I use a GMMK TKL - the original, not the Pro. It has a polling rate that goes from 125Hz up to 1,000Hz. I got my wife to switch the polling rate without telling me. I played some games. After a few switches, I realise I could not tell the difference between even 125Hz and 1,000Hz. I can't do a blind comparison between my HE and mechanical keyboards, but I notice no improvement at all in my gameplay. I even have two keyboards (the Irok NA87) that are the same, but one is mechanical and one HE. I cannot tell the difference. The extra features of the HE are convenient. And perhaps if I was in the upper echelons of competitive gamers, I might benefit from it, but as a casual gamer, no. In general use, a good mechanical is better than an HE. Most HEs use proprietary switches (or use switches with a very limited pool of interoperability) which really limits your choice. That's a really annoying thing. Being able to adjust the actuation point on HE boards is rather nice and can help with general typing. And that's perhaps the biggest plus for general use.
r/keyboards β’ Mechanical vs Hall Effect β Which keyboard makes more sense for me? ->There's a 3rd version already? I still have an original GMMK full size which I modded and installed silent switches and some MT3 keycaps. Still use it for in the office. There's some negative opinions about GMMK but mine is still going strong. Happy shopping!
r/MechanicalKeyboardsUK β’ Uk Layout ISO 100% RGB hot-swappable keyboard recommendations ->I mean realistically the most you want a keyboard to be is durable and responsive. I personally use Glorious's fullsize keyboard.
r/starcraft2 β’ Keyboard for Zerg! ->I use a GMMK also and I love it. Why do you want to switch?
r/cs2 β’ What Keyboard are yβall using? ->You can get one from a 3rd part, like gmmk, which have some nice palm rests. Currently using their wooden one.
