Our Verdict

IQUNIX EZ80/EZ75

Qwertykeys Hex80

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.
