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

I was pretty pumped up to find a mechanic keyboard for this price, so I decided to give it a shot, and went ahead and bought it. For any of those interested, I went for the brown switches. Ive had it for six months at this point, and have been using it as my main keyboard for all that time. When I bought it, I knew I had to keep my expectations as low as the price tag is, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. My first impressions were pretty good, with my only complaint with it at the time being the keycaps. They are big enough to put a strain on my wrists when typing for long sessions, which I have to do as I am in college, and constanly typing reports or essays, as well as code. This was solved with a wrist rest, and I foolishly thought that the worst had passed. Oh, how wrong I was. I play videogames during my free time, and tend to use the WASD keys the most. Well, two months after receiving the keyboard, I noticed my W key would stop working when I was running or walking forwards in a game at random times, making me have to press it again to continue moving. At first this happened sporadically, a few times a week at most. But over the next few weeks this happened more and more, and not just during game time, but while I was typing stuff. I would try and type words with the letter W in it, and the letter would not appear until I practically smashed the key. At first it was a minor inconvenience, but quickly became a major issue that disrupted my workflow. Finally after two and a half weeks of having this problem, I thought enough is enough and went ahead and replaced the faulty switch with one of the 5 spares they send with the keyboard. As soon as I did that, the problems stopped. For around 3 weeks everything worked fine again, until it didnt. It was the A key this time. Same exact pattern. Random switch malfunctions that got more and more frequent. This time I didnt wait, after a week of having problems with the A key I went ahead and swapped the switch for a new one. Everything worked fine again. For a month, give or take. Same issue, this time the S key. Waited a few days to see if it was a fluke (spoiler alert: it wasnt), then replaced it, only for the D key to start acting up a few days later, so I also had to replace that one. It took only a week from that point for my W key to start malfunctioning again, and there went my last replacement switch. Its been roughly one and a half months since that last replacement, and in that time, the W, A, and S keys are once more malfunctioning constantly, with only the D key seemingly working fine (hope I didnt jinx it by saying that). And before you ask, I checked all of the malfunctioning switches with a multimeter right before writing this review, because I had a hunch. And guess what, I was right. The switches work just fine. I am sure the problem Ive had could be solved by just soldering the switches to the PCB, as Im certain that it comes down to the switches loosing contact with the PCB because of poor switch holders, but my question is, why is this keyboard hot swappable in the first place? This keyboard has 82 switches, and a decent enough switch pack, like a 90 switch gateron red pack will set you back $25, which is more than half the price of the keyboard. Meanwhile, if you go for a 90 switch pack of CherryMX reds, thats $50, 10 more than the keyboard itself. For those prices you may as well buy a fully assembled 70 or 90 dollar keyboard, and probably get more out of it. What Im trying to say here is that theres no point in upgrading the switches in this keyboard, and so the hot swap feature is completely useless, and makes this keyboard a joke. In summary, if you dont mind soldering the switches to the PCB right after pulling the keyboard out of the box, then go for it, but otherwise dont bother.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I love the clackyness of it. I dont know the different types of switches or anything, so theres my knowledge on mechanical. I was looking at this keyboard because Im a girl with small hands, and I play games casually and I know theres hype around mechanical keyboards, so I went searching for something small and clacky.. only after I spilt tea all over my CM Devastor keyboard, which is another reason I looked at this keyboard, its waterproof! At first, the clacky noise is loud, only cause Ive never had a keyboard like this, and it was annoying to my roommates but they can deal. My small hands fit soooo nicely on this keyboard, and can actually reach all the keys, and I make so little mistakes as compared to the full size keyboard I had, so everything I couldve asked for is answered with this keyboard. Oh and I figured out pressing FN + PG DN cycles the different light modes, which I didnt see in the instructions? Maybe I looked over it but oh well. My favorite is the solid light mode, with the purple/lavender color ~ All that being said, Ive had the keyboard for about a month now, and I have no complaints so far!

Perfect size, but I sometimes hit the windows key when I’m in the middle of a match. If you get this I recommend getting one of those wrist rests to elevate your hand and prevent it from hitting any keys while playing.

The device is illumination at keys operable. The style has a minimal parts aspect in an American wider market, of cheaper cost and quality, and not price cheap knock offs of bigger volume unit sales. The smaller number of keys is different. This keyboard forces the user of several different keyboards to developing keyboard gun for hire muscle memory adaptation capacity. This keyboard like recently other ordered are durable in the time I am used so far. Will advise as things happen. The keyboard along with others ordered arrived without damage and within estimated of delivery time.

Got this specifically for the linear red switches, and you know, its not that bad! I was expecting something horrible given the price, but really - its surprisingly good! Linear motion doesnt feel scratchy or wobbly, and the metal backplate behind the keycaps gives the whole thing a very solid feel. My next upgrade for this thing will probably be to dampen sounds - even with the red switches Im getting a ton of resonance from the base. No, the RGB isnt addressable, but its vibrant with great color and some pretty cool patterns. Id prefer a different font for the keycaps but at least they appear double-shot. I think this is gonna be a great beginner start for me, and Im gonna make improvements along the way.

HUO brand the new kid on the block let’s see what we can expect with this budget mechanical keyboard. Now when you first receive this product it comes in a basic cardboard box with a eagle label on the box, I mean what do you expect for 45 bucks. Opening up the box we are granted with the keyboard first at the top with a manual pretty basic then we get into the accessories. You get a key cap puller, switch puller, and 5 extra switches I ordered blues so in my case I am getting 5 extra blue switches. The switches are branded outemu and have a lifespan of 50 million clicks I got blues and these are actually a little bit more clicky than cherry mx blues. The rgb lighting is pretty bright nothing like spotlights but bright enough for my liking. Moving on to the cable it is about 6-6.5ft in length and has micro usb on one end and usb type a on the other end and is not braided the cable is removable and underneath the keyboard are cable management slits to ether have your cable coming out of the middle, left, or right side. Overall great experience and this will be my new keyboard. PROS: Cheap, good rgb lighting, removable cable, long cable, aluminum backplate for durability, and function keys. CONS: Cable is not braided, no software control. Just my opinion I know this is a cheap keyboard but I would love to see a braided cable on this keyboard.

Its a beautiful and perfectly nice keyboard except that occasionally a key will just ghost for no reason - the keycap is seated well, Im pressing the switch etc. Changing to heavier keycaps resolved the majority of this but I still very rarely encounter the issue, whereas on other mechanical keyboards Ive never had a ghosting issue. If you have a light touch like me and need absolute precision you may want to be sure to get this model with tactile/clicky switches and/or third-party keycaps to minimize any potential ghosting.

El producto cumplió con las espectativas, fue un regalo y quede bien con la persona. Increíble la cantidad de variaciones de iluminación led que se le puede configurar, y lo mejor que se pueden cambiar tanto las teclas como los switches.

Great lighting, kinda confusing controls, doesnt transfer lighting to PC to PC so if you want a certain animation you have to cycle through the options again. Keys feel very nice and satisfying, and the build quality is perfect. The nice big and thicccccccccc font is easily readable and the lighting is perfect. Very compact, making it easy to bring to tournaments. The cable isnt braided or USB-C which is a bit disappointing, because the cable routing will ruin the cable if moved

Before ordering this keyboard, I checked the size against my current gaming keyboard. Keys are exact same size, but the extra sections (numberpad, etc.) are removed. That makes it much easier to switch over to using this keyboard. Since using it, I can state that my typing accuracy is up slightly and gaming accuracy has improved. The keyboard has N-key rollover, which is a huge advantage for any gaming keyboard. Many keyboards state that they are mechanical feeling or something along those lines to catch customers searching for mechanical. The reason many customers want mechnical is for N-key rollover. That means the user can press several buttons at once and have all of them trigger at the same time. This is well beyond anti-ghosting. Anti-ghosting = Press several keys together and you wont get a random key you didnt press. N-key rollover = Press several keys together and every key is logged as a unique function. For instance, the section below is holding down several keys at the same time: asdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiopasdiop Zero keys were lifted. That is six separate keys being pressed at precisely the same time and each being monitored separately. The other thing to report is that my mouse shoulder condition improved significantly because Ive been able to keep the keyboard and mouse closer together. That means less pain in the back, neck, shoulder, and arm because Im able to keep the mouse hand closer to the body. A large keyboard with a big number pad on the righthand side pushes the mouse too far away. This smaller keyboard removes that strain, but still has all the same size for the keys.
