HUO JI E-Yooso Z-88 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Metal Panel, Brown Switches, 75% Compact 81 Keys for Mac, PC, Silver and White

First of all, these keyboards are great. They provide super good price to performance and the lighting is amazing, I really enjoy using this keyboard and the form factor is my favorite form factor ever. However, they stop working after about 4-6 months every time. I’ve had two of these keyboards. They both have had the same problem, one key won’t work when pressed unless you hit it really, really hard. Sometimes, it works like normal, and other times, it doesn’t. On my first keyboard it was the ctrl key and on the second one the space bar. Assuming you’re buying this for gaming, the ctrl and space bar keys both are very vital keys, and not being able to use them has cost me a lot of video game losses. I can’t recommend a product that has stopped functioning twice, because there’s a very good chance it will happen again. Overall, great keyboard, but it will not last. Spend a little extra and get something higher quality. Side note: I have had a Z77 from this same brand and it works perfectly, these Z88’s however, do not.

This keyboard is so nice to type on that I was actually excited to type my five page term paper. The keys feel ok to the touch they dont feel bad but they have this texture on the keys that have these little bumps on them which bothered me at first but I got used to it. This keyboard is LOUD I was able to hear myself typing with my headphones on and my music pretty loud. If you hate loud keyboards steer clear of this one. I love loud keyboards so this perfect for me! Typing on it feels good. As for build quality Im going to give it a 7.0 it feels heavy and doesnt feel cheap but the body and the deck are made of plastic but again it feels solid. The only big complaint I have with this keyboard is that the spaces in between the keys are huge which means things are going to get in between the keys so not only will it look nasty it may stop the keyboard from functioning. Just clean the keyboard once and a while and you should be fine. One final thing I noticed is that the instruction manual is written in poor English so you may have trouble reading it if you so choose. You may also have trouble with customer service if you need it. Although Amazon has good customer service so you should be ok. Oh and I just noticed this thing said its water proof. I havent tested that and Im not going to because water and electronics dont mix.

Nice to type on and frees up a lot of space for my desk! Blue switches are nice and clicky but Id have to say it feels very different from cherry blues. Docked off one star because I didnt like how the original keys felt/sounded. I had to change the key caps to something better to my liking. Otherwise it is a great little keyboard with decent lighting styles and typing experience :) Update: after using this keyboard for a while, I do notice there is a bit of an input lag while typing/playing games. Which is odd to me since this a wired keyboard. :/ So if speed of input is important to you, I would advise AGAINST purchasing this keyboard. The lag is very noticeable, especially for games that require instantaneous inputs

i love this keyboard. it sounds great but if someone in your household has a problem with noise, then i would not get this. its small and heavier than a normal keyboard. i like that it is heavier because it wont slide as easy. they keys are all super responsive and you dont have to press down hard on them at all. the colors are great. i just wish it came with some kind of case that i could store it in while im on trips to keep the dust off, but other than that, its a great keyboard. i would definitely recommend this to a friend

I tried very hard to enjoy this product, but I had to return it because of 1) the awkward Shift key placement and 2) noise from typing. Because this is a smaller, economic-sized keyboard the size of the right shift key was compromised, and while I liked that the keyboard took up less space, I kept pressing something else. The keys themselves arent clacky like blue switches, but theres a reverb feedback from hitting the keycap against the metallic board.I thought I could ignore it, but in the end I couldnt. Overall, as much as I enjoyed its prettiness (lights are really cool and the boards white so it doesnt blend in with all the other electronics on my desk), I had to return it. Recommended if youre into flashy keyboards and dont mind constant small noises.

Solid keyboard. Half the price of an equivalent.

This is my first mechanjcal keyboard and I absolutely love it! At first I was worried that mine didnt work, but I just had to unplug the cord where it plugs into the keyboard and flip it. Might be something wrong with the cord, but it works how I put it in now! I havent tested the different light modes cause Im satisfied with the default setting! Clicks are 10/10, very satisfying and are motivational on productive days

(You might see my review twice here, because it wouldnt let me review the same keyboard with different switches and classified them both as the same keyboard, but this is my review for the brown switch variant.) So, I was in the market for my first mechanical keyboard, and while I went to Best Buy and tried several different keyboards because I was unfamiliar with all the different factors, such as switches, colors of switches, brands of switches, overall quality and things and they had only a limited supply of what I could try without bringing any home. However, most of the ones that caught my interest were normally at least $100, and I wasn’t willing to invest that much into a keyboard, so I decided to buy 5 highly recommended keyboards. NOTE: I FIGURED THAT I LIKE RED SWITCH, TKLS. They all have their pros and cons, and I decided based on my preferences which one I liked. I read many reviews that helped me decide on my purchase so I want to help anyone else looking to buy keyboards. I am not a hardcore gamer, but I play games casually for a couple hours every night but I tend to type a lot, and will use this keyboard when my laptop is at home with me. These are the boards I bought and tried: E-Element Z-88 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CMNZRKP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I also bought the brown switch version of this to see if I liked browns or not) DIERYA DK-63 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZSDYTZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 DIERYA DK-61 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZSDYTZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 DREVO Calibur V2 https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Mechanical-Keyboard-Wireless-Programmable/dp/B07ZSC6D6X?ref_=ast_bbp_dp&th=1&psc=1 Presentation 3/5 This keyboard came in a simple cardboard container that opened up nicely and everything was neatly put in with the keyboard in bubble wrap and foam to prevent the keyboard from being damaged. Simple, good enough for what it is. Quality 4/5 You can’t expect a keyboard that’s $50 to compare with one of higher brand name. The keycaps are good and have a nice feel to them when I touch them, and although some of my friends say the keycaps have a litle bit of wobble to them, I don’t find it to be much of a problem with me. I tried it compared to a Razer keyboard and it wasn’t horribly different or anything. The actual board itself is covered on top with a nice metal, but the bottom is made out of a hard plastic. I am fine with that because it reduces the weight of the keyboard and I can move it around easily if needed. This is more of a first world problem, but there is a notable small metallic “clang” of the spring after you hit a key. You might really only notice it if you’re looking for it and if you’re a heavy typer, but I don’t notice this (as much) on higher end keyboards. Outside of the weight and quality of the board on the back, there isn’t too much compromise when you compare this to a higher end board, in my opinion. Mostly the material used on the back. Another minor note which I noticed is that, as I ordered two of the same keyboards (the other one is the brown switch version of this model), I noticed that one of the keyboards’ keycaps had more of a yellowed look, while the other one had a bit of a whiter tone. Your mileage may vary, but that’s just something I noticed. I have a feeling that the switches will yellow over time if you don’t keep your hands clean, so keep that noted if you’re planning to purchase the white version. Typing 3/5 Note that this is still opinionated, and I haven’t tried every switch in the world, but I have tried several different reds, blacks, browns, and blues. These are Outemu browns, and coming from a couple of other Outemu reds (including this model) I immediately disliked the feel of the switches. However, this is purely because of my preference for smoother keys. I tested a brown Alienware switch at Best Buy and there wasn’t much difference – I just don’t like the tactile feel of the keys, without the clicky sound. It These are relatively quiet and typed alright, with that “bump” that brown switch users would be looking. The sound of the browns are more of a “clack clack” compared to the “click” of the blues. The sound primarily comes from the keycap hitting the board and the feel/sound is personally satisfying to me. The keycaps are laid out in a good position, and I’m a bit mroe comfortable now after using it for a couple of days, as I’m coming from a decent gaming laptop’s keyboard. They’re evenly spaced and I don’t make too many frustrating errors out of my control. Features 4/5 I was lured to this board because of it’s compact look and it’s white color. Also RGB. It checked all of those things. The keys are laid out well, it has all of the normal media keys, and the lighting is very good and has a slew of different patterns that are essentially shared with all RGB gaming manufacturers, if you’re into it. You have the ability to change the lighting, speed of the lighting, and it’s brightness. There wasn’t any need for software with this keyboard. The back of it has very good cable management, allowing you to lead the cable out the right, middle, or left of the keyboard depending on your setup – however, the cable itself deducted the point from this category. It’s ugly, bulky, and looks like it’s straight out from te 1990’s, even if it is type C. I’m replacing this cable as soon as possible. This keyboard shipped with a keycap remover that was pretty rudimentary and did the job. It also came with extra brown switches, although there were no spare keycaps. --------------------- I liked everything about this keyboard except for the fact that they were brown switches. Solid choice, and the “Mario” of the keyboards I’ve tested – a jack of all trades, good enough in everything I was looking for in a keyboard without any blaring cons – that is, if you’re into brown switches. I didn’t have experience with brown switches, so I gave this one a chance to try it, and if you’re into brown switches, it’s a fantastic keyboard. I bought and kept this keyboard, but the model that came with red switches. Please look at my other reviews if you’re hunting around (especially for reds). You may like something that I disliked and could deal with some of the other cons that I personally didn’t want to deal with. EDIT: I guess Amazon wont let me post two reviews on the same product page even if I bought seperate ones. I bought the reds as well and this is the keyboard that I kept out of the 5 keyboards I tried. Smooth presses, a bit scratchier than Cherry Reds, which I find satisfying. Otherwise, identical to the brown switch.

I really like budget boards that are actually quality made & performed. I picked this up in brown switches to replace my dierya dk63 that i’ve had for some time. Less than a month in, the WASD keys wouldn’t register Half the time and it was very obvious when gaming and typing. Good thing the board is hot swappable and provided extra switches but i don’t have much faith in the key switches’ lifespan. Also the stabilizers for the left shift key was rough. Very rough. It made my pinky cramp to the point where i switched back to the DK63 Even though my DK63 doesn’t have much life left. You could lube the stabilizers but at that point, id recommend looking into another board. (Unless you dont mind) Also the usb c port is kind of hard to put in and out and will only fit a certain type of usb c if you Plan on using another usb c cord. I was satisfied at first but the cons heavily outweighed the pros for me personally. In a very short time pf using. Im currently waiting for my Ducky Miya Pro so i’m excited to give away or sell this KB. Go for the DK63 or any other board

I got each of my daughters, 10 and 12 one of these white red-key RGB keyboards for their laptops, playing Roblox. What a hit that was! Probably the best happiness for the dollar of all Christmas gifts. Multiple modes that change colors and the ability to adjust speed and brightness without a driver. Base feels very solid with a thick aluminum plate under the keys to reflect the light. Only problem is now my girls want external mice as the laptop track pad is not inconvenient, but that has nothing to do with this keyboard. The keys have a slight clicking but I was going for silent. Im new to these gaming keyboards and didnt want them to be annoying on Zoom calls and such. Maybe there arent silent RGB keyboards?
