Something to be aware of when using this and other 65% keyboards with macOS is that the tilde and Esc share a key.

That swaps the Cmd and Alt keys around to match the standard Mac configuration.Īfter that, I used the keycap puller included with the Magicforce to swap the keycaps to match the new mappings. Here’s what that looks like in the karabiner.json file. The target device is “USB Gaming Keyboard (HOLDCHIP)”.

The first thing I did was remap the keys for macOS using Karabiner Elements.

It showed up a couple hours ago, and this post is its first test. I’ve been missing that mechanical feel, of late, so when this keyboard with respected switches dipped to US$55, I went for it. In the intervening years, MacBook and Apple wireless keyboards have been my go-to input devices. Once upon a time, my Northgate OmniKey Ultra was a reliable companion (wish I still had it). A few days ago, a 20% off sale on the Magicforce prompted the purchase of my first mechanical keyboard in years. After reading “ Why I Love Compact Mechanical Keyboards and You Will Too” over at The Wirecutter, I stuck the Magicforce 68 with Gateron Brown switches in my save for later list on Amazon.
