The IQUNIX EZ80/EZ75 are compact gaming keyboards with Hall effect switches. They stand out with their solid CNC aluminum build, multiple layers of foam, and a gasket mount that provides a slightly cushioned typing experience. They support an 8000Hz polling rate and advanced features like Rapid Trigger, SOCD, and dynamic keystrokes. You can access these settings using the web-based configuration software.
Our Verdict
The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 are outstanding gaming keyboards that deliver exceptional latency performance. These keyboards feature superb build quality with solid all-aluminum cases and factory-lubed switches and stabilizers that feel smooth and refined. While the web-based configuration software isn't the most polished, it's feature-rich. It supports per-switch customization of actuation and reset points, as well as all advanced features, including multi-action key bindings and Rapid Trigger. These capabilities enhance input speed and consistency, making them especially valuable for fast-paced gaming scenarios.

Up to 8000Hz polling rate.
Non-adjustable incline.
The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 work decently well for office use, even though they weren't designed with that setting as a priority. Their build quality is remarkable, and the pre-lubed switches and stabilizers make typing feel smooth and satisfying. On the downside, the lack of incline adjustment can cause discomfort during long sessions; however, a wrist rest can help alleviate the strain. They also don't include wireless connectivity or a numpad, which may limit their usefulness for certain workflows.

The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 are wired-only keyboards that aren't suitable for use with mobile devices or tablets.
The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 are very good for programming. They have outstanding build quality and smooth, consistent factory-lubed switches and stabilizers that offer an excellent typing experience. They're also quiet and offer great backlighting enhanced by the transparent shine-through keycaps included on the Dark Side RS version we tested.. However, the lack of incline adjustment and a relatively high profile may make it uncomfortable to use over extended periods.

The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 aren't the best choice for entertainment or home theater setups because they are wired-only. Their weight adds to the inconvenience, and the absence of dedicated media keys further limits their usefulness in that context. However, the Dark Side RS variants feature translucent keycaps, which make them more practical for use in low-light environments.

The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 offer outstanding raw performance, which makes them well-suited for competitive gaming. They achieve very low and consistent latency in both single-key and multi-key inputs, while also supporting a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. Their chord split performance is equally strong, allowing them to handle fast or simultaneous inputs with ease.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The IQUNIX EZ80 and EZ75 continue the distinctive design language of their predecessors, the IQUNIX EZ60/EZ63, with the same premium full-aluminum build. They deliver a slight performance upgrade, offering outstanding latency results. While the software's UI is somewhat finicky to interact with compared to what's offered by competitors like NuPhy or Wooting, it still provides a full range of features, including Rapid Trigger and SOCD. The EZ80 and EZ75 compete directly with models like the Wooting 80HE and NuPhy Field75 HE. The Wooting distinguishes itself with a class-leading four-year warranty and excellent software support, while the NuPhy offers strong performance at a more accessible price. Even so, the IQUNIX models make a compelling case with their durable and unique build, enjoyable typing experience, and outstanding overall performance.

The Wooting 80HE and the IQUNIX EZ80 are high-end Hall effect gaming keyboards with 8000Hz polling rates, outstanding latency performance, and outstanding build quality. While the Wooting still manages to edge out these competitors when it comes to the software experience and its industry-leading four-year warranty, the IQUNIX EZ80 provides a slightly better typing experience.
The NuPhy Field75 HE and the IQUNIX EZ75 are gaming keyboards that use Hall effect switches, support an 8000Hz polling rate, and feature gasket-mount designs. The NuPhy offers dedicated macro keys along with extra physical controls such as dials and a programmable rotary knob. The EZ75 offers similarly exceptional latency performance, packaged in a more substantial all-aluminum build.
The Qwertykeys Hex80 and the IQUNIX EZ80 are very comparable Hall effect gaming keyboards with outstanding performance. Both have impressively built aluminum cases and deliver excellent typing experiences among the best we tested. The Qwertykeys' software is slightly more responsive, and its layout is more intuitive, but this is a minor difference. IQUNIX offers a smaller EZ75 variant if you want to save some desk space.
The IQUNIX EZ80/EZ75 and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are adjustable actuation keyboard gaming keyboards with fantastic latency performance, but they differ in several ways. The Razer uses analog optical switches and is available in three sizes, including a TKL option, and each model comes with a wrist rest. The IQUNIX models, on the other hand, are only available in a TKL and a 75% layout. They don't include a wrist rest but offer a full metal case, unlike the Razer. In terms of performance, the IQUNIX deliver stronger results and support a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. They also use a gasket mount design that gives typing a softer feel and helps reduce noise compared to the Razer. Note that the Razer also requires you to use its on-device Synapse configuration software to configure your keyboard, while the IQUNIX is used with a web-based interface.
