UPDATE:
Have had the keyboard for a little over a month. It's still great.
Have done a couple of mods that have improved it.
Change the keys to Outemu Purple's. Outemu's may not be the best keys, but I'm not a keyboard snob (yet). They are a little bit firmer than brown switches. So if you happen to be a brown fan but are looking for something a little different, I would recommend them., Got them on sale for 110 keys for $12.00.
Did the tape mod on the back of the PCB. Two layers worked for me.
Did one layer of foam and one layer of cabinet liner. Keyboard is much quieter now, than it was when it was stock.
Did tape mod on the big switches, space bar, return, enter and back space. They sound much better than stock to me.
It is almost a "thocky" board now.
I only notice the EVGA branding when I'm looking for it now. If I had a 3d printer I would probably mod it. I'm thinking about just painting it black and then sanding it so only the EVGA is visible.
INITIAL REVIEW:
Great value at $39.99. Software works, I've had no issues so far. I'm not a fan of linear switches at all so I got this version instead of the silver linear switches.
Love the feel of the keys, but the clicky sound will drive you crazy if you are not a fan. If I was a fan of clicky keys, these would be the one's I would choose as they do feel great to type on. No way anyone would be able to use this keyboard in an office setting without your coworkers quickly becoming angry with you.
Love that it is hotswappable as my last two mechanical keyboards the "W" key died on me.
I'm not skilled with a solder gun so I'm out of luck trying to fix them.
That's what makes this keyboard great. You can change out the switches to whatever you prefer.
PROS
- good looking and solid aluminum plate
- RGB works with or without software
- high polling rate makes it great for FPS gamers. I've tested it an haven't seen a drop in FPS.
- legs provide 2 different options for elevation
CONS
- key caps are poor quality, not abs so they collect grease and get shiny
- font on key caps is also way to "I'm a GAMER!!!"
- EVGA branding is not subtle at all. It's not really noticeable when the keyboard is elevated. Doesn't bother me buy others may notice.
Watched a great video on how to mod this board and I'm going to try that once my new key caps arrive this week.
Overall a solid buy at this price point. With good key caps this would've been a solid value at $75-$100 dollars as it has lots of high end features. Key caps and branding are distracting and lower the perceived value.
I would buy it again.

The EVGA Z15 (and Z20) sets a new standard that other mainstream manufacturers need to match.

Hot Swappable Switches are all the rage now with keyboard enthusiasts.Full RGB is also becoming an expected standard.Clicky switches are more about personal preference, but as someone who spends 6-8 hours a day working and then several hours gaming, the EVGA Z15 with the Kailh Speed Bronze Switches make the perfect transition from typing to gaming.EVGA has its own RGB software that was a very nice compliment to the keyboard commands that also control the RGB options.I've had it for 2 weeks as of the writing of this review and after all the research and other KBs that I purchased and returned, this will be my daily driver for the foreseeable future.
