## Verdict

Honestly better-built than the weak picks below it, but a premium-priced conventional mechanical board in a category now defined by rapid trigger is money spent wrong; buy the Wooting 80HE.

## For

- Tom's Hardware still recommends it as the premium full-size pick
- Realistically cross-shopped by anyone wanting a numpad
- Honestly better-built than the weak picks ranked below it

## Against

- Premium money for conventional mechanical switches with no analog input, no adjustable actuation, and no rapid trigger
- Every HE board above undercuts it
- Better move: buy the Wooting 80HE or wait for a full-size HE

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 2 of 6 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- F: Avoid. The evidence points you elsewhere.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
