Meletrix has made some of the best pre-built and affordable custom keyboards of the last two years, and it’s back with its first magnetic Hall Effect release with the BOOG75. Based on the outstanding Meletrix Zoom75, it’s the best magnetic switch mechanical keyboard so far this year and is poised to be the best overall.

At $219.99, it’s a steal.
