Iqunix has officially launched its highly anticipated EZ75 gaming keyboard, a premium 75% layout device featuring advanced Hall-effect switch technology. Teased earlier this year, the EZ75 merges the compact design of the EZ63 with a more functional 75% layout, offering an enhanced navigation cluster and a full function row, including a dedicated F13 ‘Delete’ key. This new keyboard aims to deliver a superior gaming experience with its innovative features and premium build quality.

- Hall-Effect Switches: Features Iqunix’s Magnetic X Ultra switches (36-48 gf actuation force) for lightweight, stable performance, with compatibility for other common HE switches.
- High-Performance Gaming: Boasts 8 kHz polling and a 16 kHz PCB scan rate for a claimed 0.18 ms latency and ultra-sensitive actuation up to 0.005 mm.
- Premium Construction: Built with an aluminum case, CNC-cut aluminum plate, and rubber gasket mount for durability and a refined feel.
- Included Accessories: Comes with a carrying case, keycap and switch puller, paracord USB cable, and a cleaning brush.
Enhanced Layout and Design
The EZ75 builds upon the design principles of its predecessor, the EZ63, while adopting the more practical 75% keyboard layout. This layout provides users with a compact footprint without sacrificing essential keys. It includes a dedicated navigation column for easier access to functions like Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down, alongside a complete F-row. Notably, the F-row is extended to include an F13 key, labeled as ‘Delete’, offering additional customization options for gamers and power users.
Advanced Hall-Effect Technology
At the heart of the EZ75 are Iqunix’s proprietary Magnetic X Ultra switches. These Hall-effect switches are designed for a lightweight actuation force, ranging from 36 to 48 gf, ensuring rapid response times crucial for competitive gaming. The switches also feature a box stem design, which enhances stability and reduces wobble. While the EZ75 comes equipped with these switches, it is also compatible with other popular Hall-effect switches, such as the Gateron Magnetic Jade Gaming, Jade Pro, and Geon Raw, allowing users to personalize their typing and gaming experience.
Premium Build and Gaming Performance
The keyboard features a robust aluminum case, mirroring the construction of the EZ63, complete with bolt-on side rails for added rigidity. It also incorporates a CNC-cut aluminum plate and a rubber gasket mount system, contributing to a premium feel and improved acoustics. For gaming enthusiasts, the EZ75 offers impressive performance specifications, including an 8 kHz polling rate and a 16 kHz PCB scan rate, resulting in a claimed latency of just 0.18 ms. The Hall-effect technology allows for an exceptionally sensitive actuation distance of up to 0.005 mm with the X Ultra switches.
The EZ75 is finished with durable black and gray double-shot PBT keycaps, featuring clean, white legends. The package also includes a comprehensive accessory kit, which contains a protective carrying case, a tool for removing keycaps and switches, a high-quality paracord USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and a cleaning brush, ensuring users have everything they need right out of the box.
The Iqunix EZ75 is available for purchase through the Iqunix web store, priced at $259.
