Endgame Gear KB65HE (65%/Hall Effect/Wired USB-C/Adjustable Actuation + Rapid Trigger/1000Hz Polling) Review
Endgame Gear KB65HE 65% Hall effect gaming keyboard, adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, wired USB-C, compact esports layout.
Endgame Gear, better known for competitive-grade mice, applies the same no-frills, performance-first philosophy to the KB65HE, a compact 65% Hall effect board with adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger tuned for FPS play. It skips wireless and hot-swap in favor of keeping latency and cost focused on the actuation tech itself.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Wooting 60HE+, the KB65HE offers a slightly larger 65% layout with a dedicated arrow cluster that the 60HE+'s stricter 60% footprint omits, while both share adjustable actuation and rapid trigger. Compared with the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, the KB65HE is the more compact, esports-focused option, trading the OLED display and hot-swap socket for a tighter footprint.
