What if your keyboard could literally respond faster than your fingers? In this video I tested the Royal Kludge C87—an 87-key TKL magnetic (Hall effect) keyboard that’s built for speed and precision. I unbox it, go over what you get in the box (USB-C cable, keycap/switch puller, manual), and share my first impressions on the design. Visually, it’s clean, minimal, and honestly gives that budget-aesthetic setup vibe—especially if you’re into white or neutral desk setups. It’s not “premium premium,” but it also doesn’t feel cheap, and it looks way more expensive than it actually is. The big reason this keyboard stands out is the magnetic switch tech: instead of physical contact, it uses magnetic sensors, so you can customize your actuation point—super light for gaming or deeper for typing. For performance, it feels really fast because you’re not dealing with the usual debounce delay, and features like rapid trigger (in the software) can give you a real advantage in FPS games. I also keep it real about the downsides: typing feels smoother and more linear but less clicky, the software works but isn’t the most polished, and the keycaps are decent—not amazing. My verdict: if you game or you’re curious about magnetic keyboards, this is one of the best budget options right now.
