Keyboards

Mechanical & hall effect keyboards

Hall effect boards with rapid trigger for FPS, plus a few mechanical keyboards if you mostly type. Not sure which one fits? Come try a few at our Markham showroom, or see just the hall effect keyboards.

Hall effect or mechanical?

A mechanical switch fires at one fixed point. A hall effect switch uses a magnet, so you set the actuation point yourself and can turn on rapid trigger. If you play FPS, start there. If you mostly type and care about sound and feel, a good mechanical board is still hard to beat.

Which size should I get?

• 60%: the smallest. No arrow keys or F row, lots of room for your mouse.
• 65%: adds arrow keys. A good middle ground.
• 75%: adds the F row and stays compact.
• 80%: everything except the number pad.
