Greater than one weekThis is going to sound unreal, but I’ve had this gaming keyboard for almost 4 years now, I bought this over 3 years ago and I still use it literally everyday. You would think a keyboard like this is cheap garbage that would break in a few months or a year for sure. You’d be wrong I have literally pounded on this keyboard a dozen times and have been gentle with it in other times, I’ve cleaned it and taken care of it, and absolutely mashed the keys hard, I’ve spammed the space bar to death and clicked every button thousands if not hundreds of thousands of times, and in the end it remains perfectly working. Not one key has broken, nor one switch stuck. Not a single replacement has been done even with the provided extra switches. The durability on this keyboard is without a doubt phenomenal, it’s loud or mechanical as advertised every button click satisfying but loud. Only a few things to note to consider about this keyboard - switches are loud, but that’s because it’s a mechanical keyboard - comes with extra switches and plastic key remover - keys are a little, and I mean just a little hard to press, if you have weak fingers this isn’t the most sensitive keyboard, it’s tough for a reason Great keyboard for budget gaming and general use at that, unless you want to be able to change the sensitivity on the switches this is the board for you!

> 3 dayThis is a really nice keyboard. It feels really nice, and it looks great with its white keys. The keyboard commands allow for user based color pattern changes of the keyboard. The switches in this keyboard do not feel reliable. They give you an extra bag of keyboard switches, and I have needed them. I do use this keyboard for many hours during work, and then for an hour or so of gaming at night. I especially notice ware on the keys that I use most for gaming and work. I commonly use the D key for work, to delete things, and for gaming, to strafe right. I have replaced this key twice. I bought this in September, and it is now November. All this said, I think for the price it is great, and I believe you could buy after market switches from top brands, and still pay less overall compared to what you could have bought from them in terms of keyboards. This item is unique in its build, and for $50, it is like buying a skin in a game. It is definitely worth getting this just to upgrade to after market switches. I am planning on building a custom build, white PC, and this would go great with it.

Greater than one weekthis was my first gaming keyboard even though i am well informed on the industry i decided to take a chance as it was affordable, the keyboard has blue switches which makes it very loud i was aware of this and its fine for me but with my next keyboard i will look for something more quiet. Overall its a good mid-range keyboard and you get what you pay for.

Greater than one weekSetup: simple on Windows 10. Lights: cool with variety of options. Sound: **** yes I love this keyboard. I got rid of a large keyboard with macro keys and the number pad because I never used them and it was too much work moving from keyboard to mouse. The size is wonderful. Relearning how to find the HOME, END, DEL keys etc. without looking takes a bit of time, but I feel like Ive gained more than Ive lost. The sound and tactile feedback is wonderful. Typing just feels good. I cant quite explain it, but typing now feels like an experience. The lights are cool. There are a lot of options, but I just keep it simple with each row lit up a unique color. Overall great experience.

> 3 dayThe keyboard is worth every penny. I had a regular office keyboard I used and sometimes the keys wouldnt register causing me to lose in a lot of games. Now that is not a problem because this keyboard gives you a satisfying and not too loud click. I was worried that the key switches were going to be too loud but if you get the brown switches like I did, it does not make a big click. If you do want the loud clicky sounds, you should get the blue switches. Also the RGB and colors look beautiful with my white themed gaming setup.

> 3 daythis keyboard is for sure worth it, granted this is my first mechanical keyboard i’m not a newcomer when it comes to them. i’ve done plenty of research for all types of keyboards, and while there are plenty more amazing keyboards for double/triple the price, i see no reason in having to spend that much. if you want a true rgb mechanical keyboard for under $50 (varies on which type you get) that will without a doubt get the job done, HUO is the way to go. this will especially be a great starter keyboard if you’re getting into PC gaming. the quality of the keyboard is very trustworthy and sturdy, you can tell its definitely built to last you a very long time. the color/brightness of the rgb lighting is a true eye-catcher as well. i bought the blue switch version and if you’re into clicky-clacky keyboards then you’ll for sure want this version. overall i really appreciate a keyboard as good as this one for being under $50 and i am well-pleased with my purchase.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard for the most part, easy to use, great size, clack is nice, RBG works, and the modes for the lights are great; however, when using this keyboard Ive found the board dropping key strokes. I know I active the key, but sometimes its just a dead press.

> 3 dayi love this keyboard. it sounds great but if someone in your household has a problem with noise, then i would not get this. its small and heavier than a normal keyboard. i like that it is heavier because it wont slide as easy. they keys are all super responsive and you dont have to press down hard on them at all. the colors are great. i just wish it came with some kind of case that i could store it in while im on trips to keep the dust off, but other than that, its a great keyboard. i would definitely recommend this to a friend

> 3 dayStarting off I wanna say this is a great keyboard for its price! The Z-88 has a very nice ergonomic feel to it. Despite the title this keyboard is NOT 60%, the reason is because it has the function keys and some side keys. The RGB on this keyboard is very good, however not as bright as I had anticipated. Portability wise it is very compact! However I would rather not have the extra keys because they do take up space in a bag. Gaming wise DO NOT get blue switches! They are terrible for gaming and I learned this with my last keyboard. But do to the size of the one it is very good for gaming. I prefer a small keyboard. However when playing the keyboard seems to punch down. I got the red switches which were a nock off cherry mx red switch so they weren’t as high quality. For flexibility this keyboard is okay. It gives when you start to flex it. Also the stabilizers are junk, whenever you hit space or back or shift or any keys with them, you get an awful ting sound and it’s the same with some other keys. My first Z-88 came defective and we were able to get a replacement for it as well. Over all this isn’t a terrible keyboard and I would recommend if on a budget, but if you aren’t I would spend my money else where. There is lots of potential for this keyboard, and if it were updated I may change my review.

Greater than one weekGot this for my son, who is - of course - into all the gaming stuff right now and he loves it. He got it as part of his build your own PC. Its so easy to just unplug and plug into any computer, he uses it with his gaming system, his laptop, he moves it from one unit to the other without any hassle. It also has that loud clicking sound when you type that seems to be the thing with gamer kids right now. The white is nice and vibrant and the color changes are bright and look great. If your kid (or you..) is into this kind of thing, I would definitely recommend it for the price.
