A fantastic performance keyboard
I’ve owned a handful of gaming keyboards before, many of which were stock (HyperX, Razer, Corsair, Higround, Ducky) and a few of them I built. All the keyboards I’ve owned previously were mechanical switch keyboards and I’ve never tested magnetic keyboards until I got my hands on the Polar 65 by Arbiter Studios.
I play FPS titles like Overwatch, and rhythm based games like Osu. I can confidently say that this keyboard has improved my performance on Osu. I was able to beat my high score on a song title I’ve been playing for years on simply because I could adjust the actuation point of select keys (I find that 0.3 works best for me). This has made a drastic improvement in my gameplay.
To adjust these settings, colors and more, simply use the Arbiter web page to make changes. No need to download any software. The keyboard will remember the settings which is a plus.
Aside from performance, this keyboard is one of the best sounding keyboards (stock), and gives a very clean look. I love the weight to this keyboard – it is heavy! But in the best way. You can tell immediately this keyboard is built with quality. I like the additional keycaps that are provided to give the keys a different look.
Overall, fantastic keyboard and one that has easily become my everyday driver. When I’m not gaming with it, I bring it into the office for work because that’s just how much I enjoy typing on it. I’ve already gotten a few compliments on the looks and how the keys sound from a few of my colleagues.
Definitely recommend this keyboard if you’re a competitive gamer, tech enthusiast, or someone who just loves a solid keyboard that is worth the price.

Bright, great sound, hefty, and responsive!
Wow! The weight of this thing is shocking to everyone who tries to pick it up off my desk at work. Its not that bad, but for an office full of people used to the keyboard that comes with office mini PCs, its hefty. Heavy enough that it isn’t going anywhere (unless your station is going with it) but not so bad that it’s a burden to transport when necessary.
It was well packed, the extra keys were a welcome but unexpected addition, and I thought the “Magnetic” on the inside of the lid was a nice nod to the switches.
The double shot keys are solid with crisp, clean legends, in a colorway that I think suits my setup.
LEDs are bright with a wide variety of settings (I wish I could invert one of them, but its ok) being adjustable(speed and brightness) helps to keep the flashier settings tastefully muted (at least in the office setting).
Having the ability to change the switch sensitivity helps a lot too (setting for typing is just a bit slow for this reaction based games, but a but to quick for typing) saves me from getting a feel for two boards.
Finally the layout was my only hang up when buying, I wasn’t sure if it would suit me. After a week on it, I don’t notice anymore. If anything it made me realize how much I’d missed a dedicated arrow cluster.
On the whole, I’m thrilled with it (in case that wasn’t clear).
Edit to add: I can’t believe I failed to notice this before. The LED intensity responds to the depth of the keypress. The deeper the keypress, the brighter the LED gets! I noticed it while typing a report late one night and trying to be quiet at home.

100% Recommend
Pros:
Characters are on top of keys making it easier to see. (Sometimes I lose track which number key I’m on)
Compact, making space for games like Val, Apex etc.
Sounds clean and has a clean design
Nice height so you don’t need a wrist rest
Cons:
Not a whole lot of color options/themes currently.
Instructions don’t list the webapp to customize the keyboard
App for keyboard is not standalone meaning you need a browser
Overall it’s more than good it’s great.

High end Buttery Smooth HALL effect keyboard on a budget
Conclusion: Newest fast response HALL Switches, customizable keystrokes, buttery smooth feel, high end keycaps and a solid build makes this a high end Gamer keyboard for for a budget price.
If you are into keyboards, you will Love this Polar 65. I enjoying finding that GEM that is not yet main stream, that cost a little less, but can outshine the top brands. The Polar 65 is not their newest offering, but I can’t imagine improving on this by much. I even pre-ordered some additional switches assuming I would need them, but the default Fuji switches are buttery smooth. I will try the FOX and Fuji duel rail, but these default switches have very little wobble to them. While gaming, I tend to get excited and can push a key hard in the midst of battle but the bottom out feel is nice and the resistance feels correct for gaming.
For TYPING, I prefer a Brown switch or a bit of a tactical feel as well as a TKL format. For work, this keyboard is not my preference but for GAMING, which I purchased the Polar 65 for, it hits that amazing sweet spot for me. Being able to customize the WASD keys to be slightly more responsive is a nice touch.
The KEYCAPS are some of the best that I have owned. They have a unique feel, smooth but grippy. Almost like a micro texture. If it were me, i would name the keycaps “Spider Hair Grip” soft to the feel but grippy. Maybe this is what it feels like to shake hands with Spider Man. LOL
I am also amazed at how quiet this keyboard is. I game at night while the family is sleeping and now I do not get complaints about waking them up. I have owned some “quiet” keyboards with lots of layers, 5 or more, but non of them is as quiet and solid feeling as this Polar 65. I was looking for an all aluminum case keyboard but now understand why they use both aluminum and heavy poly. The durable and stiff aluminum controls the heavy punches while the deep poly with two heavy silicone layers dampen the high pitches.
Having now used the Polar 65, I need to purchase their other models and see how they compare. I didn’t think I was going to get that deep into the keyboard hobby, but now that I have tried a top end keyboard, I am into the rabbit hole. What has Arbiter done to me.
P.S. I am not a prof reviewer, just a new fan of this keyboard.
