Hi! Basically i am Looking for a good HE keyboard which is gonna be used more for gaming that typing.
Can you guys please help me with buying suggestions?
Budget: $ 280
Size: 75% or above
Other: Hall effect, Hot swap and some type of sound dampening. Also, metal case or plate is nice but not a mandatory thing.
Some models I'm considering
- ATK-RS7 PRO
- NuPhy Field75 HE
- Sikakeyb HM80
- MelGeek Made84 Pro
- Pulsar PCMK2 HE TKL
-Other ?
The Wooting 80HE looks like a fine keyboard, but unfortunately the pre order time is quite long.
Any good recommendations?
Hello,
I’m new to Hall Effect (HE) keyboards, and I’ve been reading a lot of great reviews about the following models:
MCHOSE Jet 75 HE
Epomaker HE75 Mag
SKYLOONG GK68HE Aluminum
Gamakay TK75HE V2
Sikakeyb HM80 HE
Nuphy Halo 65 HE
Monsgeek FUN60 Pro/Max
ATTACK SHARK X65PRO HE
I plan to use the keyboard primarily for competitive shooters, but I also need it to be comfortable for general typing as well. So, basically, I’m looking for an all-in-one keyboard that does both well.
My budget is around $100 USD, and I’m having a hard time deciding which one to go for. If you’ve used any of these, could you recommend one and let me know why? I’d really appreciate your input!
Thanks in advance!

coming from mechanical and just ordered aula win60he, are features socd,rt game changing?
Does the HE kb really worth it? Im looking to buy a new kb to replace my razer huntsman. There is like TONS of different stuff on the web and it's rly confusing. I don't play any cs go or valorant, very occasionally i play some Six Siege (but in a competitive way, no casual, always ranked) and very rarely some apex. I play mostly league and some mmo and all different kinds of single players games.
In a long term upgrade should i get a HE or a good mech keyboard?
My budget is around 100/150 €, i'm looking for a 75(maybe even 65 but idk if i would like it)%
and I don't rly care about sound I just want something that feels good and work good. If wireless even better.
Ty to whoever will contribute with their opinion.
Hi,
I'm looking for a new keyboard with Hall Effect magnetic switches. My preferred size would be 60%/75%. My budget is 200€ including VAT (I live in Europe). I was looking at those ones:
Keychron K2 HE
Varmilo Muse65
Wooting 60HE+ (I don't like that its plastic and looks pretty cheap for its price).
Iquinix EZ60
Have you got any recommendations or could you share your opinions on those keyboards?
Edit: I would mostly use it for gaming, but also programming.
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, I’m trying to find the best he keyboard, I have a budget of about 350$,
I saw too many options, Wooting 80he, vgn flash extreme, hex80 etc, and I’m getting too deep into it and I always see people recommending different keyboards and saying that the others are bad,
I am a computer science student and a gamer (cs2, rust, cod warzone, battlefield 6)
I prefer 80% but I don’t mind getting 65% as I already have a evo80 keyboard if I would need that.
Thanks for your help in advance!
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 all,
So, I am looking for a keyboard that is best for gaming and productivity (programming specifically); I prefer it to be wireless. My main game is Overwatch. After some searching, I saw that Wooting is best for gaming, and they are going to release 80HE soon (I prefer to have the arrows on the keyboard), but I also saw there is a Keychron Q1 HE QMK available for pre-order.
Is it better to go for Keychron since it's wireless, or go with Wooting and look for another keyboard for productivity? Or is there any other option for my use-case even if the price is higher?
Appreciate any help!
I searched a bunch and there are people who say it really makes a difference in gaming ans some say if you aren't a professional gamer you won't see a difference. There are some good cheap HEs that I think look great but I wanna know if they are worth it.
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.
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.
Hello there, I want to buy a new keyboard because my razer huntsman mini with red switches is giving me issues after 3 years of gaming service.
I was looking for an HE, I wanted to buy a Wooting but I see many budget friendly alternatives, and spending that much for a wooting (even if it is worthy) is a little bit too much for me, I am not a pro player lol.
I saw this 3 being the top 3 for most people.
I am looking for a good build, for at least 2 years of service lol
And possibly with a good configuration software.
I play mostly FPS games, like Fortnite.
So which one would you recommend?
Aula New HERO 68HE? ACE 60 Pro? or AKKO Tac 75? or something else? :)
Thank you in advance :)
Hello I need help looking for an HE 75% keyboard with rapid triggers and something similar to Snap Tap / Snappy Tappy, I have looked at Razers and Wooting but I'm not a big fan of them especially Wooting because they don't have a 75% rather they have and 80% but that releases on November. Im also considering Nuphy because I already own 2 of their keyboards and they are about to release a 75% HE keyboard with rapid triggers but no Snap Tap feature although in their FAQ they said they are working on one but I don't want to make a purchase based on something they plan to implement in the future. So does anyone know any keyboards that fit the requirements? Or should I just wait and see.
I'm looking to get a HE keyboard that is 75% layout with good software and has switches that are compatible with Wootings keyboards so I can switch them out later if needed. I was looking at some lists but a lot of them seem somewhat outdated with how many HE keyboards that have released in recent months. My budget is around $150 USD.
Edit:
I have ordered the Keychron Q1 HE as I got a discount on it
I found a list of a lot of HE keyboards if you are looking to get one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vRZ2fwIFSMtD5NstkBw-ztEqQw5Ku3unTAyN1hgXyS2yIOp4D1J3lncBersDdH4eM2EjCgNLUhc2sti/pubhtml?pli=1#
So i am looking for a new keybaord and everywhere i look people are recommending wooting and i do understand why. However at the same time i hear there build quality isn't great and you need to change a few things from it like the case which is plastic. Any recommendation for other HE keybaords that i dont need to mod and needs to be a 100% one.
EDIT: If not 100% then close to it.
Hi, im looking for a TKL or 75% board mainly for gaming, I mainly play cs2 and some osu, the wooting 80he looks great but a bit too pricey for me, sub 150 would be great, any suggestions? and hall effect/rapid trigger is preferred, thank you!
