“I’ve owned at least two inductive keyboards, each costing more than twice the price of the Magcore65, but none of them sound or feel as good, so I’m sticking with this one.”
Keychron V6

“Great keyboard. Love using it. Two quibbles: Logo is backwards on Windows key Wish Caps Lock lit up—the LED underneath isn’t enough to indicate when Caps Lock is engaged.”
“I have never used a keyboard where every time you just as much barely graze a key' it registers. This is horrible, you pretty much have to perfectly press the keys dead center, otherwise, it will press surrounding keys as well.”
