Designed specifically for FPS gamers, the EZ Series aims to elevate gaming experiences to new heights. With its unique e-sport aesthetic design, IQUNIX brings a breakthrough 8000 Hz polling rate, 0.05 mm Release Sensitivity in Rapid Trigger with revolutionary hall effect technology, and Magnetic Auto-Tune for minimal latency, faster key response, and competitive stability in FPS gaming, such as Valorant, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, osu!, and Apex Legends.

The EZ Series offers a range of impressive features that set it apart from other gaming keyboards on the market. By prioritizing the enhancement of keyboard performance metrics like latency, key accuracy, and stability, the EZ60/EZ63 also shines in personalization options, delivering customizable settings and an unparalleled sound feel.





Breakthrough Response - 8000 Hz Polling Rate
One of the most notable features of EZ is its ultra-high polling rate of 8000 Hz, which reduces keyboard latency to an unprecedented 0.125 ms. This means that players will have almost instantaneous responses to their inputs, giving them a clear advantage in fast-paced. By delivering real-time feedback with unparalleled speed and precision, IQUNIX continues to push the boundaries of gaming performance.

Ultimate Precision - 0.05 mm Rapid Tigger & Accuracy

Plus, IQUNIX and Gateron jointly developed and launched the latest breakthrough - thedesign utilizes magnetic coupling and the Hall effect to ensure smoother keystrokes with enhanced stability, maintaining accurate triggering.

Best Sound & Texture: E-sport Gasket Mount, Aluminum Frame
The accuracy of the magnetic switch HE keyboard is crucial, and IQUNIX has achieved a breakthrough of 0.05 mm RT sensitivity and precision. Therefore, they designed the E-sport gasket mount to be stable, which not only ensures accuracy on a stable foundation, but also guarantees a pleasant sound.

IQUNIX is referred to as the "Aluminum Factory" by their customers, this prestigious nickname highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality that IQUNIX is known for. Naturally, this incredibly cool tech product is crafted from high-quality aluminum, delivering a premium texture and ensuring durability.

:wtf: sure.. but no software is better, imo

Anyway, I do find the price a bit too steep for such a 60% keyboard. Or maybe the added cost is that 'stability' thing.
All considered worth a test, @Nomad76

Not a fan of web-based #anything, neither over apps and so on, however, many enjoy those. Price-wise, it seems a bit on the high end, true. On my end, I kinda love that retro-new look

Don't like regular height mechanical keyboards, hate how my wrist sorta bends using them. I love my Keychron K1 SE. So if they ever make a low profile version with HE switches consider me very interested.

Good to see more alternatives to WOOTING out there. I personally have a WE80 on order but this is nice to see

No function keys, so I guess this is only a gaming keyboard, and web based software is terrible at this price.
Also IMO the trend of gasket mounted keyboards is ridiculously stupid, I don't see why anyone would buy a mechanical keyboard for it to feel like a garbage mushy rubber dome keyboard.

Not all gasket mounts are going to feel the same. It's going to depend on the stiffness of the material used in the gasket. Some people prefer a springy typing experience while others prefer a more rigid one.

Have seen big claims about latency and rapid trigger sensitivity/accuracy before and it being bollocks.

Lets see if anyone makes a proper test of it.

8000Hz polling on a keyboard is hilariously useless. Even high-end mice barely benefit from going above 2000, and those are by their very nature more sensitive to latency. This will give absolutely no real edge to anyone. But hey, I guess at least HE switches are nice, so there is that.

I swear, polling rate became the “more DPI” number game of old.

Yeah that would make sense, I just find it weird how having a metal plate midframe feeling like you're typing on a solid block of metal used to be a premium feature, now it only seems to be on more entry level mechanical keyboards.

Yeah, it's really hard to tell the difference above 4,000 Hz even with a 240 Hz+ monitor. The switches on this keyboard should be able to register presses very quickly if they are using hall effect switches with variable actuation but that says nothing about how quickly the keyboard's controller picks up on those keys being pressed (known as scan rate) and then starts sending the data over USB to your PC.

NO ARROW KEYS

The ez63 has arrow keys, they are selling versions with and without arrow keys. TBH I typically just map the bottom right most keys to arrow keys. That said, if this is anything like the wooting hall effect keyboards, it may be possible to map keys to double tap vs a hold vs a single tap (or even a certain pressing distance although I don't recommend that).

Yeah that would make sense, I just find it weird how having a metal plate midframe feeling like you're typing on a solid block of metal used to be a premium feature, now it only seems to be on more entry level mechanical keyboards.

It's just not something they blow up in the marketing anymore because as you pointed out even entry level keyboards have that nowadays. They are just surrounding that metal plate with a lot of foam and mounting it and the PCB differently.

It's a lot of small attention to detail things and part quality that you get when going from budget to high end but you could easily be happy with a lower end keyboard today. There's also a ton of options in terms of smaller brands today as well which is great for the market.

I just hope by Web based they mean similar to how routers/wifi ap provide a web interface running locally(on that device) it would be a welcome change compared to bloatwares we have with all "gaming" products.

It's a magnetic keyboard, which needs quality software for actuation customization.
