Pros and Trade-offs

If you want the flexibility to swap magnetic switches and prefer a sturdier all-metal feel, the Ace 60 HE is the clear choice. If you plan to keep the keyboard mostly stock and want to save weight and money, the ACE 60 PRO delivers the same core performance in a lighter, more affordable package. Both are excellent Hall Effect keyboards for competitive gaming.

  • +Includes a dust cover in the package for protection when not in use.
  • −The all-aluminum construction makes it heavier than the ACE 60 PRO.
  • −Pricing can be higher than the ACE 60 PRO depending on the vendor and configuration.

  • +Includes a dust cover in the package for protection.
  • −Case and plate use a mix of aluminum and plastic, which may feel less premium.

  • −North-facing RGB LEDs may cause interference with certain thicker keycap profiles like OEM or SA.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The Ace 60 HE takes the lead in gaming and modding due to its hot-swappable switches and more premium all-aluminum case. For travel, the lighter plastic construction of the ACE 60 PRO gives it an edge. In office, programming, and content creation use cases, the two are effectively tied because their core layout, keycap material, and magnetic switch technology are identical. The choice for non-gaming tasks will likely depend on whether you prioritize a sturdier build or a lighter, more affordable keyboard.
