Wooting 60HE+ module Quickstart
Hey! Nice to meet you
This guide will help you get started with your Wooting 60HE+ module. Make sure to read the text and not skip too many things. You'll be thankful you did afterwards.
We would love to see the build you came up with. Feel free to share your custom-builds or sound tests on our Discord. And don’t shy away to tweet us a sweet picture at @wootingkb.
What's inside the box
- 1x Wooting 60HE+ module
- 1x USB-C cable
- 1x Poron Sandwich Pad
- 1x EPDM dampening foam
- 10x Silicone stand-off protection sticker
- 7x PH1 M2 White Screws
- 1x EVA foam lid as temporary case
Sandwich pads
The module comes pre-installed with the Silicone sandwich pad. The Silicone sandwich pad dampens a broad range of frequencies, reducing overall volume, and emphasizing the remaining crisp “clacking” sounds.
You can choose to swap the Silicone sandwich pad for the Poron sandwich pad. The Poron sandwich pad dampens high-frequency clacking noises, enhancing the keyboard's low-frequency “thock” sounds.
You can find a video here on how to swap the sandwich pads.
Installing switches
There are many ways to install switches, but only one correct way. Make sure you are installing the switches with the LED window to the top facing north. Trying to install the switches any other way may damage your PCBA or LED.
The only exception here is the return key on the ISO models. Here the LED window needs to rotate left facing west.
O-rings
You can place these self-adhesive silicone o-rings on each of the stand-offs. This will protect the PCBA from damage caused by metal stand-offs.
Alumaze 60
The official Wooting aluminum 60% has subtle curvatures creating a unique looking aluminum case and breaking away from those typical rectangular shapes.

Keyboard modes & shortcuts
The strength of a 60% keyboard comes from its layers and shortcuts. Out of the box, the 60HE comes with 2 additional layers accessible with the FN1 and FN2 key. Below you can find our default mapping.
