HUO JI Z-88 PRO RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Blue Switch, LED Backlit, Water Resistant, E-Yooso 60% Compact 81 Keys Anti-Ghosting for Mac, PC, Black

I have tested many keyboards over the past years and honestly this is one of my least favorite keyboards... usually I test a keyboard for about a week before I publish a review on it but I cannot even get through a day of work with this keyboard. The keys are way too stiff (nothing like original cherry blue or even clones) and they are not very responsive. Even as I type this review I constantly have typos and missing letters.... Unless I basically bottom out the keys the often do not respond and there is much more weight to these vs a standard blue key. I literally just took a blue key keyboard off my desk to try this one out just yesterday and it was nothing like this keyboard at all. As far as things like gaming.... its just a 0/5 because having non responsive keys or needing to bottom out full sized mechanical keys with long travel is horrible for gaming. For typing I literally write at around 30wpm on this vs 100+ WPM (on a slow day). The experience is horrible and also hurts my wrists because of how much I have to press the keys down in order to actually make sure they activate. The Backlight isnt too bright either... not that it really matters. The layout is kinda weight as pg Dn is right above the left arrow. However it is definitely something that can be gotten used to and I appreciate the inclusion of some keys in a small form factor. The addition of USB-C is nice too as I dont have to use their cable and if the cable breaks I can just get another one. I have tested other keyboards from this company before and they werent bad like this one is.... Overall they could have made something great with the right switches but these switches are just a no-go. The fact that they include extra ones in the package shows that the switch quality is not expected to be very high. Overall very uneven in terms of actuation distance and key stability. Just avoid it in its current state.... it is literally amazing to me to see other vine reviewers give this keyboard 4 or 5 stars and claim that these keys are ANYTHING like Original Cherry Blue Keys. They are not even like Blue Clone keys that come on some other smaller keyboard brands...

Theres alot to love about the HUO JI Z-88 PRO RGB mechanical keyboard. The layout is extremely compact yet fully functional. No sacrifices were made, and you dont feel like youre using a cramped, space saving keyboard. Arrow keys are default and do not require another layer to use them. The blue switches on the keyboard I ordered are on par with name brand switches, and dont produce a metallic ping sound as you type like many other generic switches and keyboards do. Compared to CherryMX Blue switches, these present with slightly less resistance required for actuation, which is typical for all generics. For generic switches, especially blues, these are stabilized better than most Ive used. The keyboard has a detachable USB-C to USB-A cable, which is another feature that allows it to stand out from the crowd among similarly priced keyboards. The keycaps used are fantastic - textured, PBT doubleshot with no chance of development a shine. The legend is pretty large, although very crisp and well suited for showcasing the RGB lighting effects. BOTTOM LINE: This keyboard really surprised me by having one of the most functional compact layouts I have seen so far. This, coupled with the fact that there is no ping sound as you type, and the detachable cable on an RGB keyboard with quality caps, make this a terrific choice for anyone looking for a mechanical keyboard that wont break the bank. Highly recommend it. 5-stars.

This is a colorful keyboard! It’s RGB with blue optical switches under the key caps. It also comes with extra mechanical switches. This keyboard is lightweight, which makes it portable and ideal for gaming. It has 14 different styles of colors for a fun gaming experience. This keyboard has a kickstand which helps elevate it to accommodate different positions of your wrist. This is a good choice for a keyboard and I recommend it with no reservations.

Comes with blue switches, which are very loud. I like the form factor as a 75%. Comes with detachable USB-C cable.

Again e-yooso delivers a keyboard worth every dollar. Swap out some good switches and pbt caps and you have a board that rivals $120+ options. If they sold this board bare bones for $20 theyd make a killing. Ktt Kang white v3 linear switches Clipped and lubed stabs Bandaid and tape mods Poron switch pads.

The Z-88 Pro is a great entry level mechanical keyboard that has surprisingly decent build quality for being such a budget level board. The case and plate are made from plastic and the keycaps are not pbt but still feel relatively good, the font is quite gamery but is still legible and decent looking. The rgb backlight is really well done on this board and I would say the light quality is comparable to that of a razer product, although it doesnt have the software customizability. The 75% layout allows you to keep the function row, and arrow keys while still being fairly small and leaving plenty of space for mouse movement. The outemu switches are a great budget switch and feel fairly decent, the outemu hot swap feature is quite nice and allows you to switch to browns or reds. Overall I would say that the Z-88 pro is a great entry mechanical keyboard and if you are looking for your first mechanical keyboard this would be a great option.

Small form factor and satisfying mechanical clicks. No complaints.

The keys on this keyboard are nice and solid. If youre looking for the clacking sound of the old fashioned keyboards, youll definitely get it here. Instead of being static, the colors cycle and flow across the keyboard. It looks really cool. I switched to this style because I never use the number pad. This way, the keyboard takes up a lot less desk space. Whats interesting is that this thing is on the heavy side. Not sure why. Not a big deal, it actually helps keep it from sliding around on the desk.

This key board is very good for gaming, it is small so it doesnt take up your whole desk space or crowd your mouse. The main issue I had with it is that the wire was not long enough to reach my computer so I ended up having to buy a longer one. It comes with extra keys which is nice because you can easily replace one if it breaks.

I like the click of a nice mechanical keyboard and this is a good one. The keyboard is responsive for regular typing and gaming and Ive found no issues when typing rapidly. We have a gamer in the household and they approve of it. As should be expected, this is a loud keyboard so it isnt great if someone else is in the same room trying to listen to a movie or concentrate on something. But that just goes along with the blue switches, so no issue here. We have more expensive keyboards too and this is on par with them. The font on the keyboard is modern/gamer, so it can be hard to read. I cant easily tell the symbols next to the numbers and those below the function keys are small and unclear. Generally its fine and only an issue when you want to do something unusual. You can access the functions below the F-Keys by holding down the FN key at the same time - this lets you do things like control a media player, open some applications, and other standard features of an extended keyboard. It is a bit wider the the most narrow keyboards because there is a row along the right with Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, but I think these are important enough to spend the room on. FN and the PgDn or arrow keys adjusts the keyboards lighting. PgDn takes you through 14 modes. Most are blinking and flashing in one way or another, there are a few that are static (one shown in the picture), and three that respond to a keypress by having it light up or colors emanating from the key. This is nice - our other keyboards have fancy software and much more customizability, but then there is this extra software running on the computer to make these work. This keyboard doesnt require software or drivers and I like it nice and simple. For gaming, it might be an excellent keyboard. The gamer in my family says it is low profile. But, as shown in the pictures above, the keyboard is thick and the key travel large so without a wrist-rest (none is included) you either have to hold your arms up when you type or you have a hard upward angle at the wrist and arched fingers. So if you also plan to type with this keyboard, it quickly becomes tiring/aching. My wrists are complaining about now as I write this review. My normal keyboard is much lower and more comfortable. If you dont mind the height of the keys, this is a great value. If the height and the font is an issue, it may not be for you.
