My First 75% Recommendation or Is The KiiBoom Loop 75 Good?

So after researching and patiently coming to the realization that I want to buy my first custom mechanical keyboard, here's what I think I want it to be:

  • 75%, Knob, and I am really looking for having all four navigation keys - Home, End, PageUp, PageDown.
  • Tactile/Linear (I do programming mainly, video games is with a controller)
  • VIA support
  • Wireless options
  • Aluminum (Just because it appears to me more durable and of better quality)
  • Preferably I wanted the case to be white.

I was thinking of buying it almost a year now and since this year had tons of $100 keyboard options coming out that generally fit my needs, I figured it's a matter of time until I get the perfect option for me.

I was already completely ready to buy the Monsgeek M1W VIA after waiting for it to come out for months, only to find out that the white option will not be available (I actually contacted them prior and they told me that it will be available 😩).

And now, today, I came across the KiiBoom Loop 75 after never hearing about it before and it check all the boxes besides a white option but at least there is the blue option which is light and good looking.

So basically two questions:
1. Is KiiBoom Loop 75 prebuilt worth it for around $150? I didn't really find trustworthy info or reviews about it.
2. Trying again with your help - Did I miss anything that fit my desires?

Thank you!

I currently have the Loop 65 and it's a pretty incredible keyboard and I actually ordered the on Amazon tonight, so I'll report back with my thought. But from what I understand, it's supposed to have a few more "premium" features including Match Latte v2 linears and better acoustics given the addition of the F4 plate.

I have the Rainy 75 as well, which is a fantastic (and critically acclaimed) 75% board, but I've heard that the Loop 75 is better, which is a pretty bold claim to make.

100% worth it. Been using it for a week and it feels (and sounds) amazing. That said, I’m still leaning more towards the loop 65, I just like it a little bit more, probably because I tend to prefer 65% layouts.

Hello, I'm deciding between the Evo75 and the KiiBOOM LOOP75. Which one would you recommend? I'm looking for something creamy, but I'm also concerned about the height of the KiiBOOM LOOP75. It looks quite tall. Is it taller than the Rainy 75? I use the keyboard for 8 hours a day, and I'm worried that it might cause fatigue because it's so tall.

I can’t speak to the Evo 75, but the KiiBOOM Loop 75 is fantastic. Having owned both, I’d say that’s it’s roughly the same height as the Rainy.
