nocries's keyboard history
nocries has had two keyboards in this stretch of his CS2 career, and the switch between them was clean. The MelGeek Mojo68 ran from September 2025 to January 2026. The Wooting 60HE v2 Silver (Split) took over in January 2026 and is still on his desk.
The Wooting is already the longer of the two periods, and he has not gone back to the MelGeek since moving off it.

Switches and actuation
The switch tied to nocries's board is the Lekker Tikken Medium.
The 60HE v2 is sold with a wide choice of switches: Lekker Linear 45 v2, Lekker Linear 60 v2, Lekker Tikken Light, Lekker Tikken Medium, Geon Raw HE and Wooting x TTC KOM. The PCB is hotswappable, so any of these can be pulled out and replaced without soldering. That makes it easy to try a different switch later without buying a new board.
Should you buy nocries's keyboard?
The Wooting 60HE v2 Silver (Split) is a 60% board. It suits players who want a compact keyboard with the extra desk space that comes with it. It is available to buy, so there is no need for a substitute. If you like to experiment, the hotswappable PCB and the six switch options are the main draw.
The alternatives trade off like this:
- Wooting 60HE+: offers the same switch options and a hotswappable PCB. Compared with his board it is 1 g lighter, 0.1 cm longer, 0.3 cm narrower and 1 cm taller. 11 pros are using it now.
- SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Black: comes with OmniPoint 2.0 switches and a non-hotswappable PCB, so the switches are fixed. It is 4 g heavier, 1.2 cm shorter, 1.2 cm narrower and 1.24 cm taller. 8 pros are using it now.
- Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini: uses Razer Analog Optical switches on a non-hotswappable PCB. It is 0.1 cm shorter, 0.7 cm narrower and 1 cm taller. 4 pros are using it now.
If swapping switches matters to you, stay with the Wooting boards. If you would rather have a fixed switch setup, the SteelSeries and Razer minis are the other 60% options.
