I’m going to get my first customisable Keychron keyboard. I am fairly new to keyboard modding, but I have been watching videos and came across the term thock, which I seem to like how it sounds. I also started learning about Hall switches, and they have a cool concept. I currently own Cherry MX Blue switches, and I don’t particularly like the extreme clickiness and sound. Which switch option would you recommend: mechanical or Hall, and why?

Ps: I have heard that the HE switches have fewer types and that they feel a bit metal due to the magnet.

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.

I'm considering buying a He keyboard to play valorant, just wanna know does using HE keyboard really help for valorant gameplay or just buy the standard mechanical keyboard with better switches. For HE keyboard im consider ATK 68 and mechanical one is AULA F75, also can suggest other option for each keyboard with value price...

It is November already. I want to get myself a new keyboard to replace an old TKL one at home.

The problem is I don't know if I should get a HE keyboard which supports rapid trigger or a 65-68 mechanical keyboard.

My use is only for working (typing text a lot) and gaming (various, but csgo or r6s would be most).

The only issue I'm afraid of is the sound that the HE keyboard makes. Most of the sound test videos show that it sounds like a Gatling gun at midnight. I'm not a pro gamer and don't gaming a lot, but the delay on the current keyboard annoys me, so I want to reduce it as much as possible.

Which keyboard do you recommend for both use?

Hey, Im currently looking for a new keyboard and i hear alot about HE Keyboards and that they where made to be good for gaming but currently im not gaming as much and im more in the productive world id say. So basically to keep it short if i buy a nuphy air75HE will it also be a good keyboard for productivity?

Hi! I finally have all the pc tower parts and now I’m looking into a keyboard and mouse. I like flat thin keys (like laptop keyboards) cause I like having long nails.

I was wondering if mechanical keyboards are better for gaming? That’s generally what I see people use. I tried to look it up but the answers I found were kind of old and I didn’t know if anything changed.

If things haven’t changed, then are all mechanical keyboards created equally or are their certain things I should look for to actually get that possibly advantage that mechanical keyboards provide?

Any advice is appreciated :)
