00:00Hey, it's Adrian and if you want that competitive gaming edge, you should definitely check out the

00:06LumenKey MAGR68 Magnetic Keyboard, which uses Gateron Pro magnetic switches instead of traditional

00:12mechanical switches allowing you to set key press actuation points to as low as 0.1mm to 3.4mm.

00:19There's a bunch of gaming settings like DKS, MT, TGL, RS, SOCD to really fine tune and optimize

00:25your gameplay and there's also up to 8K polling rates and as low as 0.125ms of latency along

00:31with north facing RGB, PDT keycaps all housed in a premium anodized aluminum casing.

00:37So let's take a closer look to see if the MAGR68 HE keyboard could be your very next gaming

00:42keyboard and a big thanks to MechLens for sending this out for review.

00:47In the box we have the LumenKey MAGR keyboard along with a USB Type A to Type C braided cable,

00:52extra replacement switch, a keyboard shortcut list and a keycap and switch puller and this

00:57is what the LumenKey MAGR68 Magnetic Keyboard looks like and it just feels so premium and

01:03nice in the hand and it actually looks so nice in person as well.

01:06Now it comes in two other colors, there's a champagne gold version and an E milky white

01:11but I think this looks much better than those, let me know what you guys think down below.

01:14There's a performance version which is what I have and there's also a pro version.

01:18Now the performance version comes with Gateron white magnetic pro switches while the pro version

01:24comes with the Gateron magnetic J pro switches. Now the pro version is going to be a little bit

01:29heavier but the performance version is still very heavy itself so this comes in at around 2.6 pounds

01:35or about 1.2 kilograms. So the MAGR68 keyboard is a 68% layout with 68 keys and there's no other

01:42layout options available. And the color scheme on here looks so beautiful, it's a perfect pairing,

01:48so we have this darker top row here, then this lighter gray and then this very light gray or kind

01:52of off-white color and then we have these type of smoke translucent keycaps in the bottom right

01:57corner and for the escape key and it just ties everything so nicely together. The housing is this

02:03anodized black aluminum and it looks nice and it also feels really cool to the touch as well.

02:08Now in the top right corner we do have the MAGR logo and this is debossed into the casing here.

02:13Now if we take a look at the side we do have a 7% typing angle and if we take a look at the back here

02:20there's no actual you know kind of a feet or adjustment feet to adjust the typing angulation

02:25of the keyboard. We also have the HE debossed again into the case here or this rear plate and then we

02:31also have the lumen key also debossed as well. We have PBT keycaps but they're not shine through,

02:37the only ones where you'll see that are these translucent smoked out ones. And these are what the keycaps

02:42look like. So here's the control key and you can see it's a fairly thick type of PBT keycap and this

02:48is what the smoked or translucent keycap looks like. So very clear and see-through on the side

02:53and then at the very bottom and you know kind of smoked out or this type of matte finish at the top.

02:58And when I run my fingers along the control key I can't actually feel the printed lettering on that

03:03one. However on the smoked or translucent one as I run my fingers I can definitely feel it's a little

03:08bit raised on these ones. And of course we have a hot swappable PCB. The very rear of the keyboard has

03:15a USB type-c port because this is strictly a wired keyboard. It doesn't have any type of wireless or

03:21bluetooth functionality. There's zero flexing or creaking at all as I just kind of you know try to

03:26twist the keyboard or exert any type of pressure. It just feels really well built. And there's nothing

03:32on the right or left sides of the keyboard. Now I'm not going to be taking my keyboard apart but here's

03:37an image just to show you kind of the internal structure. Here's a quick look at the specs.

03:42Feel free to pause and review or jump ahead to the next section. Let's take a look at the LumenKey

03:47HE software. Now important to note is that this is the driver software installed but if you actually

03:53go to this website here you can actually get the same type of you know interface so you can see

03:59performance, advanced features, key remapping, RGB. I'm just going to prioritize the downloaded

04:04software for now. Now at the very top right you have the debounce. You can set that from high,

04:08medium to low and then pulling rate is 8k but you can also lower that as well down to a thousand hertz.

04:14Now we do have different layers here so the function layer, function layer one, two, three.

04:19Now you can see if I hold down function you know showing those shortcut keys there and of course you

04:24can go ahead and modify that. Now if you type or click on Windows layout you can switch to different

04:30layouts. I'm going to leave it on Windows. I'm on there. You can also reset everything, export profiles

04:35just like so and you can also import profiles as well. Now at the very bottom you know this is showing

04:40a full keyboard kind of but we're on a 68 layout but you can go through under multimedia, you know,

04:47special, function, lighting, macro, mouse and you know just remap whatever you need to if that's

04:55important to you. But let's go into performance. Now you see here you can actually select keys

05:01individually or you can just select everything at all or just do like an inverse selection so you

05:06have a bunch of things there. Now real important before we get into it I want to look at recalibrate.

05:11You may see a message at the top here that says keys are not calibrated or something to that effect

05:16and you need to recalibrate. So to do that you would go into the performance tab, hit recalibrate

05:22and right now everything's recalibrated that's why it's showing in green but for example say backspace

05:27wasn't you may see it looking like this or you know it may be yellow just go ahead and press it

05:32until it's green hit stop calibration and that should take care of the calibration but let's move on.

05:39So under performance say I wanted to do the A key right here I would hit three and I could see the

05:46actuation is set to three millimeters right now but I could lower that to as low as 0.1 of a millimeter.

05:54Now I do have notepad up here and for example if I press A very lightly you can see that's already

06:03actuating I'm nowhere close to bottoming out this key and then if I just crank the actuation up to 3.4

06:10millimeters then I do have to press you can see my finger has to go all the way down now to actuate that key

06:16sometimes when you're a bit excited you may press down by mistake so you may want to increase the

06:22actuation or increase the top and bottom dead zones you have all of those options and of course we do

06:28have options for rapid trigger and then bottoming optimizations you can read the instructions if you

06:35want for that you have this excessive mode now it says this is not covered under warranty and that's

06:41if you want to go to values even smaller than 0.1 probably not something needed and you also have

06:47this option for tachyon mode and also separate press and release sensitivity full stroke quick trigger

06:53you can see there's really a ton of options on here it doesn't matter if you unplug the keyboard you

06:59know turn your computer off it is retained let's take a look at dks first so if you tap on that it shows

07:05you can have up to four functions with a single key so in fps games i'll generally use control to jump

07:12so i'll start with control hit continue and you can see it has two down arrows and two up arrows so these

07:18are your downward presses and then your release actuation points so i'll just clear all of that

07:24now i can say from one to three millimeters of actuation i want this to perform how it normally does

07:31which is for me to jump but then when i release i want to actually crouch just as an example so i'll

07:40say from one to three i want to crouch and then once i let go again i'll jump again for example

07:49let's just say so i don't really need the fourth action i usually don't get that complicated but you

07:55can see so far this is the progression so if i lightly press on control that would be me jumping if i

08:01press lower that's me crouching and then once i let go i'll jump again right versus traditionally

08:09say you have two keys uh this one key binded once you let go you wouldn't really do anything right

08:14but once i let go here the last one is going to be me jumping again so you know i'm jumping maybe

08:20someone's shooting at me i'm just going to immediately crouch and then i'll jump back up and shoot them so

08:25that's how that would work now let's go under mt so a single key will achieve two functions hold it

08:33for one click it for another so say i'm playing a game and um i'll just click v for example and say

08:41v is my inventory sampling an rpg or something so when i click i want to click to be v and i want hold

08:50to be uh let's say m m for maybe menu for example and then when i test that binding i could see it here

08:56so a hold will be m which is going to pull up the menu but if i just press it once it's just going to

09:04pull up my inventory right so you have some uh versatility there with having the key and what that

09:10saves you is you know a lot of time you're no longer stretching your finger over with just a quick

09:15press or a hold you're accessing two different functions now if we go under tgl so it says click

09:21the button to switch on or off continuous or you know uh kind of like a rapid type of trigger deal

09:27so let's say we pick n for this one so i drag and click n there click continue so now i'll just say

09:36whenever i press and i want it to continuously trigger so you're gonna see if i press n it's just

09:43showing n it's actually spamming and let me just prove it to you so i'll press it again to stop you

09:48could see it went away let's open up notepad i'll hit n and you could see it's just spamming and

09:54continuously hit it again to stop so depending on some games where you need to have you know like

09:59rapid inputs repeatedly like quick time events you could just do something like that let's take a look

10:05at rs so it says select two keys and press the button further away in the process of triggering

10:12when both keys are pressed completely both keys will be triggered so let's just say for key one

10:18we'll pick r key 2 t hit continue and then the actuation point i'll just leave it on this default

10:251.5 so it says it monitors uh the two selected keys and activates whichever key is pressed down further

10:32or kind of hardest let's just say so if i hit save you could see if i press r

10:38r and then i press t t is first in the order so t takes priority conversely if i press t first

10:48press r down all the way r takes party so for example say you're using w asd uh you know you're

10:55moving you keep moving and then you want to just crouch automatically because someone's going to shoot at

11:01you while you're pressing w you could just hit c and c is going to take priority so that's how you

11:07would use that feature hope that makes sense lastly let's look at socd so refers how to handle opposite

11:14direction while triggering input so this is more for navigation like so it's showing press the way if

11:21you press the right and left buttons at the same time it'll determine which input is triggered

11:26so for example let's just say key one is uh forward key two backwards hit continue and i'll leave the

11:35actuation point where it is so you can set this to last input party um you can just make one key take

11:42party so either the up key or down key or leave it to neutral which i mean i guess that would kind of be

11:47like not even having having it but let's do last input party so say for example i'm playing an fps game

11:53and i'm just moving forward all the time i'm just walking forward running forward and then i see

11:58something suspicious and then i just press back right away um back will take priority over keeping

12:05moving forward so that's what that means in terms of last input party and of course you could just say

12:10you know absolute priority uh either the up key or down key and that's how you would use that feature

12:16of course you can also record macros and once you record the macro you can just go into the remap here you

12:22know pick a certain key jump into macro and assign whichever macro you recorded from one to ten and

12:29then we have the light options here so you could see kind of in real time like say i went into static

12:35you know it's a static color and then i could just pick you know green say yellow blue and you could see

12:42that all happening in real time you can also change the brightness of that and you know set up any type of

12:48custom settings some of these do have like speeds and directions as well and then lastly you can go

12:53into config these are the available languages and you can have it you know automatically run the driver

13:00software when you start but like i showed it does retain the settings it's not like really necessary

13:04unless you're constantly changing things and i am on the newest firmware version now one thing to note

13:10is i wasn't able to really update it via the driver software to 1.16 i did have to use um like the

13:18website so when you go here you go to connect the device so if you run into the same problem just jump

13:23on the site go down and then update it here so yeah it looks like we have you know kind of two options to

13:29to manage that but yeah that's uh about it for the driver software all right let's have some of those

13:35key settings in game so remember with control this is what i use for jump now if i just go ahead and

13:41i'm jumping but if i hold it down notice that i'm crouching and when i let go i'm going to jump again

13:47so that was that's three stage dks that i use on there and now let's do v so remember if i just go

13:54ahead and hold it down it's actually going to pull up the scoreboard but if i just tap it you can see

13:59it's pulling up chap on the screen there so that's a two function key now the other thing is uh if i

14:06tap on f you can see it's just automatically firing all the way tap on it to disable that so this is

14:12what you can use for you know kind of rapid trigger or quick time events and it's that simple to just

14:17you know kind of set that up in the software since this is wired only you'll get latency rates as low as

14:220.125 milliseconds of latency along with up to 8k polling rates

14:32in terms of the typing experience it's a pretty good experience overall now everything is done

14:37technically correct on here so the keyboard is nice and planted and you can see as i press and i'm

14:41pressing really hard take a look at my um fingernails here i'm pressing the blood is kind of draining away

14:47and there's no flex there's no gift the keyboard is not shifting in any way it's a very planted and

14:54stable typing experience so when i was typing on this you know i didn't have to press down as much

14:59to get the keys to actuate and if you're someone who actually enjoys typing quite a bit you may feel

15:04you know the typing experience is a little bit lacking but i'm assuming a lot of you guys again are

15:09getting this keyboard or you're looking at this keyboard mostly for the gaming performance with the

15:13magnetic switches so maybe the typing experience isn't at the top of your list but something to

15:18be mindful of the Gateron white magnetic pro switches which i have in this performance version

15:23has a gram force of 30 and the professional version has 36 gram force

15:38so the sound profile is really going to come down to personal preference i'm coming from a docky

15:46sounding keyboard and it's just what i've been in the mood for recently i'm really liking that type

15:51of profile so when i was typing with the mager 68 it did sound you know a little bit more on the harsh

15:56end at least on my ears just because i'm going through that kind of phase but you know for you it's

16:01probably not going to be an issue and if you're gaming you know you're already you know clicking with your

16:06mouse you may want to hear those like key presses actually registering or clicking down so it's

16:11probably not that big of a deal for you but let me know what you guys think of the sound down below

16:15so we have north facing rgb and i've cut the lights and you can see what the rgb looks like

16:20so there's no shine through keycaps except for these arrow keys and then the escape key here and this

16:25is as bright as it gets so function g just increases the brightness and then function f lowers the

16:32brightness and of course you can turn it off completely if you like now if you don't want

16:36any type of backlight you could just hit function t very quickly to turn it off or on function y just

16:42cycles through various rgb effects like you can see right here and function u is what you would press

16:48to switch between different type of colors function 8 just slows down the rgb effect and function j

16:56increases the speed and important to note the keyboard actually has dual chips to ensure that the

17:01rgb doesn't affect your gaming performance in any way so the mager 68he magnetic gaming keyboard is

17:08one of the better magnetic keyboards that i've used to date and the software experience is pretty full

17:13featured as well so you can just quickly dial in your keybinds rapid trigger settings custom actuation

17:18points store it all on board on a keyboard and it's ready to go when you are if gaming is your first

17:24priority and you want as much of a gaming edge as you can get this is the keyboard and it really delivers

17:30i'll leave links down below if you're interested in picking up the mager 68he keyboard either in the

17:36performance version like i have here or the professional version and if the mager 68he keyboard

17:42is a little bit out of your budget check out this video next for a more budget friendly option if you
