IGN(Written Review):-
IGN is one of the largest tech websites in the world. Chris Love has shared his review of the LUMINKEY Magger 68 HE on the IGN website and titled it “Switching to Hall Effect to Great Effect” referring to the Hall Effect magnetic switches. Chris describes the keyboard as, “The Magger 68 HE isn’t Luminkey’s first keyboard, but it's the company’s first one with Hall Effect switches. It uses a compact 65% layout, which means that it doesn’t have a function row or a number pad, but does have arrow keys and a column of navigation and editing buttons on the side. The function row and several of its missing keys are available as secondary functions. It may be less convenient if you use the function row often but it provides a good balance between a compact design that’s perfect for gaming”. He then goes on to appreciate the design, build quality, and pleasure of using the Hall effect magnetic switches on the Magger 68 HE. Chris simply loved the LUMINKEY Magger 68 HE Pro, he states, “The Luminkey Magger 68 HE Pro is my favorite magnetic switch keyboard of the year so far. That’s not because its functionality is so radically different than any other, but rather because it’s just a much better feeling keyboard to actually use and is all-around one of the best built in its form factor to date.”
In his review, he has explained different aspects of the keyboard beautifully. He has described the features such as Rapid Trigger to be very efficient on the keyboard. We liked reading through his review, and we recommend you also read his review and understand his opinion on the LUMINKEY Magger 68 HE as well. His review can be found on IGN Website here.
Eurogamer(Written Review):-
“The Luminkey Magger 68 HE is a weirdly named but wickedly good gaming keyboard, offering up-to-date magnetic switches ideal for FPS gaming, solid metal construction and a great typing feel. Like other boutique options, this essentially gives you a top-end custom keyboard in multiple colour options, but pre-assembled and at a fairly reasonable price.
It certainly feels like no expense has been spared in terms of build quality, with an anodised aluminium case in a sandwich design, silicone sound dampening, high-quality PBT keycaps including a handful of translucent arrow keys, and hot-swappable Hall Effect (HE) magnetic switches mounted into an aluminium plate.” And this is how Eurogamer describes the Luminkey Magger 68 HE. The author here mentioned the keyboard to be a powerful performer for gaming with a maximum 8000Hz polling rate. You can read this review on the Eurogamer website here.

Soumyakanti is a tech reviewer on the Gizmochina website. He has shared a to-the-point simple review for the Luminkey Magger 68 He. He seems quite impressed with the keyboard, we would like to state his own words here, “The Luminkey Magger 68 HE is a capable keyboard for both casual and serious users. Its sturdy build, compact design, and magnetic switches make it ideal for gamers looking for a more customizable typing experience. While the software could use some polish, this is a minor setback in an otherwise solid product.
Priced at $119 for the Performance version, the Magger 68 HE offers a great balance of features and build quality without unnecessary extras. It’s a practical choice for those who want a keyboard that performs well and looks good, without breaking the bank. For anyone looking to explore magnetic switch technology in a compact layout, this keyboard delivers on its promises without too much compromise.” We recommend you check out his complete review on the Gizmochina website here.
