HUO JI E-YOOSO Z-19 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with True RGB Backlit, 5 Pin Hot Swappable Blue Switches, Number Pad, Pro Software Supported, Wired Compact 94 Keys for PC/Computer, Black Grey

As a gamer, video editor and photographer I can say that it has a really nice feel. I was looking for a keyboard to game and edit on that had the numpad and the F-X bar. As a game I have a custom keyboard on my left near the screen so I needed something compact that would fit between my arms with everything on it. This was perfect.

Seriously good board for 40 bucks. Ill be swapping out to Gatteron yellow and a decent set of PVT keycaps. Only drawback to this that I can see is that the USB is on the side in an awkward spot. The stabs feel lubed and the red switches feel ok but maybe a little inconsistent weight from key to key.

I love the feeling I get when I type on this mechanical keyboard. The RGB lights looks great. Real classy small keyboard!

To start off, Im a newbie with mechanical keyboards so take everything here with a grain of salt :) After having my favorite mechanical keyboard start failing after two years and it being discontinued, I decided to try something a little more customizable and compact. This is by far my favorite layout/size balance- has most of the necessary keys, but seems like its almost half the size of my old keyboard. As far as switches go, the stock Huano browns are not bad at all. I lubed them and that definitely improved the feel and sound, but I ended up replacing them with SP-Star Magic Girl tactiles (lubed as well), which I do significantly prefer. (Side note: the fact that this keyboard is compatible with 5-pin switches gave it a major leg up on the competition- I saw VERY few at this price point.) The base is solid and hefty and Ive had no issues with sound as far as that goes. I did also replace the keycaps which I feel improved the sound. With functionality, Ive had no issues with the reduced number of keys. Everything is still accessible through the function key. No issues with ghosting during gaming and all switches have worked great the whole time Ive used them. Overall, if youre looking for a good place to start out with modding your keyboard, I think this is a solid choice. The stock switches and caps will do what you need them to, and it has great compatibility for any mods you may want to do. I would buy this keyboard again if they had more color options.

I had my friends 13 year old son test this for me. He loved it. He recently put together his own gaming rig and grand parents bought him his own mechanical keyboard. He said he prefers this. Mechanical keyboards can cost easily a few hundred dollars and so this represents great value. The great thing about the keyboard is you can remove the keys and clean or even replace a key if needed. The action was positive. The lighting really good and the overall experience was extremely positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

This one’s tricky. I love it, but it’s tricky. It’s amazing to use — unlike so many affordable/entry-level keyboards which have a bit of a hollow or rattly sound to them, this sounds great right out of the box. I swapped in some thicker-walled XDA profile keycaps to see what would happen, and suddenly it’s like I never knew what good clacky sounds were until today. The brown switches on my model are what I always expect and never get: just enough of a tactile bump to keep me interested, but not enough to distract me. There’s enough metal in here for the unit to more than hold its own against pricier keyboards like the Drop CTRL (and it’s not nearly so fussy, but this isn’t about the CTRL). That said, the layout is a little cramped for my tastes (and this is more a me thing than an issue with the product, so I’m not dropping the rating). There’s no separation whatsoever between the number pad and the main body of the keyboard, so if you’re used to TKL or full-sized boards, this is going to trip you up at first. Get this if you can deal with having your numpad mashed up against the arrow keys, you want a solid hefty board with excellent build quality, and you struggle with the acoustics of most budget boards.

This is a great budget keyboard with tons of potential.- I love building and remodeling keyboards and this is a great keyboard to start with. It has a ton of customizable rgb lighting sequences, has hot swappable key switches, and has a removable usb c plug. For the price its hard to find a keyboard with all of these features that isn’t just a cheap piece of garbage. After a tear down i have seen that the pcb is labeled well, all of the parts are of great quality and they even have the switches and stablizers pre lubed from the factory.

It says in your description “You can customize the backlit of each key as you like”. Does that mean that each key color can be individually set?

I got this keyboard because I just got my first pc and didn’t want to spend a lot for all my needed accessories. Was also looking for a condensed keyboard that still had a number pad and separate arrow keys and this was one of the few that I had seen. The ONLY complaint that I have is that the light does not shine very well through the letters or any other key but the surrounding light still gives you enough to be able to see. Besides that, amazing quality keyboard & have not had any problems and I’ve used it for either school or gaming every day since I’ve gotten it. I got the brown switches and they’re the perfect amount of click. Came with a switch puller & a key cap puller, a replacement orange spacebar & esc key cap, and a few replacement switches. The number of RGB options is a lot and each option of lighting can be changed to every single color or the full RGB spectrum. All around a great keyboard so far and will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice less expensive keyboard.

Update: the item was replaced and functions correctly. Must have just got a bad one? My only reason for not giving 5 stars now is because of the length of the cord, it could be longer. Unfortunately, only 1/2 the keyboard lights up and you cannot count on keys when pressed. The windows shortcut key worked when it wants to and some keys didnt work at all. Only some key shortcuts work SOMETIMES, the only one that worked always is turning on the backlight, which only lit 1/2 the keyboard. The keys for raising or lowering brightness, changing color etc. did not work. Additionally, the keyboard is plugged in via a removeable USB cable that is about 4 feet long, its just barely long enough to reach my pc. I have reached out to the seller to see if I just received a bad one and will update this review, but for now I cannot recommend this product. While this is a review of a free or reduced price product, it is an honest review of the product, no different than if I purchased the item at full price.
