Meletrix Boog75 review — a gaming keyboard with style to spare

The Meletrix Boog75 might be a gaming keyboard, but it’s not toying around thanks to its durable gasket-mounted design, smooth linear switches, fast performance and stylish design. Though it’s too heavy to travel with, this board delivers an all-around satisfying gaming and typing experience.

The Meletrix Boog75 gaming keyboard is playing for keeps. Like the excellent Corsair K70 Max, this keyboard features magnetic linear switches that let you to set the keys’ actuation point. Sound-dampening design ensures quiet keystrokes no matter how hard you type, while the sturdy aluminum frame looks great and keeps the keyboard in place. Gateron KS37B magnetic switches also provide a pleasant and comfortable typing experience.

Like Meletrix’s other keyboards, the Boog75 is fully customizable. You’re free to change its keycaps and switches, swap out its case and module, add or remove foam and more. However, the out-of-the-box experience is so good that you might not even need to take advantage of this. Software-wise, you can adjust the per-key RGB lighting, set different profiles and preferred actuation point.

The Boog75 is undoubtedly one of the best gaming keyboards and best mechanical keyboards I’ve tested. However, there are some downsides. While you can change switches, you’re limited to the magnetic variety. The 75% design is more compact than a full keyboard, but the 7-pound weight means it’s not easy to travel with. And though using Meletrix’s website to customize the keyboard’s RGB and key actuation works well, I would have preferred a desktop app instead.

Nitpicks aside, the Meletrix Boog75 is a great keyboard for gaming and writing. Yes, it’s expensive at $229, but for what it offers, it’s worth the price of admission. It has now become my daily driver at work due to its fun typing experience and quiet keys. It also just looks cool!
