Club Benefits
Mechanical keyboards can get loud. Really loud. Loud to the point that your coworkers ask you to turn it down. Mechanical keyboards can be really quiet too, to the point that your coworkers start wondering if you're actually working or simply slacking off.
In addition, Mech decks can also look really obnoxious. You know what I'm talking about. Flashy, loud, garish RGB lighting shining through keycaps, enough to light up your entire desk and encroach on your coworker's space too. I'm not a fan of loud keyboards, and personally prefer a minimalist one. Maximalism is not my style, and recently, I tested a keyboard that proved to me that low-profile is the new high-end — and I mean that both in terms of the keyboard's actual profile and conspicuity.
The Iqunix Magi75 is a beautiful keyboard. It looks oh-so-good, and its low-profile design has some great benefits for those who have sedentary jobs, where they sit at a desk for eight or more hours a day (like me!). Its Kailh Gold Red switches are simply drool-worthy, for typing on and listening to. Did I mention this is a stunning board? I'll say it a few more times in any case. Here's why I love the Magi 75.
Mmmm, Kailh switches
I've tested a lot of the best keyboards in my time as a reviews writer (over 80, last I counted), and I've always been a bit partial to mech decks. I love the tactile bump of a mechanical switch — something Hall Effect ones simply can't match, in my opinion. The Iqunix Magi75 features some of the best and smoothest switches I've ever used, and they're the Kailh Gold Red linears.
The Kailh Gold Reds require just 40g of force to activate, and they have a pre-travel distance of 1.2mm (2.8mm before bottoming out) so you don’t even need to press them all the way down to activate them. This makes your fingers feel like they're bouncing on clouds. The typing feel is nothing short of beautiful — and fast.
Alongside that, the Gold Reds work with the Magi75's le-tray mount design and several layers of sound dampening foam to deliver a creamy sound profile. It's not too thocky or clicky that it fills your coworkers with rage, and it isn't too quiet that you risk coming across as someone who isn't working at all. Now, I absolutely love this. I had two colleagues point out that they really loved the sound, and both of them complimented the keyboard's design too, which brings me to my next point...
Maximalism is out, minimalism is in
I love the Iqunix Magi75's low-key design. You can get the keyboard in either black or white, with either pinkish-red or gold accents gracing the keycaps. Customizable per-key RGB lighting is at play too, but it isn't too loud or bright even at its highest brightness. Another thing I love about the Magi75 is its aluminum case, which lends the keyboard a premium, top-notch build and look.
In my opinion, and as I alluded to in the headline, the most impressive mechanical keyboard in the room is the one you barely notice. The Magi75 is just that. While maintaining a sleek and inconspicuous design, it enables you to type quickly and get the job done.
That's also thanks to its low-profile design which has health and ergonomic benefits. Since the keyboard sits flush against your desk's surface, your hands fall naturally on it, and you don't need an additional wrist rest to feel comfortable, as you do with standard-profile keyboards. This ergonomic design means you can type all day long without your fingers feeling fatigued. Low-profile decks can help reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI), especially if you have a sedentary job.
In addition to this, low-profile keyboards use low-profile switches and keycaps. LP switches don't require as much force to activate, and they have shorter travel distances compared to their standard-profile counterparts. This means that you can type quickly and, again, your fingers don't feel tired. I honestly don't know how anyone could continue using a standard-profile keyboard for all-day long work. The benefits of low-profile decks easily outweigh any shortcomings they may have (and the Magi75 does).
So, so close to greatness
As you can probably tell by now, I really love the Iqunix Magi75, which is why I wish it didn't have the flaws it does. The Magi75, although great for productivity, has noticeable drawbacks. While the Kailh Gold Red linear switches are phenomenal, Iqunix doesn't give you any other switches to choose from — instead, you must buy the Kailh 1353 series separately.
There's also no physical toggles to turn on the keyboard or swap between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connections, which means you must rely on key combinations. That's fine, and I'm aware it's difficult to fit physical toggles on aluminum cases, but I found the key combinations to be a little finicky in my testing, with my combos not registering.
Last but not least, the Magi75's height can't be adjusted, which can be frustrating for users who want to prop the keyboard up at an angle. But are all of these dealbreakers? Not necessarily. As I noted in my full Iqunix Magi75 review, if it's a well-rounded, fast typing feel and lovely sound you're after, this keyboard more than suffices, and the low-profile, minimalist design is just too good. Outstanding. Beautiful. Fantastic. Take your pick!
