In this video I reviewed the Epomaker Magcore 87, a premium TKL (88-key) board that’s trying something different: inductive switches instead of Hall effect magnets or normal mechanical. Right away the build is the first thing you notice—this thing is heavy (1.8 kg), full metal, and it feels rock solid with basically zero flex. The aluminum looks super clean with no stickers, but yeah… it’s also a fingerprint magnet. I also go over the unboxing/accessories, keycaps (PBT doubleshots plus the transparent purple accents), and the stabilizers, which looked pre-lubed and pretty stable. Then I get into the inductive tech and why it matters. The PCB generates a magnetic field with a coil, and the switch has a metal piece that disturbs that field as you press—so you get rapid trigger and adjustable actuation without magnets in the switch. I disassembled the board from the back (super easy) to show the internal foam/gasket setup, and I talk modding potential. Sound-wise it’s more clacky than creamy, but the typing feel is honestly a 10/10 for me because the switches are insanely stable—like an elevator, straight up and down. I also walk through the software (minimal, no profiles, no per-key RGB) and my settings: 0.9mm actuation and 0.45 rapid trigger, plus continuous rapid trigger on minimum. Performance specs are top-tier (8K polling, 0.125ms latency, 32K scan rate), but my main complaint is value: $200 is meh, while ~$140 on sale is a really nice buy.
