Introduction

KiiBOOM is, in the brand’s own words, a collective of hobby enthusiasts from all over the world with varied interests, including of course China where it is actually based out of. I first heard of the brand a couple of years ago when it first launched and a representative from KiiBOOM helped clarify that KiiBOOM will cover both keyboards (Kii) and audio (BOOM), which works nicely for the review categories I cover here. In fact, KiiBOOM even had two IEMs as its debut products, although they have already been discontinued to no surprise of anyone who’s familiar with the ruthless IEM industry operating out of China currently. I’ve tried out a few KiiBOOM keyboards recently when I was in Shenzhen, and one interested me enough to agree for a full review.

The KiiBOOM Loop75 is, as the name suggests, a 75% form factor keyboard. It uses a full aluminium chassis, although there’s a twist here which you will see on page three of this review. KiiBOOM also has a dedicated volume knob—almost a must-have for keyboards lately—with a gasket mount design and open-source firmware support too. The Loop75 comes in two color options, with the red/black seen above and KiiBOOM sending the blue version in for a closer examination. It offers hybrid wireless connectivity with RGB lighting and hot-swappable switches, which should help anyone who wants to try different switches from the first-party ones used on the keyboard. Note that some places add a space in the product name, referring to the keyboard as Loop 75, but that’s still the exact same keyboard we have here. Let’s begin the review with a look at the product specifications in the table below. Thanks to KiiBOOM for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp!
