LEKKER-V2-L45
ActiveWooting Lekker V2 Hall Effect 45g
Wooting Lekker V2 — analog Hall effect switch with rapid trigger.
Common Applications
The switch that changed competitive gaming. Hall effect magnetic sensing with adjustable actuation (0.1-4.0mm) and rapid trigger — the key resets instantly when released instead of waiting for the spring to push back. Used by competitive FPS gamers for faster strafing. Wooting 60HE popularized this technology. Not MX compatible — requires Wooting or compatible HE PCB.
Openness & Hackability
Wooting firmware is partially open (Wootility software). The hardware is proprietary HE PCB. Community has reverse-engineered the protocol for custom remapping. Cannot use standard MX switches in Wooting boards or Lekker switches in standard boards.
Specifications

Actuation Force
The force needed to press the button. Lower = more sensitive. Sanwa ~65g (light), Seimitsu ~85g (medium), Happ ~130g (heavy).
|
45g
|
|
Mechanical Life
How many press cycles before mechanical failure. Higher is better — 10M cycles at 100 presses/day = 274 years.
|
Unlimited (no contact)
|
|
Mounting Type
How the button attaches to the panel. Panel mount is standard — installs through a cutout from the front.
|
Hall effect PCB mount
|
|
Travel Distance
How far the button moves when pressed. Shorter = faster response. Sanwa 0.85mm is extremely short for competitive gaming.
|
Adjustable 0.1-4.0mm (software)
|
Installation Quick Reference
Panel cutout: 22mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).
Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.
Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.

Troubleshooting
Button doesn't respond when pressed
Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.
Works intermittently
Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.
Button feels mushy or doesn't click
The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
