IQUINIX Magi75 Review: A Fast & Silent Low-Profile Keyboard For All

16 May 2026 at 18:20

A compact, RGB-backlit mechanical keyboard with visible keys labeled including 'ESCAPE,' 'CAPSLOCK,' and 'CTRL,' connected via a cable.

Unlike conventional mechanical keyboards, low-profile mechanical keyboards don't get the same love, as there are some crucial differences, particularly in the feel. For me, getting the right low-profile keyboard has always been difficult, as transitioning from a regular to a low-profile keyboard has been challenging. The compact design, smaller switches, and shallow keycaps usually make it difficult to type faster, and you don't get that same tactile feedback. Then comes the Iquinix Magi75, which appears promising, but treating it like just another conventional mechanical keyboard will be a mistake. It's a low-profile mechanical keyboard that has a couple of variants, […]

Epomaker RT98 Review: A New Step In Modularity

18 April 2026 at 15:37

A white mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting and a small display showing '11:59:42' in the top right corner sits on a black mouse pad.

A large section of the PC gaming community loves modularity, and modular keyboards are not uncommon. Most modular keyboards offer customizations to the switch level, allowing you to swap the stock switches with different ones. RGB customizations are common even on non-modular keyboards, and that's something quite usual on most RGB keyboards. Epomaker took a different approach to modularity, and apart from swappable switches and RGB customizations, you are also seeing a swappable layout on its new RT98 keyboard. The RT98 is advertised as a keyboard that "Breaks the Mold" as it offers an unusual modularity that is unique and […]
