Welcome to Wootility v5

Welcome to Wootility's new fresh look. We carefully examined and redesigned every part of Wootility from the ground up. We created something that feels familiar to anyone used to the v4, but gives room for future growth.

It’s been a massive undertaking since the first drafts over a year ago, and today it’s finally ready for everyone to use. Wootility v5 retains backwards compatibility with every Wooting keyboard ever released, all the way from the Wooting One (8 years ago) to the latest 80HE.

Our main focus was on three things:

1. Create a coherent and clean experience by building a big lego set of buttons, sliders and text to use consistently throughout Wootility.
2. Create a dedicated menu for profile management, with simple ways to manage them and extra profile customization options.
3. Rethink how to navigate between different keyboard settings. You’ll quickly and intuitively know where to go to reach “Rapid Trigger” or “Light Indicator” settings.

v4 settings can be easily migrated right to v5. In case of any issues, reverting back to v4 is still possible.

Of course, there are new features to enjoy outside of the major redesign. Let’s jump into some highlights!

Enhanced profile management

• Profiles are now bundled in a single menu: “My Profiles”
  • Tip: click the profile in the top bar for a quick switch

• Added an overview of all active and inactive profiles per device

• Give some flair to your custom profiles with icons and colours

• Show what shortcut you can use to quickly switch to a onboard profile.

• Create a profile using one of 4 templates available (FPS Game Profile, Analog Movement Profile, Racing Profile, Typing Profile)
• Devices can now have up to 4 profiles rather than strictly needing to have all 4
• All profiles are Analog Profiles now. The split with Digital Profile was not clear.
• Changed default profile count to 2 on restore for all keyboards
• Use the new Profiles from v4 section in My Profiles to assign profiles created in Wootility v4 to a particular device to be used in v5

Added controls and keyboard features

• Drag area to select keys

• Double click to select keys with same config

• Select or deselect all keys with dedicated buttons
• Visualize arbitrary information with the 80HE’s Light Indicator

• All Rapid Trigger sensitivity settings can now be set individually per key
  • only supported on ARM devices: 80HE, 60HE+, 60HE (ARM), UwU, Two HE (ARM)
  • not supported on AVR devices due to memory and/or flash storage limitations

• On supported devices, you can now edit Rapid Trigger sensitivity inside of Rappy Snappy/Snappy Tappy advanced keys

Improved device handling

• Reduce issues with device connection when using 3rd party RGB apps
• Improve device connection handling around firmware updates
• Wootility update related notifications no longer show while updating firmware
• Devices are now detected quicker when Wootility opens

Bugfixes and small quality of life improvements

• Added a ton of tooltips that explain features
• Added quick settings for commonly used settings
• Tons of various UI and text fixes
• Fix various Right-to-left language issues
• Improved handling of errors in various situations
