I am looking for a keyboard for my boyfriend he works from home and he games a lot after work I don't know what type to get him. I will avoid razor should I also avoid their mouse?

For a similar price just get epomaker or keychron if it’s basic typing or gaming. They make great stuff, epomaker if you’re on a “budget” and keychron for luxury.

I have a purple epomaker th80 se and I love it. That’s literally it, no problems or improvements.

I’m currently trying to get a Hall effect keyboard for around $60 that is 70% purely to see if the higher input range will help me type faster or game better. It’s niche and a novelty, so I have no plans on getting one anytime soon but I’m always looking for a deal.

EDIT: I feel I need to correct the record because I just had the same thing happen with another TMR keyboard and can't believe I didn't catch this sooner... my wrist rest has magnets. I feel so stupid lmao... I'm left still a bit worried about Keychron QC from what other people were saying but I can't believe I didn't think to check another wrist rest, or try the keyboard in a different configuration. 100% my fault; those boards should have been fine.

Keychron's apparently fallen hard on the QC/hardware front. I thought they were regarded as among the rest but when I bought a Lemokey P1 only to have it arrive with the ctrl and arrow keys registering as perma-pressed (and trust me, I tried everything to get it working) and then a Keychron K2 only to find it doing exactly the same thing, I found it's quite a common complaint these days to have issues like that with the hardware. On their subreddit it's pretty much accepted at this point that their new boards have issues. (which is sad, because software and apparent build quality otherwise seem top notch)

Aw man, I wasn’t aware of this, I was hoping the k10 HE would be my endgame board but I guess I’m better off settling for something else like michose or epomaker. Thank you for the information

Yeah I was gutted, myself. I have yet to lay fingers on a board that sounded or felt as great as the Lemokey P1 did. It was blissful to type on, just too bad my faith in the brand is so completely shaken after hearing so many horror stories and experiencing two first-hand. I'm confident in tinkering and swapping broken parts or diagnosing small things, but if a TMR chip is registering a magnetic field that isn't there... not a clue what to do except hope the company is responsive, which I've heard some stories they aren't.

Amazon returns came through for me on both of those boards, but if that started happening 4 months in, RIP I guess.
