EVGA is perhaps best known for its nontextual matter cards, but it does also dabble in peripherals, including gaming keyboards. The Z15 is one much offer. IT's also discounted to $49.99 on Newegg right now, which is an attractive monetary value for a mechanical keyboard.

The list price stands at $129.99, thusly technically you'ray saving $80 along this deal. Look the monetary value tracking account at CamelCamelCamel, a convenient resource for researching advertised deals (albeit it only looks at Amazon River), pricing has bounced around everyplace the berth along this exemplary, averaging out to $103.33.

One of the neat features of the Z15 is it has hot swappable winder switches. That means if you raise tired of the included Kailh Speed Smooth-spoken switches, you potty rip them unsuccessful and supervene upon them with any three-pin switch for a change in feel and a possibly intact new typing experience, without buying another keyboard.

That's a feature that may not always make a mess of sense, but since you'ray only into this keyboard for a penny shy of $50, information technology becomes a worthwhile proposition, should you ever make up one's mind to vary things up.

Out of the box, the included switches are linear and quiet, for smooth headstone presses without the sharp 'click' you get from Kailh Greens or Cherry red MX Blues. I actually prefer obnoxiously loud key switches, simply I also realize that not everyone shares my ebullience for them.

EVGA as wel touts a 4,000Hz report rate. The Brobdingnagian bulk of gaming keyboards declare oneself up a 1,000Hz report rate (or polling order), which translates to a 1ms response time. That's fast plenty, though EVGA earns itself bragging rights with a 0.25ms response time.

Other features include RGB ignition, consecrated media controls (including a book scroll wheel), a attraction palm rest, and onboard retention to save custom settings to the keyboard.
