Wootility is Wooting’s keyboard customization program. This allows users to change the performance of their keyboard (which can be quite immersive due to the analog switches) as well as the lighting and other things. What’s interesting about Wootility is that it is web-based, with users only needing a download for certain special features.
In this article, we will look at Wootility features and tell you how to use them.
Web Based
Web-based Wootility. This means you don’t need to download anything to use it. Just open a browser, navigate to wootility.io, and you can configure your keyboard.
If you want to do more advanced things with your keyboard (like record macros or let the LED bars on compatible boards display sound levels), you’ll need to download software, but for most things, you can just use the web.
Wootility Features
Just like most mechanical keyboard manufacturers, Wooting allows users to configure their keyboard. Within Wootility, users can do the following:
- Customize RGB and create lighting profiles using different layers and effects
- Remapping keys and setting up key layers
- Enable features like Snappy Tappy, Dynamic Keystroke, and more
- Enable and configure Rapid Trigger on a per-key basis
- Adjust the actuation point of each individual key
- Enable Tachyon mode (increases keyboard response speed)
- Save lighting and performance settings for up to three installed profiles
That’s almost everything you want to configure on the keyboard directly in your browser. Wooting was the first major brand to really popularize browser-based customization tools, and this has been done by certain other brands as well.
What is Wootomation?
Wootomation is an optional software download for Wooting users who want to create macros. Wootility’s web-based customization allows key rebinding, but any in-depth macro recording needs to be done through Wootomation.
How to use Wootility

Is Wootility Worth It?
Due to its browser-based nature, Wootility is very easy to use. There’s no need to download any software, which means you can perform in-depth keyboard customization anywhere. As long as the PC you are using has a browser, you can use it.
Moreover Wootility is also very user friendly. Everything is explained clearly, and the software itself is easy to navigate.
Wootility is undoubtedly one of the best customization programs today. It also continues to receive updates, which is a real bonus. We’d even say that it’s one of several reasons why Wooting keyboards have become so popular in the professional world.
