IQUNIX OG80 Dark Side: Good Out-Of-The-Box, But Can It Be Improved? | Review, Modding, Typing Sounds
Ғылым және технология
This was fun for me as I have always wanted to try out an iQUNIX board since I embarked on this hobby. I am pleasantly surprised by the OG80 Dark Side but it doesn't come without its caveats, in a world of customization and ever-falling prices, is the OG80 still a valuable option in the world of mechanical keyboards?

I’ve been using the Ioniq F96 with Cherry MX red switches since 2020 and now just bought the OG80 with TTC Ace switches. Awesome quality and typing experience. Definitely one of the best if not THE best. As for the counting blinks for SOC. Just count till 3 blinks. You’ll know you have more then enough for the coming month on Bluetooth.

I would like to leave my appreciation for the quality of this guys work. What is up with this guy? The awesome music, the tasteful lighting, clear speech, well-structured review, the careful choice of wording, the subtle humour, the general style of the video. What are you? An artist? An editor?

how would you compare the sound profile between the keychron and the og80? thanks!!
Aside from iquinix nuphy and keychron, are there any other brands that have 75%, Bluetooth + 2.4 and is good?
Looks like it has north facing pcb. Is there interference with cherry profile keycaps?

Sick keyboard! While all other boards imo all have the same pretty boring result.. Rectangular etc. This is what custom means to me hehe, that angled f key row is just pure instant love.

@@dioxyde0 The switches were actually better on the OG80 but that's because the Mojo68 uses the Gateron Pros which I don't like but that's a personal preference. I think the Mojo feels a bit more solid, it's... "firmer" or "denser" but that's from memory as I lent it to a friend a couple of months ago, I hope I'm remembering it correctly but the initial impression out of the box was better than that of the OG80. Sidenote: I never opened the Mojo68 though, from what I remember it might be worse than the OG80 in terms of accessibility but the sound was better out of the box, didn't feel like I needed to mod anything.

Quick question, I'm an idiot.. Keycaps wise, is it just ''plug and play'' when it comes to changing keycaps? I would love to buy some black ''pudding''' keycaps to show off the RGB a bit more! :D
