I Found The CREAMIEST Keyboard.

The build quality here is genuinely impeccable. The case is made out of aluminum with a beautiful engraving. It feels like one solid tray piece. And really, you can't get that creative with lowprofile keyboards, but I feel like they've done quite a bit here and it sets it apart.
They feel better, they sound better, and to me they look better.

The Best Low-Profile Keyboard.

This thing sounds and feels incredible for such a thin keyboard, it's nearly on par with a normal mechanical keyboard. It has a nice creamy sound, a flexible and soft typing experience, and it's loaded with features that other lowprofile keyboards don't typically have.
I've never had any problems with them or their products so far. Good job, IQUINIX!

The quality is high in every aspect.

The typing feel and cost performance are on a completely different level.
Among low-profile keyboards, it delivers top-tier typing feel and typing sound. It offers both a premium look and excellent durability, there has never been a low-profile keyboard with this level of high-grade typing feel and typing sound.
The melting-smooth sound and feel are extremely satisfying. It’s an absolutely recommended product.

The overall build quality is just absolutely incredible.

This thing is thin and slim like any low profile should be, but it feels weighty and substantial and premium.It sounds really nice and creamy.
The aluminum chassis and the overall build are the real stars of the show here.
I love the designs of their key caps, both with this and the Magi65.
The overall build quality is just absolutely incredible.
This thing is great though. I’m definitely going to continue to use it now that I’ve been done with the testing. This is the new default for me for the time being.

The MQ80 is equally impressive from a build quality perspective.

The key caps are generally nice. The case is a solid slab of CNC-ed aluminum that's finished with an exceptionally smooth feeling 180-grit anodized process.

An exclusive, world-first design by IQUNIX, the Le-Tray Gasket Mount provides more bottom-out space within the compact low-profile
keyboard layout, delivering an incredibly soft typing feel and a pure, creamy typing sound.

Unlike traditional low-profile keyboards that bottom out against a hard
plastic surface, the Le-Tray Gasket Mount ensures a smooth, soft landing
with every keystroke. This not only enhances typing comfort but also
creates a richer, more pure sound, free from the hollow feel typical of other low-profile designs.

provide a consistently clean, smooth, and high-quality typing experience.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

This is my second keyboard from Iqunix, I truly love the look and feel of it , it screams High Quality .

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

My son just wanted the Iqunix, the lower keys, the sounds, the light, the fastness! 🦾

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Really impressed with the IQUNIX MQ80. The build quality is fantastic—it feels incredibly solid and weighty on the desk. Typing on it feels super smooth and satisfying. Battery life has been exactly what I hoped for: charged it once and haven't had to worry about plugging it back in for months (more than 4 months with medium daily typing). Highly recommended if you want a premium low-profile board!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

The product is very good. It is a perfect fit for people that want that low profile laptop keyboard!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

So far been loving it! Still trying to get used to a tighter keyboard but having a good time with it so far compared to my old bulky keyboard that was flaring up my carpal tunnel

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Great keyboard, wish the software was a bit more reliable, sometimes RGB settings were odd, the colour picker wasn't accurate but later it fixed itself. I would like a custom colour profile - like make capslock toggle colours to indicate if it's on or not or colour code the f row keys for the multimedia functions so I don't need to memorise them but the actual keyboard itself is great (NOTE: I used XVX Low profile skyline bow and wob keycap sets on DEEPSEA WHALE MINI TACTILES and generic clear low profile keycaps I got from Ali if you wanted to know what I made, I would like to grease the wide keys like the backspace, enter, and spacebar so they're quieter. Would LOVE if I could use your keycaps instead but they're not shine through, would rather buy your keycaps for the proper legends for features

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

One of the best keyboard all ever had!

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

If anyone loves clear linear typing with the solid base that makes you feel 'I'm typing,' buy this one NOW.

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

I currently own this keyboard and hear a noticeable sound difference. The left side sounds different than the right side, which has a slightly deeper sound. Is this normal?Right side of the sound is more deeper sound and more thocky sound.How can I fix this issue or could you replace new one for me.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

amazing keyboard

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

A great feeling keyboard! Only nags I have is via does not work with the dongle but only a direct usb connection and the battery indication is needlessly complicated when you have a perfectly functional LED-bar right there (or use the backlighting of the 1-0 number keys) and could show the percentage immediately instead of having me counting flashes. All that are nitpicks, though. I certainly cannot go back to my old keyboard anymore xD

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Sound of click is amazing

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Top notch. Never had an expensive keyboard and was really surprised how good it could be!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

It's my second keyboard in life and I would say that this one it's in another level. Sound ,feel, all of it it's very good.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Great keyboard and well worth the price.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Really good and satisfying keyboard! I love it! Can't wait to get my hands on a mouse from the brand.

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

It is definitely the best keyboard I've ever owned or used: the look and fell, the overall sound of each key when typing is just pure bliss. The build quality is excellent and the performance of the 2.5G connection is very good. The battery seems to last long enough (I've been using it non-stop for two weeks and it is still on 80%) but I'll see how it fares in the next months.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Best price/value I've ever had

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

This is my first low-pro board and it’s been very comfortable to use. The sound and feel of the board are both great and there’s really nothing I plan on changing with the setup. The backlight does really drain the battery quickly, but without the lighting the battery life is great. Fit and finish of the board is amazing and it is really well put together. I’d love to see an MQ96 or MQ100 at some point!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Great build quality!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

The finish is excellent and the feeling is good. However, it would be nice if the stabilizer could be fixed accurately

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

An excellent mechanical keyboard, with extraordinary build quality! I own Magi65 since summer (over 6 months) and after I got a sneak preview of that keyboard, I would like to get another one, having one to home and other at office. I highly recommend and I love it!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Overall, one of the best keyboard I ever used. But, I still get an error on VIA with the Command not matching the response.

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Best keyboard I've ever had.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Being new to mechanical keyboards, I did considerable research before settling on the MQ80 and it's magic, and for me it's a 98% satisfaction score - the 2% I've reserved for any future model with a full keyboard layout with num pad and shine through keycaps!! omg this baby feels and sounds like heaven though.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

This is my first mechanical keyboard. I work as a programmer, so I type quite a lot. I spent a long time choosing and looked through many options. Among my requirements, I definitely wanted a low-profile keyboard, and preferably one with hot-swappable switches, since there was a chance I wouldn’t like the stock option (spoiler: with the MQ80 everything turned out great—above my expectations). I also wanted the keycaps to be made of a tactually pleasant plastic, and the case to be stable, ideally with a good battery. I came across the IQUNIX MQ80 by chance. It’s strange that not many people talk about it. After several weeks of use, I can confidently say that this is an excellent option. The case is great—very stable and heavy, and the typing angle personally suits me well. The tactile feel of the keys is wonderful. Maybe one day I’ll try other switches; it’s just a pity that the package didn’t include a few alternative switch types to test. The battery lasted for several weeks of active work, and during that time I occasionally turned on the backlighting for variety—it’s really nice. For me, this is an excellent product. I can confidently recommend it to my colleagues, and I hope the quality remains high over time. The only thing I’d really like is for you to include 1–2 switches of a different type in the box so users can try them. Thank you for your work! I’m planning to make a video review and post it on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/macro.pointofview/

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

i'm really satisfied with me MQ80. it feels extremely durable and premium, cause of the metal casing. The Keycaps are smooth and nice to click, also the sound is very impressive (kinda like the Magi series i had before). Alsmost every guest is impressed by the MQ80. Very nice product!

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

The IQUNIX MQ80 is a lovely keyboard. It is a big step up from the Nuphy Air75 v2 and the Keychron K3 Pro, both which I own and wish that could be more like the MQ80. It is incredibly solid with a metal chassis, the keys are smooth and produce satisfying thock, the RGB is bright, and the keys are compatible with a Mac keyboard. I would buy it again if I needed another.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

If you're a Mac user like me, I can't recommend this keyboard enough. Stop looking for anything else, this is the end game. Just buy it man. I was watching a lot of reviews of this and everyone was saying that it was really premium and wow, it really is. Like even the aluminum feels way better than keychron stuff, I would compare it to the feel of aluminum on MacBooks. Also I was a bit worried that the switches would be a bit too loud, but they are totally manageable. I will be also trying out quieter ones from lofree, but tbh I'm kinda liking the creaminess of these. So satisfying to type on.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

the product was well packed. The keyboard is high quality. I really like the product

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

High quality full aluminium case keyboard with a very nice creamy sound when typing on it. No connectivity issue and the experience have been amazing so far. With the keyboard there is a high quality case which is an amazing thing to not buy one. 5 stars experience.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Still need the manual for all the key combo's but the typing is phenomenal .. This one will stay on my desk for a very long time

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

The most buttery typing experience just as expected from the numerous reviews watched prior to buying. The one element which would have made it the best typing keyboard out of the box for me would have been the shine through key caps.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

I want to be very honest about this keyboard. I understand it might not be for everyone since it uses an 80% layout. But wow - the build quality is absolutely outstanding. While it’s not the cheapest option on the market, for me it’s worth every penny I spent. Pros Full aluminum body: Gives it a premium finish and feel. It looks great on my desk and is comfortable even on my lap. Deep, thocky sound: I briefly used the original Kailh Gold switches, which felt good. Now I’m using Kailh Deep Sea Mini Tactile Whale switches, and the experience is fantastic. Battery life: Quite good when the lights are off. True 1000Hz polling rate: Performance feels smooth and responsive. Sound quality: No unpleasant high-pitched noises or pinging. Typing produces a pleasant, deep, gentle sound. Cons No physical switch for Wired/Bluetooth/2.4GHz modes. No dedicated on/off switch (though I’ve gotten used to using a macro). The light bar indicator brightness cannot be adjusted. The backspace stabilizer needed some lubrication. Overall My experience with this keyboard hasn’t been very long yet, but it already ticks all the right boxes for me. I especially love the feel and the sound. With the Kailh Deep Sea Mini Tactile Whale switches, it’s incredibly good - super silent yet still tactile. An amazing experience overall. I truly love this product and would definitely recommend it.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Wonderful keyboard, well built, and it sounds so good

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

I own 3 low profile mkbs, and this is hands down my favorite. The build quality, sound, feel, and overall typing experience are all excellent - creamy, smooth, and satisfying. I also own the nuphy air v3, and the lifter flow lite84. Both of these keyboards are great - but, this is the one I use for work and on my home PC. I have a little shelf with my other keyboards and they rarely get taken out now. For context, I have the lite84 with specter (and hades) switches. Typing on the lite84 is surprisingly good, but it’s a much lighter/portable builds and feels that way. It’s my go to travel mkb - but just not as enjoyable to use as the mq80. The Nuphy Air V3 also has great build quality and feel. I want to love the keyboard - the overall typing experience is fantastic, but I got this before the mq80, and once I got the mq80 I never looked back. Also, I struggled with the berry keycap profile, and was making a lot of typing errors. For home use, the blush switches are a little too quiet for me, but it’s also a little too heavy for me to take mobile.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

My colleagues are jealous in the office. Some say its the best sound they ever heard. Some of them just sit next to me just to listen me type. Fyi it typs nice as wel

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

The keyboard's build quality is very good, a bit heavy but that is expected from aluminum. But there's a small gripe I have is that the keyboard itself doesn't have any tray to hold the 2.4 adapter. The Kailh Switches feel creamy and smooth to type on.

Customer video review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Overall, a beautiful and delightful-to-type-on low-profile mechanical keyboard. My words per minute have improved greatly. The only issue is that the aluminium frame seems to be warped; there is a slight rocking motion as shown in this video. For this reason, I have to give 4-stars, otherwise it would be a clear 5.

Customer photo review of IQUNIX MQ80 Aluminum Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Nice feel, nice weight (I like them heavy) and very nice finish.
