IQUNIX SUPER Nature 80 Aura Mechanical Keyboard Kit Review
The IQUNIX SUPER line-up has been one of the most pleasant surprises in the world of custom mechanical keyboards over the last year. We’ve reviewed three so far — the 1+1, the ZONEX75, and the Tilly60 — and each has taken a unique approach to its layout and design, making them some of the most unique custom mechanical keyboards you can buy outside of the group buy model. They also come mostly pre-built and tuned for sound and feel, so you don’t need to be an experienced builder to assemble them.
The Nature 80 Aura is a keyboard kit I’ve been looking forward to for months. Since I first discovered the SUPER line-up, I’ve been in contact with IQUNIX on when I would be able to try it for myself. It’s a tenkeyless with a traditional, easily accessible layout but a very unique two-part case. It threads the needle between retro and modern, its wide bezels reminiscent of old PCs while the wraparound bottom case is distinctly 2024. Now that I have it in hand, it’s exactly what I hoped for. With tri-mode wireless and full programmability, it’s great for gaming too.
At $289 for the barebones kit and $319 with switches, it’s not cheap, but in the world of custom keyboards that are ready to ship today, it manages to feel like a good value and a worthy investment.
