Review: Luminkey’s Magger68 Pro HE is a fantastic enthusiast keyboard that won’t break your bank

Image showing a mechanical keyboard on a desk.

One of the biggest issues I often run into with Hall effect gaming keyboards is that they typically fall short when it comes to typing experience outside of gaming. The few that do get it right – or at least come close – like the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE, usually cost over $300. As someone who enjoys building and tweaking mechanical keyboards as a hobby, I found myself constantly switching between standard mechanical keyboards for typing and Hall effect models for gaming. That changed when I got my hands on the Luminkey Magger68 Pro HE. Built by a brand known for offering a wide range of layouts and catering to enthusiasts with “high-end” custom boards, the Magger68 strikes that rare balance, at least for me. It’s not only great for typing but also includes all the key magnetic keyboard features like customizable actuation points. I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for both work and gaming over the past few weeks, and in this review, I’ll break down whether it’s worth considering for your setup.
