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 🙌

I am looking for a Hall Effect Keyboard that has the abilities like wooting, but isn't crappy build quality and overpriced like the wootings. I know there are many Hall Effects on the market and many have been tested to be found that they have equal or faster performance than the wooting, but I want to know what are some great keyboards that contend with the wooting but also aren't crappy plastic keyboards.

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?

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?

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.

Chatgpt says the ajazz ak820 max is best and all reviews i have seen of it are pretty good its priced nicely aswell. Has anyone used any of these three?

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.

Most of the reccommendations I’ve seen online are just paid promo. So it’s hard to tell what’s good and what’s not. I also heard most of the HE keyboards are the same, and the thing to look out for are the softwares. How true is this? Preference: 75% or 80% but not to fussed.

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

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!

I'm looking for keyboards for VAL and other games that has rapid trigger features and snap-tap.

The options I'm looking for are:

Wooting 80HE

Corsair K70 PRO TKL Hall Effect

Steelseries APEX PRO TKL GEN 3

RAZER HUNTSMAN V3 TKL (not magnetic switches)

etc..

What is considered the best option in the current market?

Which one should I go for?

I need a HE keyboard that meets the following requirements:

1. Rapid Trigger

2. Snap Tap (or whatever its called depending on manufacturer)

3. Id really like it to be 80% layout

4. Has Bluetooth / wireless and is rechargeable

5. Has decent quality and is not the first keyboard the brand just made

6. Light RGB is possible

7. No topographic keycaps

8. Can be found on olx.ba / any Bosnian site or at least shipped to Bosnia without me paying more than 175$ so i don't have to pay import duty

For now I found the ASUS (yeah i know...) Ace HFX to be the most visually appealing and closest spec wise but its 60% and has no Bluetooth / wireless.

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.

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!

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!
