I’ve had the opportunity to review numerous gaming keyboards in recent years, often from prominent brands like Asus, HyperX, and Corsair. While these keyboards typically offer premium features, the Meletrix Boog75 stands out for its enthusiast appeal.
Unlike keyboards with elaborate RGB software and dedicated media keys, the Boog75 excels both in typing and gaming experiences. Surprisingly, it competes well with mainstream offerings despite its more affordable price point.
The Hall Effect
The Boog75 is based on Meletrix’s Zoom75, a keyboard that has gained popularity among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts for its high quality at an affordable price. What sets the Boog75 apart is the use of magnetic (Hall Effect) switches.

The use of magnetic switches offers advantages over traditional switches, including ultra-thin actuation points and the ability to fine-tune the actuation point. These switches provide a more consistent keystroke experience, enhancing both gaming and typing performance.
The Boog75 impresses not only with its switches but also with its build quality and design. It comes in two visually appealing designs and offers a premium feel that belies its affordable price point.
Despite being a wired keyboard and having some limitations in software customization, the Boog75 surpasses many higher-priced mainstream options, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts.
