The Boog75: A Hall Effect Mechanical Keyboard

Main page: meletrix.com/pages/boog75 Board provided by Meletrix.
An all-metal keyboard using Gateron's new Hall Effect magnetic switches, the Boog75 gives a glimpse into a future where keyboard input doesn't have to be purely digital. Adjustable actuation points for each key, super smooth key presses, and ultra-low latency combine to make a fully-featured board with a unique, quiet "thocky" sound. It's become my new daily driver and is a complete joy to use, not to mention feeling premium due to the machined aluminum case. It's an upgrade to my setup in every sense, and I can easily recommend it to anyone looking for a new premium board.

[@ryanlowery9081]

Me too. I'm trying to sell my Wooting 60HE, I was going to wait for the 80HE but SCREWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW waiting 4 months and probably being disappointed. I havnt spoken to a single person who hasnt HIGHLY and i mean HIGHLY praised this keyboard.

can you use the F13 and f14 slot and place the zoom75 LCD screen instead of keys? I hope we can mod the boog75 w/ LCD screen like the zoom75

this is so expensive when shipped to my country, so i decided to go with the akko mod 007b he

[@armandof6453]

I’ve been flirting around with the idea of getting a zoom75 but it’s so out of stock that a boog is not out of the question so this review is much appreciated. The main thing holding me back is probably its biggest selling point: the switches. Their potential utility is undeniable as you demonstrated but I’ve been using clicky switches almost exclusively and i’m well accustomed to them so the switch (no pun intended) to magnetic might be too much for me.

It's a bit of an adjustment as someone who usually swears by tactile switches. I'm loving the smoothness of these, but it took me a minute to come around. I think it helps that they have a lot of travel, like 4mm.

How does a coiled cable save desk space?

[@SilverSeraphym]

Really, the idea is that a straight cable may gather on your desk and behind your monitor, or behind the desk. But it all depends on how you have your cables ran/PC placed. For me, it means less cable lying across my desk. Your mileage may vary etc.

​@@SilverSeraphym How is it less cable laying on your desk when there's a meter of coiled cable there

[@goldythefish36]

@@whitchellegera291 What he means is if for example your computer is on the table the coiled cable will take up less real estate as it's neatly coiled instead of laying all over your table.
