The MelGeek Centauri80 Rei Edition is the kind of keyboard that immediately grabs your attention before you even get to its day-to-day user experience and Hall effect features. This officially licensed Evangelion collaboration is built around Rei Ayanami and EVA-00, with themed detailing across the aluminum chassis, transparent keycaps, engravings, lighting, and even the OLED touchscreen. It’s also every bit as premium as it looks, carrying a hefty $459 price tag. Beyond the design, you’re getting gasket mounting, 8,000Hz polling, 0.01mm Rapid Trigger, magnetic switches, and a dedicated OLED touchscreen in the top-right corner. There are obviously much cheaper ways to get the Hall Effect performance, but the Centauri80 Rei Edition is clearly aimed at someone who wants the keyboard itself to be a centerpiece of the battlestation. I’ve been using it as my main board for the past few weeks, and here’s how it’s been holding up.

In a world where most keyboards have started looking increasingly similar, all following more or less the same design language, it always catches my attention when something with a more aggressive gaming aesthetic – sharp angles, bold cuts, and a bit more personality – shows up every now and then. The IQUNIX EV63 Hall effect keyboard we’re checking out today is one of those, currently sitting on my desk. Not only does it look good but it also checks a lot of the right boxes when it comes to gaming. I’ve spent enough time using it to get a solid feel for what it brings to the table, so head below for a closer look and to learn more about my experience with it.

There’s no shortage of affordable, budget-friendly gaming keyboards on the market, but only a handful come packed with features that truly come through for gaming. You’re likely to end up with a standard mechanical keyboard when shopping for models under $100, but the EPOMAKER G84 HE we’re looking at today checks all the basics while also bringing some noteworthy extras to the table at this price point. I kept my expectations in check when I started using it as my daily driver for gaming – especially since I was coming from some more premium boards in my collection – but I have to admit it’s proven to be a reliable performer that has consistently earned a spot on my desk alongside the LOFREE Flow 2 wireless model I usually rely on for work.
