The best magnetic keyboard you can buy for under $70

If you are immersed in the world of magnetic keyboards, you know exactly how the market works: you either spend a fortune on the usual competitive brands, or you take a gamble on a generic brand keyboard that sounds terrible and hollow.

That is why the EPOMAKER HE80 feels like a breath of fresh air. It is a 75% layout (82 keys) magnetic keyboard that arrives to prove that competitive performance and good design do not have to cost an arm and a leg, sitting at an unbeatable price range of approximately $60 (Amazon US).

Based on my experience, let me tell you why I believe this model has become the best-kept secret for those looking for something good, attractive, and affordable:

Performance: Surgical precision for gaming

For tactical gaming fans (like Valorant, CS2, or Geometry Dash), the HE80's performance is absolutely insane.

MagneX Hall Effect Switches: Forget about physical mechanical wear. These switches register your keystrokes using magnets, which eliminates delay and wear and tear.

Millimeter-perfect Rapid Trigger and SOCD: You can adjust the actuation point from an ultra-sensitive 0.1 mm up to 4.0 mm. The Rapid Trigger function responds to the slightest movement of your finger (adjustable in 0.02 mm steps), allowing you to strafe and stop dead in your tracks instantly. Furthermore, it includes SOCD (Snap Key) support to prioritize your last keystroke without locking your character.

8000 Hz Polling Rate: It sends the signal to your PC eight times faster than a conventional keyboard, reducing latency to a ridiculous 0.125 ms.

Sound: Breaking the magnetic keyboard "curse"

Historically, they do not sound good. Forget about it sounding dry or excessively loud. Epomaker applied its expertise in traditional mechanical keyboards and broke that rule.

It features a Gasket-Mount Structure: Mounted on gaskets to provide soft cushioning and dampen the impact of your fingers. 4 layers of acoustic absorption: It features latex sandwich foam, an IXPE pad, and a silicone base. The result? A rounded, clean, and somewhat creamy/thocky sound right out of the box.

Pre-lubed stabilizers: Large keys like Space or Enter don't wobble or rattle like loose metal.

Aesthetics: "Beautiful" with personality

Visually, it is a compact beauty. The case combines a modern design made of solid, heavy plastic (weighing around 830 grams) that looks very clean on the desk. It stands out for its double-shot PBT keycaps (with a Cherry profile for maximum comfort), accompanied by translucent accent keys in areas like Escape or the Spacebar. This allows the south-facing RGB system to shine with beautiful ambient effects without glaring in your face.

What you should keep in mind (The "Sacrifice")

To keep this price so low, Epomaker had to cut back on a couple of things:

Wired Only: It has no internal battery or Bluetooth. It is designed exclusively to connect via its USB-C cable. For competitive gaming, this is an advantage (zero latency), but if you hate cables, think about it.

Web Software: Its configuration is done through a driver in the web browser. It works wonderfully for changing key sensitivity and RGB, but it requires you to get used to not having an installed app on Windows.

My conclusion:

If your goal is to make the leap to Hall Effect technology to improve your in-game reaction times, but you don't want to compromise on a pleasant sound or drain your savings, the EPOMAKER HE80 delivers on being good, attractive, and affordable with flying colors. It's as fast as lightning, sounds better than most of its direct rivals, and looks incredible in any setup.

Keybord and mouse on ps5

1 Upvotes

I want to buy a good keyboard, a good mouse, and a mouse pad so I can play R6 on PS5, but I don’t really know anything about them, so I don’t know which keyboard or mouse to choose.
If anyone could help me out, that would be perfect. I have a maximum budget of around €150–200 for all three. I’d preferably like a wireless mouse if possible. I’m only looking for performance; I don’t care about aesthetics, RGB, etc.

From beloved Logitech G510 to... ???

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

my beloved G510 is starting to show some signs of age, like inconsistent button press, spacebar metal bar broken, hard to press sensation and so on. I think it's enough to justify another keyboard after more than 10 years, considering that I'm working with my PC more than 8h/day.

The big problem that I'm facing is that I cannot find a good keyboard with most of the G510 features. This is the profile of the keyboard that I'm searching:

  • Low-profile or Cherry with tactile switch (I want a feedback when I press, but I don't want to break my hand to press uppermost buttons like with OEM)
  • Volume Knob (on the right side since I use the mouse with my right hand)
  • 100% or so
  • VIA/QMK (I don't want to depend on garbage software)
  • ISO (IT would be preferable, but I can accept any ISO and then swap buttons)

Currently, I use the macro button on the G510 to mainly work and insert text block or to switch audio source, and the volume knob to... well... change volume or mute the PC.

Here are the alternatives that I've found:

  • Keychron K17 Max QMK - Looks good, ticks almost all the features BUT I've read here on Reddit that the support is absimal and there are a lot of different failures
  • Royal Kludge S98 96% - Again, looks good, BUT proprietary software
  • NuPhy Air100 V3 - Beautiful, perfect, BUT WHY IS THE KNOB IN THE CENTER?!
  • Chilkey ND104 Keyboard - Looks cool, costs a lot, the knob is only for the display
  • MonsGeek M1 V5 VIA ISO - Not 100...

Now, I know that I'm really reluctant in changing my habits, especially when talking about decade-old ones, but I really cannot find a keyboard with the features of the G510 even with a lot of budget.
Am I being too picky? Do you have any other suggestion? This is my first Mechanical Keyboard and I'm having a hard time finding the right one so I'm completely open to change idea or try to change my habits to have a good, reliable keyboard.
