Hesitant to leave brown switches but loving it: firm enough to avoid typos, buttery feel, easy to remap.

“I really liked my brown switches so I was hesitant at first but I am loving this new keyboard.”

Rated it 1/10: decent build, plate and keycaps, but missed keystrokes that Razer support blamed on software and wouldn't fix under warranty.

“The Razer Huntsman HE Magnetic 8KHZ built quality was decent.”

Several of its LEDs have died.

“I’ve had a few leds die on my on my G Pro X TKL Lightspeed”

They find the typing experience excellent and recommend it at $179–249, though it isn't worth the $350 list price; they paid $229.

“I know big the brands aren't favorable in this sub but Asus did a really job with the AZOTH 96 HE.”

After breaking one standard switch on their Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, SteelSeries said no replacement switches are sold, leaving a $200 board with a dead key.

“I bought a Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 few months back. I broke a Red switch (my fault completely) not one of the magnetic ones.”

Their G915 X Lightspeed TKL needed a community-made fix for stuttering and came with nightmare tech support, so they don't think it's worth $184-230.

“The Logitech G915 X Lightspeed TKL was in the lead, but nightmare foreign tech support and [stuttering that required a fix from a Reddit user]”

A Keychron K2 HE owner likes it enough for gaming that they want a work keyboard that feels very similar, and might just buy another K2 HE.

“I have the keychron k2 HE at home, for gaming. I’m looking for something that feels very similar, for work.”

A former full-size user finds the Wooting 80HE's 80% layout the perfect balance and doesn't miss anything from a 100% board.

“Coming from 100, for me 80 is the perfect balance. Using 80he from wooting.”

Testing a Keychron Q1 HE with an ISO-PT layout sold a user on the model, though they find it expensive and hard to get.

“I recently had the opportunity to test a **Keychron Q1 HE** equipped with a Portuguese layout (ISO-PT), and the experience sold me on the model.”

After a couple of years on a 60%, a coder and shooter player switched to the Keychron Q1 HE and finds its form factor better for nearly everything while still nearly as compact.

“I switched to the Keychron Q1 HE. The form factor was better for nearly everything.”

Their first mechanical keyboard was the DrunkDeer A75 Pro, which they loved at first, but it ranks last of their six boards for sound.

“Drunkdeer a75 pro (This is early HE keyboard days so of course it sounds bad)”

Both their GMMK 3 PRO and its replacement had the switch-socket issue, which they fixed by soldering.

“I ended up with two of these keyboards because I bought the first one w/o knowing about the issues, and the replacement had the same issue.”

Owns a GMMK 3 Pro and absolutely loves it, with plenty of room for foam.

“I've got 3 Glorious boards: a GMMK Pro, GMMK 3,and a GMMK 3 Pro (Boardsmith). And I absolutely love them.”

A used GMMK 3 Pro HE barebone: bright RGB, good gasket, knob and aluminium case, but many sockets don't work and the software is horrible.

“software is absolutely HORRIBLE, never have I seen one”

Calls their SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless amazing.

“i bought my keyboard steelseries apex pro mini wireless and its amazing”

Enjoys the Falcata more over time: easy switching between mouse space and split-typing comfort, perfect rapid trigger and actuation as a gaming keyboard, and the left half alone works great for couch gaming. Many USB4/TB4 cables and extenders worked for the link.

“The more I use it the more I enjoy it.”

Tested the G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL (linear) against two other boards and saw no connectivity advantage; decent, with a nice actuation force and dongle storage, but textured keycaps and a TKL layout they didn't love, so they're returning it.

“But after testing it next to the other 2 keyboards I haven’t seen any differences in connectivity or lag. Seems like it’s not that helpful. Other than that, it’s a decent keyboard.”

Chose the white 60HE v2 over a FUN60 with no regrets: amazing build quality and aluminum case, fast EU delivery and excellent software and customization.

“The build quality and the aluminium case are amazing!”

Went through six G915 X LIGHTSPEED TKLs in six months and returned the last one, every unit suffering double-keystroke chatter.

“after 6 G915 X's over 6 months, I just returned my last one. The double key stroke chatter issue.”

After a year and a half with the K70 Pro TKL, bought with their own money: a neutral, understated design and a nice soft magnetic wrist rest, but a creaking case with poor clip tolerances (the first unit arrived broken), a firmware bug that bricked it while saving a profile, and wrong factory-reset instructions.

“Hall effect with dementia.”

Likes the Falcata so far, but the long link cable is 10–15cm too short; only USB4 L-adapters and a straight extender worked to widen it.

“I like the ROG Falcata so far, but it's frustrating that ASUS didn't make the long cable 10-15cm longer.”

Tried the P1 HE but didn't like the feel or sound of its HE switches, settling on a Keychron Q1 Max.

“Lemokey P1 HE - Again, wasn't a fan of the feel or sound of the HE switches”

Very impressed so far with the tray-mounted 60HE v2: feels good and performs great in shooters, though they don't love the sound.

“I don’t love how it sounds but it feels good and performs great in games like The Finals/Bf6/Marathon”

Thought their Falchion NX was defective because it stalled at 40% charge, but it fast-charges to 40% in 30 minutes and then takes about 2.5 hours per 10% after that, so they charge it overnight.

“Apparently this keyboard has a 30 minutes fast charge that goes to 40% really fast, then the rest of the 60% is very very slow.”
