Meletrix BOOG75 Review | 75% Wooting 60HE

[@DotaApoomUs]

Dude I keep coming back to this video just to hear the sound test. I was close to buying and modding my own keyboard but the boog75 had everything I wanted. (sound, layout, premium feeling) I can't wait for it to come home

[@ProjectOsore]

I've just received my Boog75 - a dream came true! It literally has everything I could've ever asked from a keyboard. 11/10 I'm a Meletrix fan now :)

[@redhouscv2792]

I wish the black case didn’t have those teal designs on the front and side. I think it would be perfect if it was all black

[@evansvillerojas652]

you can buy the original zoom75 base kit and buy the boog75 module only but it doesn't come with caps. the case is interchangeable, so you have many colors to choose from but also would end up costing more.

[@poppy69420]

Meletrix usually makes custom, colorful keyboards. All black just isn’t their style

[@christofferskramest1336]

You could buy the zoom75 with the he module, but you would end up spending a lot more for that config.

[@chickencoopououwu2584]

Black/white prebuilt Zoom75 HE just dropped, as well as the case only kit for a few colours.

[@jayox6449]

There is a full black and full white pre built edition. Plain black case and WoB keycaps and the opposite.

[@by_run]

Meletrix sounds good stock. Interesting keyboard.

[@tristanhicks9824]

Do you prefer the boog75 or the wooting60?

[@mauree1618]

Damn the Boog outshines the Wooting in terms of quality and sound without any mods even.

[@chrismarch3111]

Just bought the boog75 and its everything I dreamed!

[@Elliswinky]

Aww! So cute. nice switch.

[@spartancaptain5691]

Man the boog75 sounds so much better than the wooting. Making my choice hard.

[@babayaga.666-v8x]

Great review i love the sound of that keyboard .But now i'm undecided if wooting 60he or this lol .....with size i prefer wooting is more little

[@tinypickle]

Are you going to be replacing your wooting with the boog75?

[@Jaeky]

Nah, I prefer the 60% layout now. Plus all the modding that I did to the Wooting makes me appreciate it more as my own kb.

[@miguelsalehi]

I just changed the lekker switches for gateron jades and it's a huge improvement in sound. I highly recommend.@@Jaeky

[@tinypickle]

​@@miguelsalehiDo you feel that the 3.5mm total travel on that affects the assumed HE settings since it assumes 4mm travel usually otherwise?

[@miguelsalehi]

I noticed that they bottom out sooner when i first put them in but it doesn't affect my gameplay. I play CS2 and use them high sensitivity on my movement keys so the bottom out doesn't really make a difference since it's reacting and activating rapid trigger before i bottom out. @@tinypickle

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Same exact Beta software as the Polar65. The only thing that works on that software is the lighting effects. Can't get actuation or rapid trigger to work at all through the software

[@mahdi-ev9ye]

I just watched Optimum's video covering Endgame gear's clone, he said the latency was worse, do you think the wooting is better than this one you reviewed?

[@blujayplays1]

Even if the wooting is better, it’s not better enough. The quality of this one is miles better. You can’t go wrong with the wooting though, it’s your choice

[@mahdi-ev9ye]

@@blujayplays1I have a wooting and to me latency matters most, optimum said he felt his movements jerk and feel not as smooth on other wooting clones

[@utaamv]

​@@mahdi-ev9yewell its endgame's fault for making a goofy ahh software and its fixable so it wouldnt be a problem at all and I heard that boog75 performs similar as wooting but idk tho since i dont have one but i might actually buy it

[@SLSAMG]

you're not in the top 1% that there will be any discernible difference anyway. stop clutching at straws....

[@mahdi-ev9ye]

@@SLSAMG i don't buy things to be better, i buy peripherals because they feel smoother to use. Optimum said he could feel the difference between the two keyboards and he isn't top 1% either. Some people say you can't see the difference between 144hz plus which is completely false, Im on 390 feels way smoother

[@engineering_guy]

Need a fullsize version of thiss 😬

[@ryan74458]

Currently waiting on my zoom75 to ship but already eyeing this as an upgrade. I think I'd rather have a seperate gaming keyboard though and I'd hate to buy a full new zoom75 kit just to replace it with the boog pcb. Hoping they come out with some better cases and I might buy this in the future.

[@chickencoopououwu2584]

They just released case only kits, only for a few colours tho

[@barkowiaks819]

thanks for the review! I just started looking into this topic and this is maybe a stupid question but is this hot swappable? it would also be great if you would do a deep dive into modding this Keyboard / showing how its build stock

[@rinnoX1]

yes

[@chickencoopououwu2584]

Hot swappable although you'd be hardpressed to find a lot of replacement options, there aren't that many HE switches, and even what we have aren't all compatible with each other. Give the market a year or so probably.

[@imliimits3530]

Please if you havnt done already sound test this keyboard with cermic v2 keycaps

[@lestyllaneta6081]

@Jaeky Have you tried using different HE switches on your BOOG75?

[@Jaeky]

I have not.

[@I3asyl]

Do you feel a diff in performance to wotting considering wooting has that super low latency mode and boog doesnt?

[@Jaeky]

Indistinguishable to the human brain if there is one. I can’t feel a difference.

[@I3asyl]

@@Jaeky IDK if you've tried the drunkdeer a75 HE, but it is a good $100 cheaper than the boog and wooting while still being a HE keeb. Wonder if that is worth it just for the value.

[@jimbo_mode]

@@I3asyl I've heard good things but this is a significantly nicer board in most regards. The features are a good bang for your buck, but its a plastic bottom mount case instead of an anodized cnc gasket mount system. Its performance will be good but don't expect it to sound much like this at all.

[@sa17dk]

How is the height on the boog75? It seems like it would be too tall and uncomfortable after long hours. Is the front height w/ keycaps taller than the wooting?

[@Trevcreative1]

that is a major reservation of mine too. I also type a TON for work and need to speed type. Im worried my hands would be super uncomfortable.

[@SLSAMG]

wrist rests exist you know....

[@iSkwerl]

It's hard to tell, but it seems like when you compare feathering on the Wooting to the BOOG, you are barely tapping on the Wooting keys vs. the BOOG. You mentioned you have the same settings on both, so I'm curious as to if the BOOG does feel a little less responsive in that manner.

[@kubul3334]

According to people on r/mk there is no noticalbe difference in responsivnes between these boards. Switches on the other hand are less scratchy and lubed better in boog75 aparently.

[@XeoVGR]

@iSkwerl I noticed that too, these Reviewers don’t have the Equipment to compare the Rapid Trigger Latency. Like the Endgame KB65HE seemed to feel like “There is no noticeable difference”, then when optimum or boardzy finally reviewed it, it was shockingly almost 3x Slower than the Wooting.

[@tinypickle]

​@@kubul3334 can you link to the post comparing the responsiveness between the 2? I don't want to buy this only to find it inferior to the wooting in performance

[@chickencoopououwu2584]

@@XeoVGR i mean... if you can't even feel it then what's even the point? I can personally guarantee you the keyboard isn't what's holding you back, even if it doesn't have HE switches.

[@FUSEDFORCE]

have they updated software as of now 22/02/2024 ?

[@smokey9522]

Hello I have been in their website but what does batch 1, batch 2, and batch 3 mean I am so confused can someone help me out

[@hansr370]

Super interesting been wantint a wooting for gaming but I am too invested in custom keyboard (30+ boards) this seem to be a nice middle ground

[@qryy168]

how long did u received it?

[@DualityGG]

Which keyboards you think would be almost close to Wooting for osu?

[@Jaeky]

Well, if you want the rapid trigger feature you'll have to look at hall effect keyboards. You can go for the Wooting osu! Keypad: wooting.io/uwu if you don't need an entire keyboard and want to save some money. I would always recommend just going for an actual Wooting keyboard but some alternatives you can look at is the Drunkdeer HE keyboard: drunkdeer.com/ I've heard good things about it but I haven't personally tried it.

[@DualityGG]

thx appreciate it @@Jaeky

[@dripskydrip]

Do you mind sharing which settings do you drive these keyboards on?

[@Jaeky]

1mm actuation, 0.1mm rapid trigger. Same as my Wooting.

[@tomwind666]

Are you able to remove and change out switches like on the Wooting?

[@rinnoX1]

yes of course

[@sakxra3772]

W keyboard

[@Altamimi911]

Its faster than wooting?

[@Jaeky]

No, it seems about the same.

[@entetogo5390]

ISO supported?

[@nazul9502]

But.. the keyboard is iso in the video? You can tell by the left shift key being long

[@entetogo5390]

That means I can put a ISO De layout on it without having problems? Sorry I’m new in the keyboard business

[@gridgd]

​@nazul9502 that's ansi, not iso. iso is the EU layout with the larger enter key.

[@entetogo5390]

@@gridgdthat means it’s not ISO supported

@@entetogo5390 i was replying to nazul9502.

[@TechManG]

Is it a soft typing experience/flexy?

[@Jaeky]

Hard typing since the plate is alu.

[@empiur]

If you're looking for flex, an HE board is not a good idea. iirc HE/magnetic switch boards are more sensitive and flex would cause issues with these boards.

[@xander2kk]

​@@empiur correct, since the magnetic switches react to the smallest of movements, it would create a lot of incorrect readings

[@geraldsalas3213]

can you make a zoom75 w LCD using boog he module? i love zoom75 w/ LCD but hope thay have HE module

[@geraldsalas3213]

can you add lcd screen in boog75 like the zoom75?

[@poppy69420]

Wooting is falling behind imo cause you need a bunch of mods to make wooting feel and sound good. It does have more features but feel and sound is more important than maybe 1 or 2 extra niche features

[@hellokat1111]

feel and sound is secondary compared to the latency performance.

[@chickencoopououwu2584]

@@hellokat1111 That is personal, and logically speaking, should be the opposite. The wooting feels like utter garbage if you care about feel and sound. But latency? Buddy be honest with yourself, regardless whether you care or not, regardless of how much of a difference there is, you can't tell, your keyboard isn't the reason you're hardstuck [insert your rank here].

[@wenzasuno1034]

lmao wooting fanboys

[@shirataki7447]

@@chickencoopououwu2584thats the entire point of wooting though. it wasnt made to feel and sound good. it was made to have uncompromised performance, which it does. there is no keyboard faster and more consistent than the wooting, even though they may sound and feel better
