IROK - MG68Plus

Get the mercury68, it's better than wooting and for €45 on Aliexpress

By gaming do you mean competitive fps? If yes, then suggesting some HE keebs (and TMR) 1. Irok MG68 Plus (specially for the quality of internals/PCB, same level as tier1 boards) (Wired) Great sound too, love it. 2. VGN Neon 75HE+ wired (or go 75HE Ultra for wireless, same switch), HE+ which is wired with lowest latency board and falls in top5 iirc 3. Skyloong gk68 mix TMR (10k mah battery) TMR means you can swap HE & mech switches on same keyboard, so use HE ones for WASD12345 and rest use mechanical for the sweet sound (Wireless) 4. **Anti-recommendation**: Don't fall for Mchose ace68 turbo just because of the looks; for the moment. Why? i) Being recalled in China due to firmware problems, ii) the aluminium casing has peel off issues. Firmware is fixable but case once produced needs stock clearance thats why you see it being sold for $115 on Mchose site + given more margin to retailer/vendors to clear stock.. Wait for things to be fixed after that it can be considered. I have it on my site too, but not recommending atm. Just cuz u have 12k budget doesn't mean you should throw away 12k xD, above boards are between 8k to 10k Irok MG series have wireless options too but I don't recommend at the moment, although Irok has been making insane keeb+mice with specs landing them in top3 w.r.t. latency but wait for iterations on mg wireless. Hope it helps. \---- All boards are available on my store (including Turbo but my recommendations are personal & unbiased) [https://www.xtro.gg/category/keyboards](https://www.xtro.gg/category/keyboards) Discord: [https://discord.gg/KQsqGMChgt](https://discord.gg/KQsqGMChgt)

I wouldn't recommend keychron/lemokey HE due to their flipped polarity ks37 switch family and lackluster HE implementation resulting in, among other things, substantially worse performance compared to other boards using either inhouse PCB development or good OEMs like xingshan/sparklink. Maybe look at melgeek real67, chilkey slice75, irok mg68plus/mg75max, custom venom pcb or k64h3mz builds?

i would much rather irok mg68plus, more reliable pcb

epomaker is pretty bad, the irok does have better implementation

most of the options mentioned using this thread are using older pcb OEMs, i would recommend the irok mg68plus and mg75max. which use sparklink/xingshan, the same solution found in higher end options like melgeek and nuphy air if you can afford $90, the melgeek real67 is going to be more reliable with more consistent support and development, and is also gasket mounted for better acoustics and feel (feel is marginal tho because its a stiff assembly)

a) dual rail switches isnt necessarily a good thing, its a mid gateron switch family (ks37) b) actual true doubleshot pbt is far far far less common than advertising will have you think, it's usually one shot of PBT (or sometimes only small part PBT) and the other shot of ABS but you can get an irok mg68plus for that price pretty consistently, which satisfies the rest + has ks20 family and better firmware and performance

try use the sparklinkplayjoy driver on your irok if it uses a sparklink pcb (mg68plus, mg75 series, mer68 series)

I'd recommend an HE board such as the irok mer68, mer68pro, mer68max, or ideally mg68plus or melgeek real67. These all use a PCB manufactured by Sparklink which means they perform great, and are more reliable than other options such as the fun60 or ace60 series, as both of those use rongyuan or shenzhen arbiter pcbs which have less stable firmware with less support on top of performing worse. I'd advise using sparklink's OEM driver instead of Irok's for later setup, but use Irok's own web hub for the first use (to update firmware if necessary). Sparklink's WebHID driver can be found at https://sparklinkplayjoy.com or https://xsyd.top

If you want granular input then do everglide su75 pro, irok mg68plus or mg75 pro/max, chilkey slice68/75he, morkblade bold tkl, or a custom build with a geonworks venom pcb. Most HE/TMR boards use pretty unreliable OEMs such as shenzhen arbiter or rongyuan which don't have great stability and frequently drop support. These options use another OEM called sparklink which is more stable and reliable, and the configurators are also way better (can even write your own if you want with their SDK). The Venom PCBs are even better as theyre developed inhouse. I'd avoid wooting due to pricing and buid quality as well as stock switches and lack of good sounding/feeling mounting options. Monsgeek falls into the category of boards using bad OEMs, in this case rongyuan. Keychron is okay, but the build quality, switch options, mounting, and pricing falls behind good options using sparklink pcbs.

both are unreliable. If you want a cheap HE board like the x68, get an irok mer68/pro/max or mars75/pro, or ideally an everglide ae68 pro metal. Next price tier up is irok mg68plus, mg75 pro/max, everglide su75 pro.

mg68plus is the best of these, most reliable PCB with a good open source configurator. Could also look at everglide ae68 pro metal

everglide ae68 pro or su75 pro are pretty good options, reliable pcbs and great performance. Also irok mg68plus and mg75 pro/max most boards around this price point like jet75, ace60 series, m1 v5 tmr and sk75 tmr use PCBs from brands like rongyuan and shenzhen arbiter which have some stability issues from firmware lacking autocal, and just having a bad development schedule prioritising new releases over continued support

i would do a custom venom60/65/87/88he pcb with ndiy freya, mathew he, or haimu dove silent switches. Aiglatson vella is good for the 60% and is sold in a kit with it, machina overture65, swk eave65, and bakeneko65 work with venom65, and h87/88 cases will work with the TKLs, a standout pick being the geonworks frog tkl leggera Wooting's pcbs and software are good but the case and switch quality is really lacking and they're quite overpriced. Keychron is also overpriced and their stock switches aren't great, but the open source firmware is nice Nuphy's stuff is a mixed bag, some of their boards use sparklink pcbs, which are good but you can get the same stuff for cheaper with brands like everglide (su75 pro) or irok (mg75 pro/max). The other nuphy stuff uses other older pcb oems which have reliability issues Steelseries software is pretty atrocious and their build quality is really lacking Gravastar is really investing in form over function, wouldn't recommend unless youre fine to prioritise aesthetics over actually functional acoustic design etc ducky and razer are both overpriced companies that get away with predatory pricing and low quality products because of marketing and distribution plus brand loyalty from times when the market was less developed and lemokey's just keychron If you need a prebuilt I'd check out everglide ae68 pro metal or su75 pro, irok mg68 plus or mg75 pro/max, chilkey slice68/75, morkblade bold tkl or mk60 (you want the aula one, it's not actually an aula product it just has better switches and is sold under their name) geonworks venom pcbs are super good options due to performance, consistent firmware development, pricing, a good configurator, and importantly (something that wooting is lacking) good case compatibility with oring mounting points for 60%, a 65 that's compatible with existing good mounted 65s like glare65 and bakeneko65, and TKLs that conform to hiney h87c/nu and h88 standards

Helloo bro Yeaa i got the mg68 pro.. very nice.keyboard., like.it Tbh all.of them pretty similar in that price range

Keychron/Lemokey are kinda safe options, but I won't really recommend them since they're using switches with inverted magnet polarity, so you basically don't have any aftermarket options if you don't like stock ones. For \~50$ you should be fine with something like Mchose ACE68/JET75 or Epomaker HE68 Lite (doesn't have web-based software though). There are quite a lot of 60% options with similar specs within this budget. You can even get one with aluminum case for 60-ish like Irok MG68.

There are two routes I can recommend. Pag medyo competitive ka then I would recommend that you go with Hall Effect Keyboards (they use magnets to register key presses and pwede mong i-customize yung sensitivity ng key presses mo like kung gaano mo kadiin i-prepress yung switch before it activates). Then there are also other features like SOCD/Snap Tap - basically kung iprepress mo ng sabay yung 2 na keys eh mag-reregister lang yung last pressed making strafing sa CS easier (pero nasa user talaga yan eh) For my recommended Hall Effect Keyboards Irok MG68 and Irok MG75, they have an aluminum case which means they're chonky and metal just feels so good for me. They're priced around like 2-3K, depende rin kasi sa layout na gusto mo. They're hot swappable rin meaning you can change the switch if meron mang di gumana or something. Meron ring Aula Hero 68 at 75 rin pero they're plastic and mas trip ko Web Driver ni Irok kaysa sa Aula For the next route kung medyo casual ka and you type a lot, I would go sa Mechanical Keyboards. Maraming magaganda like in 1.5-2k range and kung mahilig ka magkalikot eh baka magustohan mo mag-mod and mag-try ng different type ng switches. You can build a mech keeb to your preference, marami pa akong yap pero wag na. Reco ko dito is Leobog Hi75 at Fury Cube E68, mga aluminum nananaman na nasa 2k-2.5k range. Maraming mas cheaper na plastic like Elecfox, Aula, etc... pero sucker lang talaga ako sa mga metal HAHAHA. Ni-recommend ko pala yang mga yan kasi meron saakin yang apat. Pipili ka nalang siguro kung anong gusto mong layouts like kung gusto mo ng maliit go with 68%, gusto mo may mga knobs - 75%, Tenkeyless naman kung ayaw mo ng Numpad. Kung wala kang nagustuhan sa mga reco ko eh, may nahanap kang trip mo, search ka lang ng mga reviews sa YT para may-basis ka. Nasa iyo naman yung pera eh HAHAHA.

Attack shark web/software is really bad. Edit: I recommend Irok Mer68 SE, it has SOCD(Rapid trigger,Snap tap), Hot swap, Quick reset sensitivity, deadzone, 0.01mm to 3.50mm, Dynamic Key Stroke, Anti-ghosting mode and key calibration. No Analog input that i can find. For $46 its hard to beat. Software: [https://hid.irok.cc/](https://hid.irok.cc/) (doesn't work on Firefox, i use Brave)

Anything but steelseries my apex pro mini RGB broke after a few months as well as my caps lock key having a very inconsistent bottom out actuation. If money is an option look at other like Irok68 or like pulsar. I switch from my Apex pro to an Irok68 and I can definitely say it’s a way better KB

U def need to give it a shot to decide urself. For me, it's a must. Being able to adjust ur actuation point and have snap tap(socd) are game changer in valorant (even in cs2 or pubg) For budget he keyboards, I would rec these rn: irok carrotmas mecury68/ mchose jet75/ mchose mix87/ vgn neon75 (pro version and above have 3 modes)
