11. 🤔 Wooting ADHE or TenZ ADHE? 60HEV2 or 80HE? Key factors to choose

- ✅ If you prefer a split space bar, choose the 60HEV2.
- ✅ If you use the arrow keys and function row (F1-F12) a lot, the 80HE is better, as it has dedicated keys.
- ✅ 60% is ideal if you have little desk space.
- ✅ The 60HEV2 has an aluminum case option.
