VALKYRIE VK MAG75 HE vs VK75Magnetic Speed vs Gasket Comfort

The VK MAG75 HE is better for gaming. It uses Hall Effect magnetic switches with adjustable actuation (0.1mm to 3.5mm) and a rapid trigger function. It also supports an 8K polling rate with a 0.125ms response time, which provides a tangible advantage for competitive play that the VK75 cannot match.

Yes, the VK75 supports full-key hot-swappable sockets as stated by the vendor. This allows you to change the mechanical switches without soldering. However, it is only compatible with standard 3 or 5-pin mechanical switches, not the magnetic switches used in the VK MAG75 HE.

The VALKYRIE VK75 features a large 8,000mAh internal battery. The vendor claims this provides long-lasting battery life, even when the RGB backlighting is turned on. This is one of the key advantages of the VK75 over the wired-only VK MAG75 HE.

The VK MAG75 HE uses new-generation Hall Effect magnetic switches. The base model employs custom-developed magnetic switches, while the Pro model features Gateron Jade Magnetic Switches. These switches allow for adjustable trigger points and features like rapid trigger.

No, the VK MAG75 HE is a wired-only keyboard according to its specifications. It connects to your computer via a cable. In contrast, the VK75 supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, which is a major difference between the two models.

The VK75 is likely to have a better typing feel for most users. It features a leaf-spring gasket mount structure and multi-layered sound-absorbing padding, which creates a softer and quieter typing experience. The VK MAG75 HE relies on a more traditional rigid mount, which can feel harsher.

Yes, both keyboards use standard MX-style stems, meaning you can swap the keycaps. They both come with PBT keycaps from the factory, with the VK MAG75 HE Pro version offering five-sided thermal sublimation with a pearlescent finish. Standard keycap compatibility is a shared feature.

The hot-swappable knob on the VK75 functions as a volume control. Turning it clockwise increases volume, counterclockwise decreases it, and pressing it mutes the audio. The vendor also notes it can be removed and replaced with an 'Ins' key if desired.

The VK75 is more portable. While both are 75% keyboards, the VK75 supports wireless connectivity, which means you can use it without a cable connected to a device. Its large 8,000mAh battery also allows for extended use away from a power source, which is a significant advantage for travel.

No, the VK75 uses standard mechanical switches, which have a fixed actuation point. Adjustable actuation is a feature exclusive to Hall Effect magnetic switches, which are only found on the VK MAG75 HE. The VK MAG75 HE allows adjustment from 0.1mm to 3.5mm via software.

The VK75 offers three-mode connectivity, including wired USB-C, wireless 2.4 GHz, and Bluetooth. The Bluetooth mode can support up to three different devices simultaneously, with switching done via Fn+W/E/R keys. This makes it more versatile for multi-device setups.
