Lofree Hyzen Mechanical Magnetic Keyboard Review
No – there is no typo in the title of this review. Lofree has done something unthinkable by creating a hybrid mechanical and magnetic keyboard. It looks like a Cybertruck, I know, but don’t let that put you off from recognizing a major accomplishment found within this keyboard. Lofree has solved two major pain points in the mechanical keyboard space with their release of the Hyzen – a mechanical m...[Read More]
Epomaker RT100 PRO Mechanical Keyboard Review
Remember when I said that Epomaker’s newest keyboard, the RT98, was pushing a modular fantasy thanks to its ability in switching from a traditional right-handed keyboard to a left-handed keyboard (southpaw style)? Remember how I hoped Epomaker would push the modular fantasy further? I have good news for you, folks: Epomaker listened and has delivered with the RT100 PRO. I have been waiting for the...[Read More]
KiiBOOM Phantom98 LITE Mechanical Keyboard Review
KiiBOOM’s Phantom line of keyboards holds a special place in my heart because of their innovative aesthetic. They look stunning. They’re a great mid-range keyboard given their typical $200 pricetags. That said, $200 can be a barrier for gamers who want a keyboard that’s a smidge more affordable that also offers the classic KiiBOOM experience of a keyboard that just works right out of the box. Ente...[Read More]
Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard Review – Concrete Edition
Since falling down the rabbit hole that is the mechanical keyboard space, I’ve become increasingly interested in keyboards made of unique materials. I’ve spent quite a bit of time praising and using ceramic keycaps, but I know that they’re not for everyone because of their price point and hardness. Frankly, they’re hard to type on despite being delightfully cool to the touch. What if a keyboard wa...[Read More]
Epomaker Luma100 Mechanical Keyboard Review
Of the Epomaker keyboards I have reviewed over the past few years, there has been one key similarity bringing them all together: Their height. The Epomaker keyboards I’ve reviewed, as wild and varied as they have been in the aesthetic department, have had a consistent (and sometimes adjustable) height. Epomaker’s low profile keyboards have been out of reach from my hands until now. Epomaker’s Luma...[Read More]
Epomaker HE108 Keyboard Review
The hall effect (HE) keyboard space is overwhelmingly dominated by keyboard manufacturers competing to create the best 75% keyboard. There are some notable exceptions (like Wooting’s 60HE), but the fact remains that these keyboards are being artificially confined to smaller form factors. To date, the only full-sized HE keyboards I’ve seen have come from Wooting (with a large, but warranted, price ...[Read More]
Epomaker RT98 Mechanical Keyboard Review
When Epomaker refreshed its RT line of retro keyboards with 2025’s RT82, I was eager for them to revisit their larger RT-numbered keyboard to keep up with the times. As an owner and near-daily user of an RT100 (the OG keyboard-with-detachable-screen from Epomaker), where was the new model? Would the pogo-connector screen emerge once again in another keyboard? Survey says…yes! I just had to wait a ...[Read More]
Wooting 60HE v2 Hall Effect Keyboard Review
I was too critical when initially reviewing Wooting’s 80HE keyboard back in late 2024. I was. I was reviewing the unit from the perspective of an average mech keeb enjoyer. There are two issues with that: First, I (as in, the reviewer writing this review) am not an average keyboard enjoyer. Second, Wooting’s keyboards are not for the average keyboard customer. They’re enthusiast-grade keyboards fo...[Read More]
Keychron Q6 Ultra 8K Mechanical Keyboard Review
Several months ago, a Redditor on /r/mechanicalkeyboards posted a new Keychron keyboard that was stumbled upon after perusing Best Buy’s website: The Q6 Ultra 8K. At that time, there was no mention of this keyboard on Keychron’s website, nor was it available at my local Best Buy (so I couldn’t see it for myself). Maybe Best Buy made an oopsie by making an unannounced keyboard available to the publ...[Read More]
Epomaker TH99 PRO Review
I’ve been generally happy with Epomaker’s keyboards over the past few years, but rarely have I said, “Wow, this is amazing to type on” like I did with their newest keyboard, the TH99 PRO. Then again, I don’t think I’ve reviewed a PRO keyboard from them, so I may have just been missing out. I digress, my first few minutes of taking the TH99 PRO out of the box, plugging it in, and tip tapping away s...[Read More]
Epomaker QK108 Mechanical Keyboard Review
Back when I reviewed Epomaker’s QK81 mechanical keyboard, I praised Epomaker for how it avoided cutting corners in the spirit of cost-cutting a keyboard into the “budget” category. It contained the essentials, ranging from hot-swappable switches/keycaps, a volume knob, a large battery for wireless use, and materials feel anything but cheap. I’m happy with how the QK81 has lasted all this time sinc...[Read More]
KiiBOOM Cybrix29 Mechanical Keyboard Review
The KiiBOOM Cybrix29 is a very strange keyboard, at least at first. Upon taking it out of the box, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Where’s the other half of this keyboard?” I liked what I had in my hands, but I couldn’t break myself from thinking that something was missing from the box. There wasn’t. KiiBOOM’s Cybrix29 is meant to be a small keyboard. It’s a Hall Effect Gaming keyboard that ...[Read More]
