HUO JI E-Yooso Z-88 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Customizable RGB Backlit, Blue Switches - Clicky, Metal Panel, Wired 104 Keys for Mac, PC, Silver+White

This minimalist design mechanical keyboard has most of the features that I have been looking for. Its basically a white and silver clone of the Reddragon K556. At this low price point, its hard to ask for more. If it had standard pin pattern switches, itd be exactly what I wanted. If you have no intention of changing out the included blue switches, consider this a 5-star keyboard for this price point. Things not included but also not expected due to price: Detachable cable, braided cable, more backlight color flexibility (8 fixed colors vs. higher end chroma offerings), USB pass-through/hub for mouse dongle. Pros: 8-color backlighting with several lighting modes and ability to assign colors to specific keys, MX-compatible switches (big improvement over the ALPS-compatible switches that come with the E-Element Z-77), CIY switches for flexibility (also a con - see below), build quality seems solid, surface mount LEDs. Cons: This manufacturer keeps using Gaote-Outemo switches (this keyboard ships with blues) with a non-standard pin pattern, That means you can only swap in Gaote-Outemo switches with this specific oddball pin pattern rather than any other aftermarket switch you might want to use such as offerings from Cherry, Gateron, Kaihua, and Outemo (yeah, other aftermarket Outemos will not fit - personally verified). This seems like a pretty silly choice for a keyboard marketed as Change it Yourself/highly customizable. Im glad they at least switched over to MX-compatible stems to enable a much wider aftermarket keycap selection, but adopting a standard pin pattern on the PCB to allow for using standardized aftermarket switches from a variety of manufacturers would be fantastic. Also, the included metal tool for used for pulling the CIY switches must have been designed by a sadist (or more likely not really designed at all). It has fairly sharp edges and left my fingers pretty bruised and blistered after pulling 208 switches (104 browns from donor the keyboard and 104 blues from this keyboard). I hope a more ergonomic version of this tool becomes available in the future. I swapped in a set of Gaote-Outemo brown switches scavenged from a Redragon K556 because I prefer browns to blues. I also swapped in a set of aftermarket keycaps because I dont really like the font on the included keycaps. Keyboards I have personally confirmed to be equipped with non-standard pin pattern Outemo-Gaote switches: E-Element Z-77 (blue switch with ALPS stem) (

I love the appearance of this keyboard and the bounce back on the keys, but its not perfect. Sometimes the keys lag behind the stroke (that is, the response occasionally lags, or requires a harder press than I have done to register the stroke). The worst thing about this keyboard is it lights up if you hit a key even if the computer is off. I dont know if this is considered a feature and can be turned off (didnt read the manual outside of figuring out which light setting I wanted) but its very irritating if you have pets.

Very beautiful keyboard that fit perfectly for my fingers. For anybody wondering, the keys are white and the board itself is a silver/chrome color with white on the backside. I have the one with the blue switches which are louder and I would recommend for people that play time sensitive games like fortnite. You can hear the key activate quicker. The Lighting features are amazing as well. I love the echo setting!

I purchased this as an novice keyboard enthusiast wanting to modify her first keyboard. I was looking for cheap options in case it didnt turn out to be my thing. The blue switches this board came with were very difficult to remove without breaking them. I tried using the switch puller it came with but I wasnt able to get the switches out easily. I eventually had to result to prying them out with a flathead screwdriver. Luckily, I dont plan on using these blue switches again so I didnt have to worry about breaking them. It was quite frustrating and a little disappointing. Other than that, the keyboard works well. The lights are beautiful and it operates wonderfully with the new switches and keycaps I purchased for it.

This is the perfect rgb keyboard for me. It has minimal branding on it and is very sleek. The brightness of the rgb is awesome! And it’s perfectly “clicky” for me. I ordered the blue switch option.

Some of the keys started to act up after about 6 months. Love the keyboard, so sad to have issues!

I absolutely love this keyboard! I have a need for keyboards to sound just right and I searched for a long time and watched many keyboard review videos. This keyboard is clicky because of the blue switches and clacky! They are very easy to press and I dont see getting fatigue from this. I love playing typing racing games with this keyboard. I also play WoW with it. I like being able to set up each key with my preferred colors. - highly customizable! One bad thing, for whatever reason, the FN key doesnt light up. I changed out the switch and it still isnt working. But that doesnt cause any regrets in this keyboard. It is wonderful!

Its my first mechanical, gaming keyboard and its perfect for me. Has a great, tactile sound. I love using it while working and when gaming. The lights are perfect and can be set to individual colors or rainbows, as well as multiple different lighting setups. Its a full keyboard, simple, pretty, and the keys are super easy to remove to clean around the side. I love it. Zero complaints.

No complaints about this keyboard until it stopped working a week in. The light patterns were great, great colors and brightness but then it all stopped working. I unplugged it to organize the cables and when I plugged it back in, it no longer worked. I tried a few USB ports that are working for other devices but still no luck.

I really wanted to like this keyboard, and was looking forward to getting it. However, once I plugged it in and started cycling through the color options, I could not get a solid color or use the programmable key color feature. I tried all of the options listed in the suggestions, questions and comments, and none of them worked. Page down/FNC didnt work, -/FNC didnt work, +/FNC didnt work. I reset the keyboard to white a number of times using FNC/pause and was able to get a large number of color variations, even delete/FNC didnt give me a solid color - just more variations. To make matters worse, the F9 key and the O key were bugged. Even when reset to white, they were blue, and the O key was flashing. Its really too bad.
