"Now, cosmetic details like badges, weights, and engravings are appearing in mass-produced Hall effect keyboards. All of these details not only make a keyboard feel better to use, but also make it a statement piece on your desk. Much like how mechanical keyboards are not only functional, but personal and expressive, the same extends to Hall effect keyboards. The $140 Luminkey Magger68 Plus HE is a Hall effect keyboard with a 65% layout, an aluminum case, and a gasket-mount assembly."
"The typing experience of this keyboard is crisp and poppy without being excessive-the switches are smooth to press, with relatively-light springs requiring 36 grams of force to press fully (compared to a Cherry MX Red's 50-gram springs) and a 3.5-millimeter travel distance (just a bit shorter than the standard 4.0 mm). The switches snap back quickly after being pressed, and have a satisfying, full sound when typing that I find preferable to the lighter, more "thin" sound of most Hall effect keyboards."
The Luminkey Magger68 Plus HE is a 65% Hall effect keyboard that pairs metal construction with gasket-mount assembly. The keyboard uses Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro linear switches with 36-gram springs and 3.5 mm travel for a crisp, poppy yet not excessive keypress. Typing produces a satisfying, relatively deep and slightly marbly sound with quick switch return. The keyboard includes solid aluminum case, high-quality keycaps, cosmetic details like badges and weights, and extensive customization options including 8,000-Hz polling. Limitations include unclear software, imperfect RGB color accuracy, and wired-only connectivity. The price is $140, offering a balance of style and high performance.
