If you’re into gaming, typing, or just love tech gadgets, the MonsGeek FUN60 lineup is something you should know about. Among its wired, wireless, and ultra versions, the MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra stands out—and it’s the one I’ve been using. Spoiler alert: it’s pretty awesome.
What’s the Big Deal with the FUN60 Ultra?
The star of the show here is the TMR sensor (Tunnel Magneto-Resistance). If that sounds like tech jargon, don’t worry—it’s just a fancy way of saying this keyboard is really precise. Compared to the older Hall Effect sensors, TMR sensors are a step up in a few key ways:
- It’s Super Sensitive: Like, 1,000 times more sensitive than Hall Effect sensors. This means you can adjust the actuation point (when the key registers a press) down to 0.01 mm. For gamers, that’s a game-changer—literally.
- It Sips Power: If you’re using the wireless version, this is huge. TMR sensors use less power, so your battery lasts longer. No more mid-game panic when your keyboard dies.
- It’s Consistent and Reliable: Whether you’re gaming for hours or working in a warm room, the TMR sensor stays accurate. It can handle temperatures up to 200°C, which is way hotter than your average keyboard will ever face.
- It’s Compact: The smaller size of TMR sensors means they fit neatly into the keyboard’s design, keeping things sleek and efficient.
Now, I’m not saying TMR sensors are the ultimate upgrade over Hall Effect sensors—they’re more of a gradual improvement. But they’re definitely promising, and the FUN60 Ultra makes great use of them.
Gaming Performance: Fast and Smooth
I tested this keyboard in CS2 and The Finals, and it didn’t disappoint. In wired mode, it felt just as fast and responsive as the Wooting 60HE, which is often considered the gold standard for gaming keyboards. If you’re into FPS games, the FUN60 Ultra will keep up with your quick reflexes. And for typing? It’s solid, though the 60% layout might take some getting used to if you’re not familiar with it.
The web app is another highlight. It lets you tweak settings like rapid trigger and adjustable actuation points, so you can fine-tune the keyboard to your liking. Whether you’re gaming or working, the FUN60 Ultra adapts to your needs.
Features That Make It Stand Out
Here’s a quick rundown of what makes this keyboard special:
- Snap Key (SOCD): Perfect for FPS games, it prioritizes the latest keypress for smoother control.
- Adjustable Actuation Distance: You can set it anywhere from 0.1mm to 3.4mm, thanks to the TMR sensor’s precision.
- Rapid Trigger (RT): Customize when a key activates and deactivates for lightning-fast responses.
- Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS): One key can do up to four different things depending on how hard you press it.
- Toggle Key (TGL): Turns a key into a toggle switch, so you can hold it down for continuous action or tap it rapidly.
- Mod-Tap: Lets one key do two things—press it quickly for one function, hold it for another.
Switch Options and Sound
The FUN60 Ultra works with a variety of magnetic switches, including Akko Glare, Gateron Jade, and TTC King. I tried it with the Akko Glare switches, and they sound great—crisp and satisfying, with a closed-bottom design that enhances the acoustics. Whether you’re gaming or typing, the keyboard feels premium and responsive.
The Best Part? It’s Affordable.
Here’s the kicker: the FUN60 Ultra costs half as much as the Wooting 60HE, but it delivers similar performance and features. For the price, it’s an incredible deal. You get cutting-edge tech, solid build quality, and a ton of customization options—all without breaking the bank.
