Ace 68 Turbo

\#1 - name brand keebs are ass for gaming. I would never buy a Razer for the simple reason that you need Synapse, which lowers gaming performance and instantly disqualifies it. Corsair is overpriced as hell for what you get, and also requires iCue - again disqualified. And this from someone who owns (checks his closet...) 7 Corsair gaming keebs. For gaming, hall effect IMO is a must. Then it depends on a lot of things. 60-65-70-100%? Using for work and gaming / gaming only...? I have separate gaming and work keebs. So my currently gaming go to is an Mchose Ace 68 with TTC Dragon Lord switches (my favourite gaming switches currently), a knock off Holy alu shell and some basic mods (base plate, tape, switch pads, extra poron, some sorbothane, stab mods, teflon mods, extra lube, foam and butyl, etc) , although none are really necessary. Mchose has the best software of all the cheap boards I've tried (Aula, ATK, Made, madlion, etc - though woothing, epo and keychron are superior), sounds great and is very reasonable. If I were buying now, I'd place a preorder for the new Mchose Ace 68 Turbo. $8USD preorder gets you a $40USD discount ($32 USD net) on the new board when it launches in early Nov, and it has 16k polling and 256k scan rate (frankly pointless), but does feature an alu case, profile switch button and a volume control, along with many additional layers of damping for $99USD. At that price there is zero comparison to a "name brand" board.

The MCHOSE 68 ACE TURBO eSports.... This is the one.

Mchose 68 turbo. Not super expensive but honestly the best keyboard I have used.

Mchose Ace68 with TTC Dragon Lord Switched and Scyrox V6 with ATK 99G

I've been using a low-end HE keyboard for a while, replacing my old high-end standard mechanical keyboard. And I have to say, you DO feel a difference once you get used to it. They basically eliminate input delay from your keypresses. Normal keyboards need to hit an actuation point on the way down or up. These keyboards will register and de-register keys in a manner that is practically instantaneous (With rapid trigger of course). This usually manifests as multiple-frames of input latency reduction. Besides, I personally think they feel much better to play on cause it's a more intuitive input even if you don't care about stuff like "key overlap" because the keys just perform their actions much faster when your brain sends out the signal to lift or press your finger. And as a reminder, I'm using a cheap hall-effect keyboard (Mchose ace68, around 70$).

Dude, just use an HE keyboard for 5 minutes. This is not a subjective thing at all. If you think HE keyboards only give you a minimal advantage over normal keyboards, your counter strafing ability is probably atrocious to the point where it doesn’t make a difference for you. The bigger reason why pros haven’t migrated as fast as monitors is because you have to slightly change how you counter strafe on an HE keyboard and that’s an intimidating prospect. However it’s overblown and you’ll feel comfortable after just a few practice sessions.

Zywoo still plays on 240, as opposed to 360 which you seem to know as being a bigger difference compared to HE keyboards even though you've never used an HE keyboard. If you know 360 is better and gives an advantage bigger than HE keyboards (according to you), would YOU say that Zywoo is holding himself back? Surely you see how irrelevant that argument is. HE keyboards don't turn you into a counter-strafing god, they just reduce input latency and produce a more intuitive input (inputs are registered closer to when your brain presses or lifts the finger) I don't even know why I keep coming back to this argument. You literally just need to use an HE keyboard for 5 minutes instead of insisting that they somehow don't matter. Literally everyone who's used HE keyboards will tell you that they are objectively, measurably better and its hard for people to go back once they start using them. I won't be responding further.

Yes. Even a cheap one like the Mchose Ace68 like I have will completely destroy a keyboard with preset actuation points. It's hard to go back once you get used to counter-strafing on an HE keyboard.
