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.

This was never worth $130. Just another inflated MSRP to make the "deal" look better.
One five second check on camelcamelcamel would have prevented you from posting this.

Quote from XDecker :
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.
Then don't, Kono has a sale [kono.store] going on now for Kailh blues or browns, 10 for $2

Quote from XDecker :
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.
Are you sure it's not the speed aspect causing you issues and not linears? I prefer linears (reds) but speed switches I hate, way too easy to accidentally press. Even once you get used to them it's very easy to make typos.

Quote from MaxHa :
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.

I'm a tactile and clicky fan (saying that as I type this on Gat Ink Black linears lol), and I know these silvers will be way to light to actuate. I tried reds and my typos skyrocketed. Probably gonna pull them after a quick test run and flip them on FB marketplace for $20

Fair warning if ordering from Amazon, expect delayed delivery. I ordered one on July 7th, and am still waiting. Stated delivery date is currently "Arriving Thu, Aug 11" on their site.

i have this keyboard. got not very long ago.
for around $50.
I come from using cheap wireless logitech keyboards

cons i found so far.
cant do custom RGB
silver switches are sensitive. If I rest my fingers on keys sometimes it presses keys.
the media keys are flat and i find hard to see if the keyboard is in front of you.

That's not a bad price, but it's still an additional ~$20.

This keyboard may end up going to my "backup" pile and I'll just return to using one of my other ones.
All of them kind of have cons.

The dark matter optical one I have I love the switch feel but the keys caps are cheap and the build quality is meh.

The Hexgears supernova has great build quality but the hako clears are, while good, pretty "heavy" feeling for me.

I have a RK BT one that has decent switches and great build quality but it's a 60%

I'm fussy, what can I say? 😂

You can customize the RGB, per key if you want (go to Lighting Effect > Custom and then click the picture at the top of the keys you want to select for that layer), however the software isn't the best at remembering which profile to use, so you may need to activate it again after a restart.
As far as the switches go, yes they are speed switches, which means they are designed for gamers and quick activation. You may need to look for other switches that accommodate your preferences.

I have this keyboard and it's great when I got it for about ~$50. The logo is the most polarizing part of this, if anyone can go past that, this price is really good.

I got one just because this is a fully functioning keyboard and I bought switches ONLY, or keycaps ONLY that are twice the price of this device. I got it not for daily driver, but mostly as a test bed, and spare parts.

Had my first USB issue and unistalled the software to see if that will prevent it the next time. Also I looks like you need to wait sometimes for your sytem to fully boot before pressing any keys.
