Been looking for ages for a 75/80% compact keeb with aluminum body, ISO-DE and 2.4Ghz Wireless.

Finally got my package with the IQUNIX Super Zonex 75. Gateron Silent MX Reds and Keychron Developer Cap Set to replace my old Corsair K70.

Super happy with the Zonex 75, decently heavy, looks and feels very nice. 6000mAh, VIA support, and great lighting, absolutely in love. Gateron reds feel very well, but I've had several broken pins in my batch and had to swap several switches since they have not been working. No idea if I screwed up, since it's my first custom build, or just a bad batch. Keychron keycaps are also feeling super nice.

Nice KEEB! Hate the enter switch (and that's ok...), love the volume knob though! Do the Gateron's keyswitch colors correspond with the ones from Cherry? I'm not up to speed on all the different flavors, heh.

Yeah, Gateron Silent Reds are basically "off brand" Cherry MX reds, with same specs. I've read that they are supposed to be a bit smoother, and definitely can confirm that, they definitely feel very smooth without any additional lubing
