INTRODUCTION
Few peripherals impact the day-to-day computing experience as much as a keyboard. While processing power and display technology often grab the headlines, the device sitting beneath our fingertips ultimately defines how we interact with our systems. The keyboard market has expanded dramatically over the last decade, introducing a wide variety of form factors and technologies. Users can now choose between membrane and mechanical switches, wired or wireless connectivity, compact or full-size layouts, and a growing list of premium features designed to improve comfort, responsiveness, and typing acoustics. Among the most popular layouts is the TKL format, which removes the numeric keypad to create a more compact footprint without sacrificing essential functionality. Τhe IQUNIX EC75 Shadowblade aims to deliver exactly that balance while adding its own take on modern mechanical keyboard design.
