Drunkdeer

DrunkDeer builds Hall-effect gaming keyboards and nothing else. Both of its switches are Hall-effect magnetics, and the eight keyboards are all hot-swap, covering 60%, 65% and 75%.

The brand competes on price against Wooting at the top of the analogue market, and the numbers show where it lands: priced boards run $89 to $159. Its switches have the lightest average actuation force of any brand here at 33 gf — on a magnetic board that is the spring rather than the trigger point, since actuation is set in software, but it does mean a very light key to hold. Seven of the eight boards have RGB, none runs QMK or VIA.
