Best Hall Effect Keyboards with Rapid Trigger and DKS List (April 2024 Update)
Here’s my full list of Hall Effect keyboards (using magnetic switches) with Rapid Trigger, Dynamic keystroke and adjustable actuation point features. Basically the best for gaming. I will keep it updated regularly.
Full-Sized (100%) HE Keyboards:
- Keydous NJ98CP — $139.99
- Wooting Two HE — $194.99
- Steelseries Apex Pro — $199.99
- Corsair K70 Max — $229.99
Keydous made a really good magnetic switch keyboard. Steelseries and Corsair are good, but I’ve had problems with Steelseries before and Corsair isn’t hotswappable for other magnetic switches. Two HE is a great keyboard.
75%/80%/TKL HE Keyboards
- ATTACK SHARK K85 (75%) — $79.99
- IROK ND75 (75%) — $89.99
- Gamakay TK75HE (75%) — $89.99
- Durgod K100 (TKL) — $99.99
- Keydous NJ80-CP (preorder) — $109.99
- Drunkdeer A75 Pro (75%) — $119
- Drunkdeer A75 (75%) — $130
- Melgeek Cyber01 (80%) — $139
- Akko MOD007B HE and MOD007PC (75%) — $149.99
- Akko MOD007v3 HE (75%) — $179.99
- MonsGeek M1 HE (75%) — $159.99
- Lamzu Atlantis Pro (65%) — $159.99
- Wooting 80HE (80%) — $199.99
- Meletrix BOOG75 (75%) — $229.99
DrunkDeer A75 Pro is pretty great for this price as it has aluminium case and decent software. I have yet to test the under $100 keyboards, they should be alright, but the software is usually lacking with them. Durgod seems the most interesting from these for me.
Akko MOD007B HE is in my regular use right now and I really like it, but they’ve already released a v3 model with 8kHz polling rate and some minor improvements.
Wooting 80HE will be great for sure, 8kHz polling, great latency and rappy snappy (lol), but I don’t want to wait till August for now.
And Meletrix Boog75 is great build quality and very low latency, but it’s also quite expensive.
65% HE Keyboards
- Latenpow Looting68 — $91
- KZZI G68 — $105.99
- VXE ATK68 — $115.99
- DrunkDeer G65 — $117.99
- Darmoshark KT68Z — $129.99
- Endgame Gear KB65HE — $139
- Lamzu Atlantis Pro— $159.99
- Arbiter Studio Polar 65 — $150
- Higround Performance 65 — $165
- Varmilo Victory 67 — $199
DrunkDeer G65 seems to be the winner for me because of the price and very good software, but I’m not that into 65% layout. Also, VXE and Varmilo 67 seems good.
60% HE Keyboards
- REDRAGON M61 and M68 — $70–90
- DrunkDeer G60 — $99.99
- WAIZOWL Lightning 60 — $179.99
- Wooting 60HE — $174.99
- SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini — $179.99
- KBDFans Takka60 — $199.99
- KBDFans HOLY60 — $279.99
I wouldn’t go with the cheap Redragon keebs because of the software. Wooting 60HE is the winner here, but I’m now testing the Waizowl and it’s quite interesting. DrunkDeer is ofcourse great for a budget too.
What do I recommend (as a Valorant casual player)
- Boog75, Akko MOD007v3 HE, A75 Pro or Melgeek Cyber01 for 75% — lots of great keyboards in this layout
- Wooting 60HE for 60%
- Drunkdeer A75 Pro on budget
- Meletrix BOOG75 for a premium alternative to Wooting (feels super nice and can’t feel a differenct in latency)
- Keydous or Wooting Two HE for full size layout.
