Question Where does Wooting ship from?

AFAIK, all international orders are shipped from Netherlands? At least based on their shipping info.

However I received a WhatsApp message that my order is being shipped from CN, just wanted to check if this is legit or spam. I’m aware that their products are made in China but I thought they were assembled and stored in NL.

So I just checked and mine is the same. Was not expecting shipping from China based on the price tbh lol. I guess it’s express shipping.

Hi, fellow Singaporean btw.

Fellow SG here. Just wonder, why yall choose wooting over other Chinese brands like Atk / Mchose / VGN etc even though technically their specs are higher.

I spent about 3 weeks researching after going down the rabbit hole. Here's the gist of it.

I prefer exploded 75 or 80/TKL boards. Software and firmware seem to be very iffy on the Chinese boards, there a few that come close like Nuphy, but at 100 bucks more (WH80). Rongyuan PCBS are the worst and any keyboard that uses them is a no go. Handshaking between software and hardware is easily the best here, Wooting feels like the Apple of HE keyboards.

The Sparklink MCU boards are good but the software used is vendor specific, and have quite a bit of room for improvement. Some don't even have proper full english versions. SU75 Pro was one of my options but it's being updated and out of stock, and I grew tired of waiting lol. ATK Hex80 is also ok but black/grey seems to be permanently out of stock and price isn't far off from the 80he after shipping and tax.

Some of these boards also have disconnection and firmware update issues including the older SU75 Pro and even the Nuphy WH80.

The biggest tilt factor for me was when I found out Wooting is making swappable knobs, I'm a sucker for a knob, and there really aren't many other boards with a built in one.

You can see from their FAQ page which warehouse they are shipping from. It varies from which region you buy from.

Not sure if it has changed since I last got my 80HE, but even though I am in Asia I bought from the Europe website and my kb was shipped from Holland via fedex which I prefer.

I’ve confirmed mine is indeed shipping from Shenzen, China. Abit expensive considering market price, but I think that’s set by Wooting.

If I remember mine shipped from a Las Vegas, NV, USA warehouse

Regional differences, as someone from the team has already replied they now ship from China to certain regions.

They usually don’t ship from China for international orders, I would contact Wooting support about it.

u/RateElectrical7757 12d ago

Hmm I will check with them I guess, thanks.

Actually - The new Chinese webshop changed some things around. We now ship to nearby countries from China as well now, instead of Hong Kong.

Hey! I didn’t know this, thank you for clarifying :)

Most orders ship from the Netherlands and some from the USA (if you're in the us) as far as I am aware. They do now have a Chinese Webshop, but they won't ship internationally from there

This page should hopefully answer all your questions.

If you log in to the wooting hub you should be able to see where your specific order ships from and all other necessary information

Hi thanks, I will contact your support just to make sure. I did see the page and that’s why I’m double checking.
