Epilogue
Raijintek may be new to the keyboard game, but the MGA-68 proves it’s not here to play safe. This is a bold and competent first effort that doesn’t compromise on build quality, performance, or style. It’s a keyboard that speaks to both enthusiasts seeking control and customization, and gamers looking for raw speed and smooth actuation.
While a few minor improvements could be made, such as a longer cable, a matching wrist rest, and a lower price. These are small details in the grand scheme. What matters is that Raijintek has arrived in the keyboard market with a product that challenges the norms and raises expectations.
At a retail price of €135–€160, the MGA-68 isn’t affordable. Still, it competes directly with keyboards from more established brands, and in some cases, outperforms them, especially in switch technology and polling rate.
If this is Raijintek’s opening act, the future of its peripherals lineup could be very bright indeed.
