YUNZIIB75 Mechanical Keyboard,75% Layout with Knob,Hot Swappable RGB Backlit Gasket Mounted, Creamy Typing, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps,Cherry Profile,for Win/Mac (Black, Milk V2 Linear Switch)

I've had this keyboard for just a few days and will try to update this review if anything changes. I'm enjoying it a lot but there are some caveats to mention.I was looking for a 75% or TKL keyboard to take to the office: not too gamer-y looking, thocky sounding but also quiet enough not to bother colleagues, and not too expensive in case someone decides to nab it. I also slightly preferred not to have wireless: to avoid anxiety about it constantly charging and discharging and to avoid any hazards of an internal battery. There were a lot of interesting options around this price range, including several Aulas, Royal Kludges, Tecwares, the Ajazz AK820, Mchose G75, and the Kisnt 75% board. For a bit more you start getting into aluminum cases. A bit more still and you get to the much-hyped Rainy 75. I went with the B75 because I liked the aesthetics, it has a tactile switch option, and it includes all the navigation keys except for Home. It also was offered for a nice discount. I also really liked the way it sounded in demos on YouTube. The most informative review was from Cameron Dougherty Tech; he liked it overall but found some issues as well (especially annoyances with the keycaps). Those things were not deal breakers for me though.For reference, I have had three mechanical keyboards. The latest one was a Montech MKey TKL with tactile switches that is totally stock. Before that was a Yunzii SK61S 60% board with optical tactile switches; it felt nice but I could not get used to the 60% layout, so I gave it to a friend. My first one was a Redragon K552 which originally had clicky switches. I did a bunch of mods on the K552 like changing to Akko Jelly Black (linear switches), changing to PBT keycaps, adding heavy case dampening, and lubing the switches and stabilizers.Here are pros of the B75.- The sound is very satisfying. I would call it "thocky" and "poppy".- The feel is also very satisfying. The blue-grey switches have more pronoucedtactile feel than my MKey board. I think these are my new favorite switches,at least among the few sets I've tried.- The case is plastic but feels like it's of good quality. It's not too much ofa burden to take to the office.- I don't use the knob much, but it feels decent.- Stabilizers feel solid and larger keys have a nice uniform sound and feel.- The included cable isn't super high end, but is totally fine for me. I likethat it has a generic connector shape, so should be easy to replace if Iwant to upgrade.- 75% boards have to make some compromises in the layout, usually with thenavigation keys. I am finding this layout to be very usable. Having somespace between the arrows and navigation keys makes them easier to locate byfeel.- The keycaps are of very decent quality, and contribute to the sound and feelof the keyboard. I prefer non-shine-though PBT and having any RGB showing uponly between the keys. I did end up swapping these out for another set though(see below).- The RGB seems very good, although I tend to keep it subtle. I almostexclusively use the mode where a typed key lights up for a moment and fadesout.- Most boards seem to be hot swappable these days, but it is still appreciated.Here are caveats.- The board may be too loud for an office setting. At least in the stock state.I think I will keep this one at home and reserve another one for the office.- When I received the board, some of the keys were not functioning correctly.I believe it was the "8" and the "p". Typing these did not result incharacters appearing. I also tried the B75 software almost immediately, so Ican't remember if this was happening before I messed with the software.The issues seem to be solved when I install the firmware. However, when Itry to use the B75 software again (e.g. to customize a key), these issuesreturn.- Related to the point above, the key mapping software does not work for me. II can't seem to save new mappings to the keyboard without getting back to the"messed up 'p' and '8'" state. Note that I do not own a computer runningWindows and am running the software through a virtual machine. This may becontributing to my issues.- The software is also missing some functionality, like being able to assignkeys within different layers. There is also a hint of shadiness - for exampleit is obtained from a Mega NZ drive location.- I don't think there is any mapping for Home by default.- I swapped out the keycaps (see below). As I was pulling out the originals,the switches also tended to come out because they are more tightly attachedto the keycaps than the PCB. This slowed me down quite a bit, but it's notsomething I do often so not a huge deal.I was hoping to accomplish two things with the software: (1) remap Insert to Home and (2) map a combo like Win+Del to Insert.I know I can create mappings using software tools in Linux, but I'm not sure if it's possible in Windows; especially on a work machine where I can't install anything. Because of the issues above, I have been sticking with the default layout. I find myself reaching for the missing Home key less often than I thought I would, so maybe it's less of an issue than I was thinking.I have a set of ZDA keycaps (ASIN: B08QJGH5VT) and was curious to see how they would pair with this keyboard. They make it sound and feel even better than stock and I also prefer the look, but also seem to make the keyboard even a bit louder.Most keyboards in this price range don't seem to support VIA, but that is the main thing I'd like to see on this board. Alternatively, since I'm not much of a knob user, I'd rather have the sixth navigation key rather than the knob. I would prefer Delete in the position of the knob, with Insert to the left of it, and Home directly below it.Overall, I'm very impressed with how good budget mechanical keyboards have gotten over the last few years. I can enthusiastically recommend the B75 if you don't mind something a bit louder and don't think you'll need to change key mappings. In particular, if you don't care about the Home key, you may not need to mess with the mappings. I'm really enjoying the typing experience with this one.

More than excellent. It was delivered way earlier than expected, the pacakge was excellente, it contained everything promised, the keyboard was clean as hell and it feels just perfect, the sound, the aesthetic, and it feels way more expensive than the actual priceIt is excellent for gaming and with the sound of it, makes me wanna type the whole day

I love this keyboard and for $40 I have no complaints. The switches sound great and it looks amazing I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good keyboard for the best price!

Certain keys were not working. Tried to use the Yunzii software and the keys were set correctly, but it didn't fix the problem. Tested a different keyboard to see if it was a windows setting and the other keyboard worked perfectly.Update: Customer service helped to manually reset keyboard and get it working. Better instructions would have solved this way quicker.

I love this keyboard. The sound of the tapping is so satisfying; like typing on an old school computer keyboard. I like that it comes with a key remover and extra keys (the important ones). I highly recommend for someone who bought their first PC. It does not connect via bluetooth, but easily connects (via cord) to your PC. My favorite feature is the volume dial!

My son has recently become a fan of these asmr sounding keyboards. The quality is great, soft feeling with clicking comfort when you type. Was surprised to see it came with the tool to change out his switches which is easy to do on this keyboard. Sounds just like the banana switches (if yiu know you know)

hello everyone, so far so good. keyboard quality is amazing and sounds very nice and thocky. At first I was having keyboard mapping issues to where it would execute the wrong keys, or FN lock. If anyone is having this issue, you have to go to the official website and download the updated firmware for the keyboard. At first I was frustrated with this issue, but their customer service also replied as soon as they could. 10/10

The media could not be loaded. This is a great budget keyboard it sounds super clean and feels great when I play my games. One thing I am going to say it sounds way better in person
