Customer Review

Update 29.11. - Replacement Keyboard arrived
5 star it will now not - there are only 4 benevolent star - due to the lighting and the price and 5 years warranty.

Keys do not click the I no longer with the replacement keyboard. -> Progress
What remains is that the keys do not have a consistent behavior, some clicking as I am used to from the Cherry MX Blues, others just significantly understated - some scratch something press the slow and is generally considered a key quickly it can happen also struck, that the click will be the loser. Something there is in the Cherry buttons just do not.
The difference in quality of the MX-Blues is clear and can not be explained away - my G80 with Cherry MX Blues stands next to it.

Conclusion: If there were the same keyboard with MX Blues I would at any time like to spend 5 more - which is after all a difference in quality. Unfortunately offering actually identical keyboard which Poseidon with MX Blues has again the fault the shift characters to be attached to the keycaps down -> unlit.

I keep these here now now anyway - it writes pleasantly despite the lower quality Kaihls.
-------------------------------

Looking for an illuminated mechanical keyboard I ended up after several attempts at the Poseidon Z Illuminated.
75 for an illuminated Mechanical and switches should comply with the blue Cherry sound like a very ordinary offer.
So far all had keyboards Cherry Switch. Corsair K70, Corsair K90 - at both went after 1 year, the LEDs broken, ASUS Strix Pro - retour for bad lighting, Logitech G710 - back as the sign of shift function are not illuminated, Perrix 5200 - Macro keys without SW and possibility of Progrmmierung / editing, lighting not regulated and significantly dazzling - Epic Fail -> back.

The Logitech G910 was almost perfect, but I am not come to the narrow gaps between the keycaps cope - Romer own switch - very pleasing.

Well, why not even a keyboard with Khail switch taste - It does not have to be Cherry.
5 year warranty - there should agree the quality, even if you can read everywhere that would nix.

Now the Poseidon Z Illuminated stands before me.

Lighting top - really top. Rich blue, adjustable and even bright enough - even that is not self-evident for some manufacturers. The double occupancy is mounted on top of the keycaps - all the characters are clean illuminated.
Unfortunately, creating so many manufacturers not to take this logical step and make the shift characters as on any other keyboard down on the key caps on -> almost not or not illuminated.
Sorry if I buy ne illuminated keypad should be lit all the characters please.
Thumbs up for Tt eSPORTS and the perfect solution here.

Keyboard lies firmly on the table, does not slip.
Builds also quite narrow.
Okay, a palm rest one needs.

The typing feel - the most important thing in a mechanical.
In principle, noticing no difference to the blue Cherrys, the click is probably a bit more discreet.
Keys have the usual distance, are somewhat flatter, I come right away very well with it.

So why "in principle"?
Unfortunately, my keys are all very different in the click behavior, some such as the Cherry and clicking as I expect, other slightly behind the other to significantly understated in the click and then but also buttons that depress only the first time you have a click and push it in several times lose. (Not irrevocably - press later again to then bring back Klick)
But then last but not even 4 keys have no click.

Since no one here has reported it (are only 7 product reviews) I've probably caught a runaway.
I hope so, at least once.

I have 2 keyboards from Cherry - the MX 3.0 for the work, the other G-80 will be sold, with both MX Blues - because each key by clicking as the other and a loss is certainly not there.

My conclusion so first.
Somewhere is therefore yet saved - nothing that Khail switches are not well cheaper.
Here it seems to be the quality control.
The keys function as they should which I find managed - can hardly notice a difference to Cherrys - at least nothing that speaks for or against Khails or Cherry.

A keyboard Out of the box but has 4 keys broken and the rest shows the full range of click behavior - sorry, that's something sobering. Here give 5-year warranty - must actually be an outlier I have caught there.

That's why only used 2 stars.
Get the keyboard from Amazon then switched positions, unfortunately, Amazon has just no more - will therefore take some time.
Then should the replacement have consistently equal functioning buttons I'll changeing the assessment to 5 star.
See otherwise no point where I would have something to complain about.

Have written the whole review with the Poseidon - am basically very happy as it taps her - and the lighting they really hammer out good.
