Been wanting to make the switch to Hall effect for a while now. Currently i have a roccat pyro and I absolutely love the volume knob and number pad.
My question comes down to, what is there for HE keyboards that are full sized, OR would it be a good idea to get a 68%/75% keyboard, like the aula or monsgeek, and also get a numberpad macropad?

Place was robbed & my tech gear was stolen some months back. Finally in a spot to replace some things.
Been doing research / watching YouTube vids & looking for a decent Hall Effect board. Most good ones seem to be priced around $200 wondering what good $100 options there are if any.
This KEYDOUS NJ80-CP HE board has a few videos on it & they say it's pretty decent but wondering what the community thinks.
Previously on a Razer BlackWidow 100%.
I’ve compiled a list of full-sized (100%) Hall Effect keyboards with Rapid Trigger, adjustable actuation points, and dynamic keystroke features—perfect for gaming. Full-sized HE keyboards don’t get as many exciting releases as smaller layouts, but here’s what’s available:
Full-Sized (100%) Hall Effect Keyboards
-
Keydous NJ98-CP Pro HE V3 – $149.99 Wireless, hotswappable for both magnetic and regular 3/5-pin mechanical switches. First of its kind! Flexibility makes it a standout.
-
Aula F98X - $109 - 99 keys layout, 4000mah battery, unknown Aula magnetic switches.
-
Wooting Two HE – $194.99 Reliable, but a bit older. Still, one of the best for gaming precision.
-
SteelSeries Apex Pro – $199.99 Good performance, but lacks hotswappability for magnetic switches.
-
Corsair K70 Max – $229.99 Expensive, and you’re locked into their switches.
-
GMMK 3 – $199.99 Keyboard accepts both 5-pin mechanical and Glorious HE magnetic switches. Switches are pretty nice, but it's quite expensive.
-
Keychron Q5 HE QMK – $229 Great build quality, QMK support, 96% layout.
My Top Picks:
-
Best Overall: Keydous NJ98-CP Pro HE V3 for its switch flexibility, brass build and wireless capability.
-
Budget Option: Aula F98X
-
Pure Performance: Wooting Two HE for reliable brand with long warranty.
What’s your favorite full-sized HE keyboard, or are you waiting for more options to drop? Let me know your thoughts!
Im not smart when it comes to keyboards and I want the best bang for my buck for a keyboard that is a 100% Hall Effect silent keyboard. I really want the budget keyboard with these specifications, my budget being at most $90. Also, if it has snap tap that would be cool, but I believe that is asking for too much. Thanks for any and all help!
