Epomaker Magforce 68 Keyboard

$159.00

The Magforce 68 Keyboard by Epomaker provides a sleek, minimalist and durable keyboard option that is perfect whether you’re a professional or a gamer. Whilst the keyboard may look like a slightly smaller version of a more traditional and simpler keyboard, the Magforce 68 is nothing but basic as it’s been made with Epomakers innovative switches, casing, and programmability to make it so much more than just your standard keyboard.

Straight from the box, the keyboard comes in a sleek all black design with the bulk of the casing made from CNC aluminium. This gives a lovely weight to the keyboard, making it feel solid and durable. This design is then paired with Epomaker’s Hall Effect magnetic switches across its compact layout. At 65% of a traditional full keyboard, the Magforce 68 has removed the top functions bar, leaving just the essential keys for working or gaming.

These keys have then been combined with the precision and responsiveness of Hall Effect switches to make every experience with the keyboard, whether for work or gaming, a tactile, satisfying and comfortable experience. Thanks to the USB-C wired connection, you get to experience Epomaker’s 8K polling rate for advanced responsiveness, which makes the overall experience top-notch. This pairing makes the keyboard perfect for gaming, especially with its additional Snap Tap function and Dead Zone adjustability to register rapid keystrokes whilst also eliminating unintended inputs so you never hit the wrong button by accident during an intense gaming session.

I’ve used a compact keyboard for a while, so I found the compact size easy to use, but I know the smaller size can take a little getting used to if you’re used to a traditional full layout keyboard. However, one of the big benefits of the Epomaker keyboard is that each one is designed for you to put your own personal touch on it. For this, you can program your keyboard to include shortcuts that work for you for an even more personalised user experience. Plus, under each key cap are RGB LEDs, which you can customise to your set-up or mood, to pair long working hours or late-night gaming sessions with your own personalised colourful glow.

Overall, the Magforce 68 Keyboard reminds me why Epomaker is such a great brand in the keyboard market, as the keyboard delivers its top spec functionality, supported by a responsive, durable and sleek keyboard. If you’re on the hunt for a great keyboard that will save space and streamline your work or game set-up without compromising on functionality, the Magforce 68 is worth the investment.

Pros:

• Durable CDC aluminium casing for robust feel and heat dissipation for optimal performance
• Customisable with programming and RGB lighting to suit your needs and aesthetics
• Top spec hall switches supported by technology to enhance responsiveness and deliver accurate keystrokes every time

Cons:

• The keyboard is a wired connection, so may not be ideal for those seeking a wireless connection
• The heavy weight design makes it not very portable, so it is not ideal for use on the go and might be better for a static work or gaming configuration
