The Boog75 is a mechanical keyboard with a trick up its sleeve — but Mac users should look elsewhere for their typing fix

Boog75 on a desk.

The gaming keyboard — an input device with special features designed to make you more deadly and efficient on some digital battlefield somewhere. That could be a litany of different Macro options, a specific gaming mode that deactivates all the keys that you don’t need, or maybe even just a mad, RGB-covered design that screams “I keep Mountain Dew in business’. Some gaming keyboards, however, have something that will actually help you play your games.

The Boog75 is one of these boards, and it’s something of a pioneer. Yes, it might look like a fairly standard custom mechanical keyboard, but under the hood (or on the board, whichever way you want to look at it) Meletrix has added something that could change the way you play your games forever: Magnetic key switches.
