Air60 HE Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard

not settled on an endgame mouse but nuphy air60he + wrist rest is the best keyboard experience for me

I have a nuphy air 60 HE! I pack it in backpack, it is also quite excellent!

Nuphy Air96 v2 is not HE, but they have some HE boards. I have the Air60 and it's not bad, but I prefer full-height boards. On your Glorious board you could try swapping the switches for some Tecsee half-low-profile switches (and matching stabs), they're regular MX below the plate and LP above the plate. * https://www.amazon.com/Tecsee-Mechanical-Keyboard-Lubricated-Peripheral/dp/B0BZGV48BQ * www.amazon.com/Tecsee-Installation-Translucent-Stabilizers-Mechanical/dp/B0BZCWZB2N

If you want a Hall effect keyboard, the NuPhy Air75 HE and Air60 HE are some of the best bang-for-the-buck options IMO. You should also look into the models u/ArgentStonecutter mentioned.

Honestly, unless you're looking to dump $100+ into a keyboard, HE doesn't make sense. Cheap HE boards are just not it in terms of reliability, build quality, and software experience. The cheapest HE board I can actively recommend is something like a NuPhy Field 75 HE or Air60/75 HE. Keychron's K2 HE or K4 HE are also a steal for what they cost. But it's all preference. Generally speaking, mechanical keyboards still have the upper hand when it comes to sound, and to a degree build quality. But if you're not particular about sound, and you can handle more or less only having linear switch options, HE is fantastic for both work and play.

TMR is supposed to be the best from a technical standpoint, but I don't think anyone can actually notice a difference in accuracy... As for a combination of good features, fast response times, and good build quality, look at NuPhy, Iqunix, and Keychron/Lemokey (there's only one Lemokey keyboard with 8 kHz polling, but that's also marketing wank IMO). The only reason I hesitate to recommend a wooting to anyone is because they can't be used as "daily drivers" by a lot of people because of the lack of onboard macros.

Not really. The NuPhy keyboards will feel a little stiffer compared to the 80HE. Both will require mods to sound truly good. Just different mods. The Iqunix HE boards are pretty solid across the board aside from the software being a little less intuitive and polished. Keychron and Lemokey's wireless HE boards are all limited to 1 kHz polling, but you'll NEVER notice 1 kHz vs 8 kHz in a keyboard. There's one Lemokey board that's 8 kHz. I think the L5 HE (?) but that's also only wired lol. The biggest drawback with Keychron/Lemokey HE boards is that they're only compatible with Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches (and unofficially, the switches that the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE uses). So that's a downside if you wanted to try other switches. But those Gateron switches are decent. The rest (stuff like build quality, keycaps, sound, and feel) all match or surpass Wooting.

for hall effect boards under 150, the [NuPhy Air60 HE](https://featherab.com/shopit?market=am&search_keywords=NuPhy+Air60+HE) is a solid low-profile option that's been getting good reviews for rapid trigger. the wooting 60he+ is a bit above your budget but sometimes you can find a used one. i'd also check out the drunkdeer a75 - it's magnetic switch based and usually under 150. all great for cs2.

couch gaming with 8k wireless is a tough combo. the [NuPhy Air60 HE](https://featherab.com/shopit?market=am&search_keywords=NuPhy+Air60+HE) hits all your marks - 8k polling over 2.4ghz, 60% layout fits lap better than 75%, and it's actually lightweight. tmr is nice but he will give you that rapid trigger for shooters. womier sk75 is great but it's a brick for couch use. i've tried both and the nuphy stays on my lap way easier.
