FUN60 Ultra TMR/HE

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

Attack Shark has been fraudulently advertising their proprietary firmware as QMK so I wouldn't trust them. If you want a magnetic board the Monsgeek TMR boards have more sensitive sensors than the typical HE ones. That would be the M1 v5 TMR and Fun60 Ultra TMR. If you want conventional switches, QMK firmware is best-in-class, and the VIA and VIAL configurators are less restrictive than any proprietary drivers. I have a list of VIA-compatible boars on my [Github](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/blob/main/via-boards.md)...

Well 2 months ago I did, but I have seen some complaints since about the magnetic board software from Monsgeek. I don't recall the details, but I would do some research and see if there are any blockers. The Monsgeek hardware itself is solid as a rock.

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.

Just adding onto this comment, that wooting/razer are not the only analog kb manufacturers. I got my TMR (better than Hall Effect) keyboard for $55 last month with a discount (Fun60 Ultra TMR). I got mine in Asia so it was extra cheap, but even right now on their US website, they are running a promotion for the wired model (wireless analog is kind of unnecessary) for $65 or $70 (with wireless/wired/bluetooth).
