z12 membrane, z15 mechanical, z20 optical switches
I've owned the linear switch version for a few months and its a great keyboard for that price. The lights are very bright and vivid, the app to control it is very nice, and there are a lot of brightness and pattern options. It has a roller volume control ( a MUST for me), and the macro buttons are great for gaming. The magnetic wrist pad is probably the best I've used on any keyboard.

The down sides are those macro buttons shift the keyboard over a bit, causing you to have to relearn how to type. Also the key plastic feels a bit...cheap? It's very thin and doesn't have that premium solid feel like Corsair or Razor keyboards have.

Overall I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. It's a good match with the Z20 gaming mouse if you can get a good price on it. The control app covers both.
Z15 have Kailh switches, they are mechanical too like the Z20. Z15 came with extra caps and switches in the box when I got it.

The K12 is the membrane keyboard, and has those hot keys on the left like the G110 does.

Z15 is membrane keyboard. Z20 is a mechnical keyboard and also has a gimmick (sensor to detect if you are nearby or not). Z20's switches are not hotswappable whereas the Z15 can have the switches swapped. Z20 also has a USB pass through.
Z15 have Kailh switches, they are mechanical too like the Z20. Z15 came with extra caps and switches in the box when I got it.

The K12 is the membrane keyboard, and has those hot keys on the left like the G110 does.

Just received the keyboards (linear, clicky), so far linear z20 is smooth (better than z15 kailh speed silver switch), light, close to cherry mx speed, clacky keystrokes, led bars on sides are nice, for $56 it is a yes, some people using associate codes on EVGA site for a $50 price, go amazon for easy returns

It's a fine keyboard, I've used it for about 6-7 weeks.
The app is good, you get a lot of customization options. Also, it has physical media keys and volume wheel, which is something I was looking for.
However, the surface of the keys feel a little "slippery", they also have a very short travel distance, so if you type a lot and fast you're very likely to make a lot of mistakes.
I bought it for gaming and do some coding, but it's not a great kb for coding at all.
I've been using the macro keys since the start, I've watched videos in yt for the macros and I still haven't found out how to set ">" to as a macro since it shares the same key as "<"

I've had the Z15 for a few months, updated the firmware, and it started double typing, which got annoying really quick.

Bought the Steelseries Apex Pro on sale about a week ago, been really impressed with its quality so far.
