I'm looking for a wireless hall effect keyboard.

I already know that with wireless I would lose many of the advantages of the HE but these are my needs.

more specifically I'm looking for a keyboard that is:

-wireless

-metal construction

-Has all the classic hall effect functions.

The only options that I have found interesting are the two keyboards from monsgeek the fun60 and the m1W, but there is something that doesn't appeal to me much do you have other options to consider?

EDIT: I need a wireless keyboard because I need multi-device to switch between work PC and gaming PC quickly, otherwise do you suggest any other solutions to overcome the shortage of wireless keyboards?

Hey guys,

I’m on the hunt for a Hall Effect keyboard mainly for competitive gaming. I know Wooting is the go-to pick and everyone swears by it, but I’m kinda looking for something that also has a bit more aesthetic appeal and solid build quality.

Budget’s around 200€.
Any recommendations or hidden gems you’d suggest?

Appreciate the help 🙌

Hi all

I've been posting for a bit now, and I see a lot of the brands making Hall Effect keyboards. I get the gaming benefits with rapid trigger and setting actuation points. But besides gaming, why would someone use it for, let's say, filling in Excels, design work, content creation, etc? Would a regular mechanical be worth more?

How is the type, sound and feel of the HE boards in general? I'm used to typing on my old Ducky Shine 3 :D

Cheers!

Hey, I am getting my first pc built soon. Switching over from console which is why I don't have a lot of keyboard/mouse gaming experience.

Will be gaming mainly (90% of the time non competitive valo, fn, cs etc and also story mode) with some productivity. Sound and feel of the keys is very important.

For HE, I have two options mainly: Attack Shark x68 HE and Aula Hero 68 HE

For mechanical, I have my eyes on Aula f75 mainly.

Should I get a hall effect keyboard or a mechanical keyboard? Thanks!

I don’t mind buying from lesser-known brands or AliExpress if they’re reliable.
What’s the best bang-for-buck option out there right now?

I need a few reccomendations on wireless 65% HE keyboards. Can anyone suggest a few?

Thanks.

Like the title says, I'm trying to compare whether hall effect is actually necessary and worth it over regular linear switches. I'm migrating back to PC from PS5 and want to know if HE is worth switching back to MnK for or if I should just stick to controller and get a keyboard for it's typing feel/sound instead.

I want to set a budget of about ~$80 (maybe $100 since black friday might put some $100 boards down to $60-80) and want to get something 75% and wireless. Only thing is, I can't seem to find any decent hall effect boards that are wireless under that price, while I can get a much better wireless non HE keyboard from Keychron, Yunzii, Epomaker/Aula (F75 pro/max), maybe even a Rainy75 for around the same price.

As somebody who only plays games a couple times a week (Bf6, single players, R6, Apex) not really competitively, is there even a point to HE? The rest of my week just consists of long hours of coding/typing and regular web browsing. I get that magnetic switches have a much longer lifespan than traditional switches, but w/ hot swap boards becoming basically the industry standard now compared to 5 years ago I don't see how that's that important.

Is it really as much of a game changer as people say it is or is my money better spent on a solid traditional keyboard?

I'm looking into buying a hall effect keyboard and I want a good quality 75% or 80% keyboard that doesn't look too "gamery" and one that has stood out was the Keychron Q1 HE or the Keychron K2 HE but if y'all have any other recommendations please share them

I like the Q1's aluminum case and the web based software looks nice it also apparently has pretty good wireless connectivity and is easily moddable but if there are other better keyboards that hit these marks that I'm looking for I'd like to know

NuPhy's Field75 HE is the company's first attempt at creating a gaming keyboard with Hall Effect switches, and while there are flaws, it is among the best I've used so far.

Hall Effect keyboard switches have taken over the industry over the last few years, thanks to their customization options, speed, and Rapid Trigger support.

NuPhy's first attempt at a Hall Effect gaming keyboard is the Field75 HE, and it's among the best I've used so far.

Disclaimer: NuPhy provided the Field75 HE in exchange for a review, but did not influence the results whatsoever.

Key Specs

• Switch type: Gateron Magnetic White

• Keycaps: PBT

• Connectivity: Wired

• Form factor: 75%

• Lighting: Per-key RGB

• Features: Screw-in stabilizers, rapid trigger, macro keys, physical profile switch

• Price: $149.99

Design & Features

The NuPhy Field75 HE is one of the most unique keyboards I've used over the years, with its futuristic design and placement of the various knobs.

NuPhy placed eight macro keys across the Field75 HE, with four below the space bar and four on the left side of the keyboard. Above the left keys are two white knobs, and tucked away in the corner is a volume wheel.

The NuPhy Field75 HE uses PBT keycaps with a gasket-mounted PCB and features several layers of sound-reducing foam. All of these features give it an absolutely wonderful sound profile and overall typing experience.

My review unit has linear Gateron Magnetic White switches inside. NuPhy maintained the hot-swappable capabilities, meaning you can simply replace a single broken switch instead of the whole keyboard.

Hall Effect keyboards aren't as universal as regular mechanical keyboards, unfortunately, which means you may run into some compatibility issues with other HE switch brands.

NuPhy dropped support for the 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth wireless modes available in the regular Field75 keyboard, which is a bummer considering how many competitors still feature full wireless capabilities on their HE keyboards.

Software

NuPhy released its new web-based software, Nuphy.io, alongside the Field75, making their software setup even more confusing.

Older NuPhy keyboards use the company's dedicated software, while releases like the Air75 V2 use VIA for web-based software control and the non-HE Field75 uses the brand's Field Console software. I'd like to see them consolidate their software with future releases and make their entire lineup use Nuphy.io.

The company has done well with its release, though. Nuphy.io is super easy to navigate with just four menus at the top of the screen, and every option is very well explained.

Features like Rapid Shift, Mod Tap, SOCD, and more are hidden under the right-click menu on the main page of NuPhy.io. This location may be the only caveat to the software, but once you find it you'll be just fine.

Despite the Field75 HE having eight customizable buttons for macros... the software doesn't support them, which is something I would have liked to see at launch. Luckily, NuPhy says the feature is in the works and I'll update this review when it's released.

Performance

NuPhy came out swinging with its first attempt at a Hall Effect gaming keyboard. The Field75 HE features up to 8,000Hz polling rate and support for Rapid Trigger, SOCD, and Rapid Shift right out of the box.

I tested Rapid Trigger and Rapid Shift out while playing Valve's latest game, Deadlock, but I wasn't able to try out SOCD due to the risk of being punished.

So, I opened Warzone to give it a shot and it works just as well as you would expect. NuPhy launched SOCD and Rapid Shift over a month after the keyboard was released, and the performance of both features shows that the wait was worth it. It's always better to have a late but properly built feature than it is to have an early, broken one.

The typing experience on the NuPhy Field75 HE is great as well, but hall effect switches will never provide the same experience as regular mechanical ones. Hall Effect switches are generally more hollow sounding and lack the ability to have a tactile bump – but maybe that will change in the future.

The verdict - 4/5

There's a lot to like about NuPhy's first Hall Effect gaming keyboard, and I think they're just going to get better as the company continues to release new versions.

However, the fact NuPhy decided to launch a keyboard that has 8 macro buttons, without the ability to make macros, is just silly. Paired with the loss of wireless options... the Field 75 HE falls short from being a perfect keyboard.

Next up is the Keychron K2 HE.

I have the asus rog azoth and I love it, I got it for 98 dollars which is so good, I also changed the switchs to akko v3 cream blue pros, but recently I found a good HE keyboard for 60 dollars and reviews are good and its clean. But I already have one and I play competitive games, but I am not that high rank and I already have a good keyboard, Is it really worth it?

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?

Title. Not looking to pay almost $300 for not even having a metal back.

Update: Went with a keychron he k2 keyboard. Feels great and the software is pretty good.

Hello,

I’m planning to buy a new keyboard but I’m a bit torn between going with a traditional mechanical keyboard or trying out a Hall Effect one. I work full-time as a software engineer, so I don’t get as much time to game as I used to. Back in the day I was more of a “sweaty” FPS gamer, but now I play whatever’s fun. Single player games, story driven titles, a bit of everything really. I know Hall Effect keyboards with features like rapid trigger and adjustable actuation are popular among competitive FPS players, but I’m wondering if those features offer any meaningful benefits for someone like me who mostly games casually now and sometimes competitive. I’m currently considering the EPOMAKER x AULA F75 for the mechanical option, and the MCHOSE Jet 75 HE, NUPHY Air 75 or the Keychron k2 HE for the Hall Effect side. I’d appreciate some insight—would Hall Effect be overkill for my use case, or still worth it in terms of typing experience, durability, or general feel? If anyone’s used either of these boards or has suggestions in the same range, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hi,

im quite new in this keyboard thing. I would love to buy a new and fast gaming keyboard which is wired (has wireless too) and has some creamy / thocky switches. It would be great if it has hall effect and other good features for gaming.

I went through some research and came to the akko 007 HE - what I dont like is the clicky sound at all. The web is overblown with possibilities but I am not able to find the perfect keyboard. I would be able to mod it on my own - but tbh honest finding a stock one would be awesome.

So here we go:

a) It should have thocky / creamy switches (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CorB0q9QImw)
b) 75% with F-keys
c) Design wise i like it clean and white and i do love some japanese accents!
d) Rapid trigger / hall effect

Anyone has an idea which keyboard suits best here?

Budget: 250 Euros

Thanks!

Okay, so there’s Wooting 60HE and the Wooting 80HE has just released in 2024, but both are $200 plus shipping and the availability is not great. These are great keyboards nonetheless, but this is an article about cheaper magnetic keyboards with gaming features like rapid trigger, dynamic keystrokes and snap tap. Let’s go!

Most Hall Effect keyboards are wired for the absolute lowest latency (response time). However, some offer wireless options with Bluetooth and 2.4G connectivity, which is a nice perk for those who value a clean desk setup.

As for price, there’s a keyboard for everyone. I’ve even found some fantastic options under $100! Keep in mind, though, that build quality, software features, and switch types can all affect the price tag.

Cheap 75% hall effect keyboards

This is the most popular size and there are a lot of budget rapid trigger keyboards. The absolutely cheapest is Redragon, but it’s got bad build quality and software. Here are my recommendations:

1. MCHOSE Jet 75 - $69

2. Akko TAC75 - $69.99

3. YUNZII RT75 – $89

4. Keychron K2 HE - $129.99

I have 4/5 of these keyboards. Yunzii RT75 has also a really low price, it’s a great entry keyboard with rapid trigger. Akko Tac75 is slightly better build quality IMO and Keychron K2 HE is super nice mechanical keyboard. Jet 75 is plastic build and a fantastic price, but the software is lacking a bit.

Both Drunkdeer A75 Pro and G75 are the two only Hall Effect keyboards out there that comes with optional silent switches. And G75 has probably the best stock sound with regular switches, it’s my personal daily driver now. Both Drunkdeer keyboards have snap tap.

Full sized magnetic keyboards

The only budget keyboards here are:

1. Aula F98X – $105

2. Keychron K4 HE - $135

3. Keydous NJ98-CP V2 – $149

I have had Keydous and it’s very good, it’s also wireless and with aluminium/brass plate with great build quality. And it supports magnetic and regular mechanical switches at the same time. Aula F98X I haven’t used, but it’s really cheap, nothing comes close to this low price. Keychron K4 HE just released in March 2025.

60-65% small rapid trigger keyboards

1. MCHOSE Ace 60 – $39

2. MonsGeek FUN60 - $35.99

3. Nuphy Halo65 HE – $89.99

4. DrunkDeer G60 – $99

5. Nuphy Air60 HE – $119

6. Luminkey Magger 68 – $119

MCHOSE just released in November 2024 and the price is insanely good, I don’t know much about the brand though.

I have Monsgeek Fun60 and it’s a great Wooting 60HE alternative at half the price with really good performance. I’m no Valorant player but I play some games and the latency is really low. And the Nuphy Air60 HE is a new addition, I also purchased it. It’s a low profile HE keyboard, so it’s a different experience, but it’s solid and the software is really good.

Just looking for a cheaper alternative to the Wooting with the same key features. I don't care about aesthetics or sound as long as it has great performance and a good software.
