Brazilian esports organization LOUD has reportedly claimed the VALORANT Champions 2026 title after defeating Team Vitality 3-1 in the grand final in Shanghai. The victory marks LOUD’s second VALORANT Champions championship, following its previous title in 2022. Alongside the team’s performance, its reported use of IQUNIX EV63 Hall Effect gaming keyboards has drawn attention from competitive gaming enthusiasts.
According to the supplied announcement, the LOUD roster used different editions of the IQUNIX EV63 during the tournament. The keyboard features magnetic switches, adjustable actuation, an 8,000Hz polling rate, and Rapid Trigger sensitivity adjustable down to 0.01mm. These features allow players to customize key response and adjust movement inputs for games such as VALORANT, where precise positioning and quick directional changes are important.
IQUNIX describes the EV63 as a competitive gaming keyboard designed around its Hall Effect technology and high polling rate. The company lists a 16,000Hz scanning rate alongside its 8,000Hz polling rate, giving players several settings to consider when configuring their peripherals. Rapid Trigger allows keys to reset dynamically as they move, rather than relying solely on a fixed reset point.
The announcement highlights several EV63 editions used by LOUD players. Lukxo reportedly used the EDG Edition with its black-and-gold color scheme, while tournament MVP Roberto “erde” Lobos was associated with the Ghost in the Shell Cyber Blue edition. Tkzin and Darker reportedly used the Collector’s Edition, featuring forged carbon fiber elements, while DaviH used the red-themed Red Knight edition.
“Known for its state-of-the-art 3rd-generation Hall Effect sensors, blistering 8KHz polling rates, and an industry-leading 0.01mm Rapid Trigger sensitivity,” the supplied announcement states, describing the EV63’s features.
The EV63’s compact layout leaves more desk space for mouse movement, while its magnetic switches and adjustable settings let players tailor the keyboard to their preferred playstyle. However, hardware alone does not determine tournament results; team coordination, strategy, and individual execution remain central to competitive VALORANT.
If the reported equipment details are confirmed, LOUD’s championship run provides IQUNIX with additional visibility among esports fans looking for the keyboards used by professional players. The EV63 series combines customizable input settings with several visual editions, giving competitive gamers options that suit both their gameplay preferences and their desk setups.
The EV63 EDG Edition will be the sixth colorway in the EV63 lineup, joining the Violet, Silver Knight, Dark Knight, Ghost in the Shell Core, and Ghost in the Shell Cyber Blue versions. IQUNIX has not disclosed pricing or regional availability. More information is expected closer to launch.
