Title: MagicForce 68: Is it worth it?
Post by: Chris_N64 on Sat, 27 August 2016, 21:39:03

Hey all! I was hoping for some experienced opinions. I'm looking at getting my second keyboard, 65% looks perfect, going smaller then my razer widow. (can't live without my arrow keys though) Has anyone had any experience with MagicForce 68's? I noticed there's one on amazon with cherry MX browns, at $70 I'm kinda hesitant since it seems too cheap but at the same time, it might be the perfect way to try out MX Browns

Cheers!

LiquidEvilGaming has made a video review of the keyboard, and there's some discussion in the thread that might be worth checking out.

The backlit models have a weird glitch with forced refresh and both backlit and non-backlit have rather noisy spacebars due to cheap stabilizers.

Other than that, they are quite well made, I use mine daily.
