Review on MechanicalEagle Z-77 75% Mechanical Keyboard Aluminium Panel Clicky Blue Switches Rainbow LED Backlit N-Key Rollover 87-Key Tenkeyless Hot Swappable Spare Switches Included by Eric Trask

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you're looking for cheap, bright and clicky - Here it is.

Got this keyboard for the 'how swappable' functionality. Sadly the hot swaps on the PCB are simple holes that are unsoldered, not the quality clips from other boards. The LEDs are also assigned, meaning that the top row is always red and the bottom row is always pink. This is different from what I thought as I watched a YouTube review that had the black RGB model. The primary difference is that the RGB model has multi-color addressable LEDs. It's about $10 more at that time of me writing this and well worth it. Why? Because if you wish to swap out the switches, odds are you're also going to be changing the keycaps and will want the lighting to support your colorway.Pros:- Good weight feels nice and solid.- Switches are solid and sound fairly nice.- Brushed aluminumis real and not a sticker- adjustable feet.CONS:- not RGB, no silver version available for RGB.- fixed cable.- color modes are not interesting- While it is hot-swappable, I wouldn't put quality switches into this PCB as they could be damaged.
