That is basically all I can say about it. I have had it for a few days, (will update if needed) and I already love it! Typing on it is so comfortible and feels like pillows on your fingers. The actuation force is perfect in my opinion and the clicky clacky sound is so satisfying (especially coming from a quiet membrane keyboard). I didnt really use the number pad at all so this tenkeyless keyboard is really nice for saving space. I got the fully RGB edition for $59.99, and it was definitely worth it! Right when I picked up the box I knew it is very good quality because of the weight. I took it out of the box and it felt really nice to the touch, and seems like it should be atleast $100. It also looks amazing with the RGB leds with all of the awesome different functions and colors. I was just using a membrane keyboard and have never had a mechanical keyboard before, nor have I even felt one. Already, I can tell I am in love with mechanical keyboards, I am typing this review with the keyboard right now and I dont want to stop typing because it feels sooo good! If you are looking for a fairly cheap mechanical keyboard, go with this one! It is definitely worth every penny, plus some. I would recommend if you like having different colored backlighting on your keyboard and have $60 to spend, then go with the RGB edition. I hit FN + end twice and customized the leds to the Seahawks colors. Go hawks! I did free shipping because I wasnt in a rush to get it (even though I wanted it as soon as possible) and it came in just about 7 days/1 week. Im sorry for the length of this review (if you are even reading this anymore please click the helpful button below) and I guess im gonna have to stop typing on this keyboard for now:( Anyway, I very highly recommend this keyboard! Have a good day. Review: Get this over the black version. Great entry mechanical keyboard - If you're on this product page, you have most likely seen the more popular black version with more reviews. Well, I'm here to tell you that this is the better buy between the two and I'll tell you why. Unlike the black colored variant that most people are buying, this comes with additional Outemu Blue switches and a keyswitch puller. This keyboard features Outemu Blue switches, which are Cherry MX clones. However, I've noticed these switches are not the same as other Outemu Blues I've seen on other keyboards. They feel a bit scratchy, but you can put in any switch you want if you don't like them (more on this later). They have some studs around the little cross, but this doesn't seem to have any purpose. If you want to get custom keycaps, they should work, but with one issue. The right shift key is an unusual size, making it hard to find a compatible keycaps set. Your best bet is to either find a white keycap set so that the shift key doesn't stand out too much or find some way to create your own keycap for that right shift. The main reason why I recommend this keyboard is because it features hot-swappable keyswitches. With the included keyswitch puller, you can pull out the switches and put in a different MX style switch and it'll work, no soldering needed. Why would you want such a feature? One reason is that this eliminates one point of failure. If a keyswitch stop working, just take it out (they do include 5 spare switches). Or if you want to try a different switch but don't want to spend $40+ on another keyboard, you can buy a bag of switches for as low as $30 (price depends on the manufacturer of the switch). One thing to keep in mind is that the holes for the pin on the switches are smaller than standard cherry pins, so you will need to file down the pins on your switches before installing them. Let's talk about the design of the keyboard. The keyboard uses a detachable micro-USB cable. This means you can get a new cable if the stock cable breaks or get a nicer cable. The cable that comes in the box is a pretty stand thick gray cable with no-frills. There are 3 channels for the cable to go through, the sides and straight out the back. One thing the white version of this keyboard has over the black variant is that the LED appears to be much brighter and more vivid. This is because the backplate reflects the lights much better than a black surface does. This creates a nice under-glow and more even lighting compared to the black version. The backplate appears to be a solid piece of aluminum, which makes the keyboard feel very sturdy and a more premium. The housing appears to be PBT plastic, but I can't tell for sure since it doesn't have any indicator. As for the keycaps, it has that really awful gamer font that many budget mechanical keyboard uses. They're doubleshot ABS, not laser-etched as the product description states, which is good. This means that the legends will not fade away, but because they are abs this means they are prone to shining. With my black Z-88, the spacebar already has a bit of wear on the right side after 3 weeks of use. The lighting effects are pretty good for the price. It's not a "true" RGB keyboard as it only has a small number of colors to choose from. However, with these colors, I am sure you'll find one that matches your setup. I was surprised to see that the white color mode is actually pretty white compared to other RGB keyboards where the white would be a blue or a bit pink. There are 10 lighting modes to choose from, I have uploaded a video showing these. Overall this is a great keyboard for those who are looking at getting a mechanical keyboard but don't want to spend a lot of money to find a good one. ## Features - ❤ Hot Swappable Blue Switches ▶ Cherry MX blue equivalent, Metal plate-mounted switches designed for longevity, responsiveness, and durability.

I use it on my Xbox but u have to have it actually plugged into one of the consoles USB ports or it won’t work, just saying cause I was out of ports when I got this keyboard and tried using a usb hub with multiple USB ports but it didn’t work **Q: For this brown switch keyboard can be change their keycaps for a different custom keycaps cherry mx ?** A: YES **Q: Can I switch the keycaps, like any key cap?** A: You can to a point. The Right Shift key is actually a half size. Key cap set I ordered didn't work out because of that, so I left the factory black keys on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST RGB KEYBOARD YOU CAN GET FOR THE PRICE!!!!!! *by H***H on May 27, 2020* This keyboard is amazing!

I haven't had any problems with the Brown switches -- they are clicky enough to feel feedback but not too much to the point of being obnoxious. While I wish the RGB was programmable, there are enough pre-programmed effects to keep you satisfied (keep in mind there are only 7 options for solid colors (Red-Orange, Green, Royal Blue, Yellow, Hot Pink, Sky Blue, and White). The white & aluminum finish is beautiful, and this is one of the few white 60% keyboards that still manage to fit in arrow keys. You won't regret this purchase! UPDATE 1: After several months of using this keyboard, I notice one issue that is worth mentioning but does not change my initial review. Every few months, one of the keys (usually the keys I use frequently for gaming) will become faulty. It will not register every click and either requires cleaning or replacement. Luckily, a few replacement switches have been provided which I have swapped in without issue. However, I'm starting to run out and will eventually need to buy more replacements or another board. Amazon has replacements for 20 keys/$11 so it's not a huge deal and doesn't change the overall value of the board too much. Update 2: Still giving this 5 stars as everything I said above holds true, but you definitely start to feel the cheapness of the switches over time. I noticed after a year of use that I was never really typing at the level of accuracy I desired. I also felt I was pressing keys much harder than I wanted to which prevented me from getting a gliding flow while writing for long periods of time. The amount of pressure needed to register a keystroke even began to hurt my wrists over time. I believe this is due to Outemu switches being far less smooth than something like Gateron. I also wanted to go wireless as it was much easier for cable management. I upgraded to the Anne Pro 2 which is a much better typing experience with improved features. If you have the extra ~$50 to spend I might recommend something like that or the Ducky One 2 Mini. ## Frequently Bought Together - HUO JI E-Yooso Z-88 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Metal Panel, Blue Switches - Clicky, Compact 81 Keys Hot Swappable for Mac, PC, Silver and White - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core, 12-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Stealth cooler - Kingston NV2 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe Internal SSD | PCIe 4.0 Gen 4x4 | Up to 3500 MB/s | SNV2S/1000G --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/37057025-z88rgb81-white](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/37057025-z88rgb81-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
