I review a lot of Hall Effect keyboards. And I already own the DrunkDeer A75 Pro with aluminum case which is pretty great. But now I got the Drunkdeer G75 which is a cheaper one (only $99!) at the same 75% layout, but without a knob and with a plastic case.
And with this keyboard Drunkdeer introduced the first silent magnetic switches I think on the market, because I haven’t seen any other company with these. I know Gateron is making a silent magnetic switch, but it’s still not out yet. So if you care about that then Drunkdeer keyboards are your only option for now.
I am really happy with the Drunkdeer Antler software. In the past I criticised the software, but it has come a long way and it worked great in everything I tested it for. It’s web based and you can create custom profiles and easily switch between them.
Ofcourse this is a magnetic switch keyboard, which means you will be able to use features like:
- Rapid Trigger – The keyboard responds instantly when you release a key, allowing for faster inputs during intense typing or gaming sessions.
- Last Win (Snap Tap, SOCD) – This feature optimizes input handling to ensure the most recent key press takes priority, perfect for competitive gaming or fast-paced tasks.
- Release Dual Trigger (Dynamic Keystrokes, DKS) – It enables two different actions to be assigned to a single key, improving efficiency by triggering one action when pressed and another when released.
- Adjustable Actuation Points – You can customize how far a key needs to be pressed before it registers, offering personalized comfort and responsiveness.
There’s also a Turbo Mode which minimizes the latency making it around 1ms which is on par with keyboards like Wooting 80HE or Steelseries Apex Pro Gen 3.
Silent magnetic switches
As I have mentioned before, Drunkdeer keyboards have an option of silent magnetic switches from Raesha/Drunkdeer collaboration. This is a video sound test of them. In my opinion the stock switches sound better in this keyboard vs A75 Pro or regular A75. But the silent switch option is a really great thing to have and they also sound pretty alright to me.
G75 keyboard is ofcourse hotswappable, but the con is that it only works with Raesha magnetic switches, so you can’t put there a Gateron magnetic switch or TTC Kom or any other magnetic switch.
But this is pretty much the only one major con I found after using this keyboard for more than two weeks. I really like the tray mount, it feels stable and I like to type with it.
