I have really wanted to try out a magnet keyboard since I heard about them. I currently use a Corsair Strafe RGB mechanical. I use the computer for everyday use, but also a lot for gaming. So, for the uninitiated, magnetic keyboards are the 'new' keyboards, the others being mechanical and membrane. Membrane keyboards are the cheapest and most common of the bunch and are the ones that come with the prebuilt computers Dell, HP, Lenovo put out. Membrane keyboards are the cheapest of the bunch but are perfectly fine for the majority of people. Mechanical keyboards are usually far superior in quality providing individual switches for each key rather then one 'membrane' for all the keys. Mechanical can also be noisier that some people like, but you can also get silent switches that make them as quiet as membrane keyboards. The big difference being mechanical are far superior in key push response, which make them ideal for gamers, or those that like more key travel while they type. Hall Effect magnetic keyboards are the next evolution and essential take everything great about mechanical keyboards and add to them, with varying/adjustable actuation (how far down you have to press a key for it to register), amazing latency (total time delay that occurs between pressing a key on a keyboard and the corresponding action being registered by the computer), and an incredible polling rate (how often your keyboard is queried for input by your computer. A higher polling rate means the computer and keyboard communicate more frequently, leading to faster detection and registration of key presses). Again, widely preferred and desired by gamers because of these amazing features that the cheaper membrane keyboards don't posses. Usually these HE magnetic keyboards come with a dizzying price tag from the bigger manufacturers (like Steel Series, Wooting, Razer, etc.) but EPOMAKER (also Attack Shark, Red Dragon) have made them affordable. When I saw this one for ONLY $90 I knew I had to try it out. And it does NOT disappoint, what an absolute marvel! With the ability to change actuation points to personal preference is amazing and I have only played around with that a small amount as I only got this keyboard a few days ago. I actually like the stock settings and have played a bunch of FPS and RTS games, and this keyboard rocks. I have put aside my Corsair mechanical (which cost $100 more than this one) and this is now my main keyboard. The 65% form factor is small compared to my Corsair, but you sacrifice the numberpad. I prefer keyboards with numberpads but I am willing to make an exception with this one I like it so much! Like all keyboards I get to review, I am using it for this review, and also tested it out on Monkey Type, and the keys are responsive, feel great to type on, and sound so good. A nice 'thock' but (in my opinion) not too loud. I will definitely be trying out the actuation adjustment to see if I can get a setting that I like better, but for now I can easily say that the $90 you would spend on this keyboard is SO worth it. What an amazing keyboard. It comes nicely packaged, and like other HE magnetics, it comes with an attachable strap off the left top corner near the Esc key and is also of awesome quality. The keyboard is dense, and is as heavy as, if not heavier than my Corsair which is quite a bit bigger. There are no keyboard legs on the bottom to adjust the angle but the angle that it's at is good for me. It does have LEDs for RGB effects, 21 different flavors of rotating colors and patterns, I prefer just a basic one steady light scheme. I would prefer the key letters to be lit up, like my Corsair, but that is just my preference. I'm guessing that EPOMAKER either has, or will come out with one in the future that has backlit keys, rather than simply LEDs beneath the keyboard in rows. Overall, this is an amazing keyboard, providing an awesome typing experience, that delivers on all the metrics you would want, gamer or otherwise. Well done EPOMAKER!

So far so very good. Only got it today but have already done a ton of typing on it. And so far, this keyboard is amazing. The sound is fantastic. No stabilizer rattle. The web driver is surprisingly easy to figure out and use compared to others I've come across.The keycaps weren't shine through so I changed those to side printed keycaps I had laying around. With the original keycaps, I would say the sound was more on the creamy side. But there is a bit more thockiness with the aftermarket keycaps I'm now using. Either way, the sound was very easy on the ears.The RGB is very bright and the customization is endless. You can even do per-key lighting which I love personally.Maybe my one gripe is that I couldn't completely disable certain keys through the web driver. Maybe I missed it but I like disabling certain keys like the caps lock and the only way I found that worked was remapping the key to a Chinese character.One thing to do before you start using it for every day use. CALIBRATE! Go on the web based driver page, the site is printed on the welcome card in the box, and go to the Actuation tab and then calibrate your keys. This will save you a lot of headaches if you get ghost key presses or any other key press issues.

This is a decent hall effect/magnetic wired keyboard that seems reasonably well-constructed and for the most part works just fine without issues. It's surprisingly hefty given its size although this probably won't be something I'll be carrying around despite the fact that it appears to be advertised as such with great portability and so on.It's small and compact with the form factor that it has; 65% (well, slightly more actually but I digress) with 68 keys but I wish it's actually TKL instead since I CTRL and arrow keys fairly often and I'd like to keep them where they are supposed to be including the navigation and the systems. In any event, it works more or less as expected in comparison to most others that I've come across and tested.Keystrokes are fairly smooth and accurate and while I can't speak about the actual sensor used and its build quality and everything else, it is actually a pleasure to type on (not a difficult thing to do at this point in time but I digress). It's fairly accurate and for the most part precise in comparison to just about all those without HE switches; however, I do miss the tactile response from the blue switches at times although this isn't exactly a quiet keyboard either.On the other hand, the RGB backlight is a bit underwhelming to put it mildly. It's not nearly as effective as I thought it would be despite these are supposed to be double-shot PBT keycaps. As far as the keycaps are concerned, these are outright average and to a certain degree disappointing in my mind. I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra to get better keycaps that really shine, figuratively and literally.With that being said, while I do appreciate the RGB backlight, it's not necessarily a requirement for me per se; I'll take it if it has one and I'm ok if it doesn't. Speaking of the backlight, most of the lighting configuration (i.e. modes, colors, speed, and brightness etc) can be done directly on the keyboard through various key-combos (i.e. Fn+Ins to turn the RGB lighting on/off, Fn+PgUp to switch amongst 21 or so different lighting modes, and finally, Fn+Del to switch amongst the 8 colors) but unfortunately that's really the extent of what you can really do with the keyboard along without the so-called web driver of which I'm REALLY not a big fan frankly. Btw, it's impossible to individual set the color of any given keys using the keyboard.While the idea that I can configure the keyboard anywhere with internet connectivity seems neat at first, it's actually not the case if you think about it and it's in fact a huge security risk in my mind. In order to use a web service to configure and therefore interact with the keyboard (or any other hardware connected to your computer), you MUST explicitly allow the browser such permissions and rights and that is a big no-no in my book. Yes, there exist webcams or mics and whatnot but those are slightly different and most importantly it's the principle of necessity.I'm not gonna go into details and there are plenty of online resources/books about IT security that you can look at, suffice it to say that giving completely access to any hardware from a browser especially those that are programmable is a disaster waiting to happen. I dunno about you but I don't need to reconfigure my keyboard frequently enough that I need the ability to be able to do so from the web (or from anywhere for that matter). I prefer a standalone program that I can download and use locally WITHOUT internet access. Why on earth would I need Internet access in order to configure a keyboard? That's just absurd.≡ ValueAll things considered, this is a decent hall effect/magnetic wired keyboard that's well-constructed and for the most part works as expected without issues. It's hefty and sturdy and fairly accurate and precise keystrokes despite the fact that the keycaps are just plain average in comparison. Unfortunately, the web driver is a deal breaker for me. If there is one thing that I don't want in order to configure the computer hardware that I have, it's the web browser. It's reasonably priced at $77 for what it provides (or doesn't provide for me rather) and its overall build quality, usability, versatility, and performance. If you don't care about security in general (and not everyone does), this isn't a bad HE wired keyboard given the circumstance although there are plenty of other options and/or alternatives out there if you care to shop around. Your mileage might vary.

Keyboard is cool, space bar could be a little better and finding software for keyboard was not to hard to find just took a little while but overall cool design and switches were pretty nice sounding, frame of keyboard is plastic if you care about stuff like that but personally I like it and worth the 60 bucks? I’d say yeah especially since I’ve found other places sell it for 80$ with no discounts

Wenn man nicht pro Version kauft bekommt man nicht alle hall effect festures wie z.b. Dynamik keystroke und snap tap. Also keine Empfehlung von meiner Seite aus für die nicht Pro Variante zudem hat sie eine schlechte Software.

Not great in all honesty. Cheap which is great, but you get what you pay for. RGB doesn't work, software is useless and this is not a proper HE keyboard!Keycaps are horrible and the switches are somethings I've never heard of before.

I’ve been using the WIN68 HE for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away. If you’re into fast-paced gaming or just want an insanely responsive typing experience, this keyboard seriously delivers. The Hall Effect magnetic switches are a total game-changer. You can actually adjust the actuation point, which makes it super customizable depending on what you're doing. Whether I'm playing something competitive or just typing, every keystroke feels fast and intentional.That 8000 Hz polling rate with 0.3ms latency? Wild. Inputs feel instant, and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in games that require quick reactions. The DKS and multi-tap features are a fun bonus too - kind of opens the door for more advanced inputs once you get the hang of it.Physically, the board has a solid, premium feel. It’s got a metal positioning plate that gives it some weight without being bulky, and the 65% layout is the perfect middle ground for keeping things compact but still functional. Also, I love the RGB - it’s vibrant, super customizable, and the south-facing LEDs actually make a difference in visibility without any annoying glare.Oh, and the hot-swappable keys are just the cherry on top. I’ve already been messing around with different switch types and it’s so easy to pop them in and out without any hassle.Overall, this thing punches way above its weight. If you want something fast, customizable, and stylish, this keyboard is seriously worth checking out.
