Hi all, I'm a casual gamer with a nice gaming setup in the living room, so I'm gaming from the couch and using a wireless low profile scissor switch keyboard. This keyboard has poor range so it's not consistent and the response time is not that great. That gives me a good reason to start looking for something new! I mainly play shooters, so a new keyboard would need to be solid in response time and wired is not an option. The last week I've gone through so many mechanical keyboards that I'm really lost what to pick as my first mechanical keyboard. I've watched the YouTube videos from Miggs, went through numerous threads on Reddit already. I almost pulled the trigger on one of these two: Monsgeek M1 V5 TMR - around €160,- Womier SK75 TMR - around €120,- I've read that currently TMR is the latest and greatest, but maybe a keyboard with Hall Effect would be sufficient as well for me, and it seems those are a bit cheaper. Also Weikav Nut65 for example seems great at first glance. Must have * 65/70/75 layout * Wireless * 8K polling rate Not mandatory * Aluminum. The Monsgeek and Womier are aluminum and therefore quite heavy. Plastic is also fine I guess * A knob * RGB I don't have any preference so far how the keyboard sounds and feels because I've never experienced it. Ideas and suggestions are welcome!
Received it today. So far it's amazing! Quality feels very solid and it types snf sounds great. Very very responsive compared to my old keyboard. Software is fine for me as well. https://preview.redd.it/v99t3jil6xkg1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9c9b8a02005af119c0ac384dc0c010ffbac8ad0
Unless you play something like osu the difference is pretty minimal. If you want to go with something that's technically the best then go magnetic, but it's honestly a nonissue either way. If you want to go magnetic something like the fun60 Ultra tmr would be a decent budget pick. It uses tmr switches rather than he, but it can actually use standard mechanical switches, he switches, or tmr switches if you'd like. TMR is also theoretically better than he, but the difference barely matters.
TMR keyboards like the Monsgeek M1V5 TMR, the Fun60 ultra TMR or the Womier sk75 TMR support (many, not all) HE switches as well as standard mechanical switches. So you could equip your gaming keys like WASD with HE and everything else with better sounding and feeling mechanical switches. Beware: Keychrons HE boards are also technically TMR but only support HE switches.
Hello, I had the fun60 ultra tmr and it had connection issues in both Bluetooth and 2.4ghz mode and im thinking of getting a replacement like the m1 v5 tmr. Does the m1 experience this issue also?
i've tried both of these for rhythm games actually. The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro with those ice blue switches has a slightly faster actuation point that might give you an edge in osu for rapid tapping. The Monsgeek FUN60 Ultra has better build quality overall though, with that aluminum case reducing flex during intense sessions. Honestly, for pure speed the hall effect switches on the MCHOSE are hard to beat, but the Monsgeek will feel more premium long-term. I'd lean toward the MCHOSE for your specific use case since it's designed for that competitive gaming edge you're after.
For Keyboard I would either go with a Wooting (60HE V2 is Amazing). It’s just the best overall keyboard at the moment for gaming like CS2 (Software + Hadware). If you want to get a ton of value, FUN 60 ULTRA TMR is from a Hardware spec perspective amazing (Aluminum + 8K polling + TMR (TMR is a better HE)). I wouldn’t get a Logitech keyboard. In regards to mouses the Viper V3 Pro is great but not that much better then your Pro X2 Superlight. Honestly besides maybe your keyboard your setup honestly is already great. Also 8K polling isn’t that necessary. 8K gaming mouses just use a lot of cpu performance and battery. For keyboards it’s better but still not that important. 8K polling in general seems to just have no real life measurable effect to the point where I only would use it on a wired keyboard but not on a mouse even if it has the feature.
