Iqunix showed off the EC75 earlier this year at Computex, but the peripheral maker has now officially released the EC75 HE for sale, simultaneously revealing the pricing and finer details of the keyboard. At the time of writing, there is a store page for the EC75 HE, but it is not live just yet. The only place to buy an EC75 HE is on Amazon, where it costs $179.99.
As the name suggests, the EC75 HE has a 75% layout, which many see as a good balance between everyday productivity use-cases and gaming, since it provides the same space-saving benefits as a 65% keyboard but retains the function row. The EC75 has a CNC aluminium mid-case with an injection-molded bottom case, Hall effect sensing, and an 8 kHz polling rate. Iqunix has foregone wireless connectivity, relying instead on USB Type-C exclusively.
The case has a gasket-mounted design, and it comes with three layers of internal case sound damping materials. The plastic bottom case allows the keyboard to have flip-out feet for adjustable typing angles of 2.8, 6, and 10 degrees, depending on personal preference.
The included switches are Iqunix’s Diamond Pro Magnetic variety, which are linear Hall-effect switches with actuation force of 35-50 gf and 3.3 mm of total travel. The switches are pre-lubricated and made of a transparent material—likely polycarbonate plastic—to allow the keyboard’s south-facing per-key RGB backlighting to shine through. The keycaps are of the Cherry profile double-shot PBT variety.
Of course, being a Hall effect keyboard means that the EC75 HE has adjustable actuation distance and typical analogue features, like SOCD, DKS, and ModTap. Iqunix has specced the EC75’s Rapid Trigger functionality with 0.01 mm adjustment steps, while the keyboard’s adjustable actuation distance ranges from 0.01 mm to 3.1 mm at full travel. It also features an 8 kHz polling rate and full keyboard remapping with three on-board profiles and three layers per profile.
