I bought one of these on ebay a few weeks ago for the same price shipped. Stock, I'd give it a 6/10.

However, I got it to specifically swap the switches for Gateron Yellow KS9 Pros, and popped on some white doubleshot keycaps I had laying around. If you're even slightly interested in building a (semi)custom keyboard, you will not find a better value 100% layout with an aluminum plate and volume roller/knob, period.

If the type of switches you like are 3-pin, you cannot go wrong with this board.
Here is a video with it in action. Hope it helps.

FLOP or NOT? EVGA Z15 Review [youtube.com]
Funny, because Logitech has been slipping since the early 2000s.

If it helps any, EVGA doesn't actually manufacture this keyboard. It's just a rebrand.

$35 for an RGB (real) mechanical keyboard is a good deal, period.

Or you can just clip off the two extra pins with cutters like I did lol. The two extra pins are just plastic and I haven't had any problems after clipping them

People still buy wired keyboard nowadays? Why

If it just stays in your desk and you can manage the cable then why not? The addition of a Bluetooth radio in this unit might cause it to cost $5 more, making it less slick for those who don't need that.

I have a corsair with cherry brown switches that is a bit older and frankly the keys have started to come off randomly. Would this be a good replacement?

This was never worth $130. Just another inflated MSRP to make the "deal" look better.

Z15 and Z20: Sometimes, keys don't come back after pressing the keys. It feels like something is holding keys. And other issues.
Z20: Size of key is smaller than normal keyboards. You can press Marco keys accidently a lot.

I have been using this for the last few days.

It's got some good features, but overall, I REALLY dislike the linear switches.

Pros
Decent build quality-aluminum top plate is pretty good for $35
Volume control and media controls
Decent rgb choices
Keycaps feel alright

Cons
The linear switches just don't feel accurate. I either actuate the key when I don't want to or don't actuate the key when I do. If I don't get used to them soon, I'm probably going to go back to my keyboard with optical switches.

35$ is a steal for this thing, i haven't seen a hot swappable keyboard for this cheap, Even if you don't like out of the box performance of these switches, you can swap em out for ones that you do and that's where I see the value in this keyboard. EVGA software kind of sucks but you sort of set the RGB how you like and then delete it off your system(that's what i did).

I'm super iffy to spend another $40 just to replace the switches in this one.

I am not a keyboard snob, but I DO own several of them. Prior to this I bought mostly brown or blue equivalents (I have one that has hako clears which I really love and hate all at the same time) , so maybe I just need to get used to the linear style ones.

But I just dunno. I've never typed so inaccurately when I've gotten a new keyboard prior to this one.

The speed silvers would be a big change from the browns, but you could always return it or swap the switches if you don't like it. Mine came in today and they feel fine coming from cherry reds.
