CONCLUSION

   When we reviewed the original Poseidon Z Mechanical Gaming Keyboard we found out that it was a very sturdy keyboard not only because of its enclosure quality but also because of its Kailh mechanical switches which have proven themselves time and again. However even though we liked it a lot it didn’t offer RGB backlight LED illumination for the keys and although back then we didn’t care much about that feature since not many keyboards came with it today it’s a must and this is where the Poseidon Z RGB comes in. So you’re getting the same high quality enclosure and mechanical switches plus full RGB 16.8m color backlight LED illumination all in the same package. You will have to forget about extra macro keys but via the available control software you can still assign your very own macros to any of the 102 available keys. As for the keys well leaving out the audible feedback numbers (quite high but natural for blue switches) I have to say that Kailh has improved its switches even more and comparing the Poseidon Z RGB with the Das Keyboard Professional Model S I think they are not that far away from the ones provided by Cherry (both models feature Blue type switches).

   Right now the Poseidon Z RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Kailh Blue switches by Tt eSPORTS is available online for USD145.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 119Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Unfortunately pricing in the USA is way off especially since the model with Kailh brown switches costs almost half as much so I sincerely hope Tt eSPORTS looks into this and makes the necessary adjustments. Putting price aside however the Poseidon Z RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard has everything most gamers would look for in a keyboard including build quality and RGB backlight LED illumination for the keys and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
