Hall effect keyboards are officially having a moment, and in this video I break down five options you can actually buy without defaulting to Wooting. Don’t get me wrong—Wooting is great—but it’s also the obvious pick, and I know a lot of you want something more affordable (or just something different). So I put together a list of HE boards worth checking out, and yeah… none of them sponsored me, sadly. I focus on what matters for gaming and fast typing: magnetic (hall effect) switches, adjustable actuation, and the overall “is this worth your money” vibe—especially if you’re in SEA where pricing and availability can be annoying. I also point you to the exact links I used (Amazon for most of the world, Lazada/Shopee for SEA), because I know people will ask. If you’re trying to build a clean desk setup with a competitive keyboard feel—without paying Wooting money—this is basically my shortlist to start with.
