Hex80 TKL Magnetic Switch Keyboard

Build quality, sound and feel while being HE? Hex80 is an absolutely yes. Extremely good response and firmware reliability/stability? Wooting is better. You have to sacrifice the rest.

Just to chip in, Hex80 was sold at a huge discount a few weeks ago but I'd still get it over the Wooting. Like other people say, only thing Wooting has over the Hex80 is that they have the best software but 90% of people only change basic things like actuation points, activate rapid trigger + SOCD, and low latency mode/tachyon mode which pretty much all HE keyboard software have. Also the stock Wooting 80HE is pretty bad, to make it equivalently good to the Hex80 you need to spend another $169 (excl shipping) on the GT80 aluminium case, buy better switches, and replace the terrible stabilizers which can add up to an extra $100. Even if you buy the Wooting 80HE module instead (which is just the PCB + case they force you to include) which is cheaper, it still costs more to make it on par with the stock Hex80.

Hex 80 gets my vote, just bought one myself.

The best overall package currently is probably the ATK Rs7v2 or the Hex 80. Their web driver has great UI. There are faster boards available, but the web driver isn't as great (VGN Flash 75 Extreme)

Agreed. The Hex 80 feels and sounds amazing.

Get a Hex 80, otherwise, you could get the Wooting 80, and put a nicer case and plate on it such as those offered by KBDfans

Hex 80 all the way

I’m not sure, but the build quality is amazing.

Absolute best is hard to tell. If we are speaking about prebuilt - maybe ATK x QK HEX80. But, I don’t see that much of a difference to overpay 100$ more compared to Weikav K-ONE 80, for example. For sub 150$ it’s a very good board as it is, but customer support is almost nonexistent, if you care about it.

Between the two I’d get the wooting which is a Hall effect keyboard. But there’s a lot of better quality Hall effect keyboards you can get for the price if not cheaper. They’re definitely available in Canada they have a few on Amazon.

Yea I’d definitely get a Hall effect keyboard I use one for cs2 and it gives an advantage when it comes to movement. Everglide su75 pro, Irok mg75 pro/max, chilkey slice 75, monsgeek m1 v5 tmr, mchose jet 75, IPI Aurora 75, ATK Hex 80, Iquinix ez80, and Akko Tac75 HE. These are all good tmr (which is similar to Hall effect but newer tech and some people consider it better) or hall effect keyboards at different prices. You can find videos on youtube about each and do your own research from there, I suggest migss on youtube he does some pretty in depth reviews on keyboards. I’m not 100 percent sure if they all ship to Canada but I would imagine most do. Also stay away from big brands like Razer, Corsair, Logitech etc. They aren’t necessarily bad but the build quality isn’t too good for what you pay for them.

A couple are out of your price range I think but I’d go with the chilkey slice75 he over all or the monsgeek m1 v5 tmr. If you want to spend less for for what will be similar quality I’d go with the everglide su75 pro or irok mg75 pro/max. You can do research on each one’s software which is basically gonna be the main difference. Just lmk if you have anymore questions.
