IQUNIX MG 65/75/96 Pro Low Profile Light Feather Switch Tri-mode Aluminum Alloy Mechanical Keyboard Night Black Unboxing
Unboxing the IQUNIX MG75 Pro: Aluminum Build and Light Typing Feel for MacOS
Introduction
It’s been a long time since I wrote an unboxing post, and I didn’t have anything special to unbox. Recently, my second-hand mechanical keyboard that I’ve used for two years finally died (actually, I spilled water on it). It was a high-profile keyboard assembled by a colleague (based on the DUKHARO — VN66), probably with yellow/white switches.
Old Keyboard
Before getting into mechanical keyboards, my favorite was the Apple Magic Keyboard. I prefer low-profile switches and, as an Apple user, this one is the perfect choice.

But the feel is just like a pure chocolate keyboard—flat and without any tactile feedback.

This keyboard caught my attention because a colleague bought it shortly after I got my previous one. I tried pressing a few keys myself and confirmed it was my dream keyboard. The low-profile switches match my preference for chocolate-style keys combined with the “Light Feather Switch,” offering good tactile feedback without being too noisy. It also has a sleek appearance and a multifunction control panel. Most importantly, it comes with official MacOS keycaps. Now, I finally have the chance to get it.

Choice
MG65 does not have F-row keys, so it was not considered. The base model starts from MG75, while MG96 feels too large. The Pro features are optional, but since the price difference is small, I upgraded. The final choice — MG75 Pro.

I have to say, buying from Taobao is super convenient now. You don’t need to figure out consolidated shipping or have a Chinese account or credit card; you can pay directly online using Jkopay, Apple Pay, or credit cards. Then, the official consolidated or direct shipping delivers to your home, or you can even pick up at convenience stores.

IQUNIX MG75 Pro Low-Profile Light Feather Switch Tri-Mode Aluminum Mechanical Keyboard Night Black Unboxing
The packaging is very simple, just a cardboard box the same size as the keyboard… I was a bit worried it might get damaged, but luckily the keyboard case is hard.
Opening it reveals the keyboard storage pouch; the packaging is simply placing it directly into a cardboard box.
The official product page says it’s a new packaging that directly replaces the keyboard box with a carrying pouch (which means you get an extra case for free).
Inside the keyboard bag, you will find the keyboard itself, a manual, and accessories.
Accessories include: 2.4GHz receiver, USB-A to USB-C cable, extra keycaps, and a keycap puller.
The default keycaps are macOS style, and you can choose to replace them with the extra X aluminum keycaps for a more premium feel. The included data cable is a coiled cable that can stretch longer and is easy to store, which is a nice touch.
The back of the keyboard also has a metallic texture; the only drawback is the lack of built-in stands to adjust the tilt angle.

I directly replaced it with X.
Body Details
I didn’t notice when buying it, but there is actually a light strip on the panel that lights up.
The keycaps have a calm black matte texture, and the keyboard body is made of matte aluminum alloy, giving it a premium feel. It feels solid and practical when held.
Manual
Basically, it’s similar to all mechanical keyboards, mainly just adjusting the lighting and connection settings.
Startup Process
-
Plug the cable into the computer
-
Press and hold
FN + ESCfor more than 3 seconds to power on the keyboard (Tab backlight will flash) -
Switch to macOS key layout:
FN + Tab(Must set for macOS, otherwise CMD will require pressing CTRL) -
Set backlight:
FN + [/FN + ]/FN + Shift/FN + Enter
Actual Key Sound
Please focus on relative volume levels, as the iPhone’s microphone tends to amplify the actual volume.
Typing Feel
The sound is much deeper and quieter than before, yet it still retains the tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard. It feels quite comfortable to use so far. The downside might be that the keys on the right side are too densely packed, which takes some getting used to and can easily cause mistakes, such as pressing the Home key when intending to press Delete.
