EVGA Z15

With that being said, the z15 and its current status, it could use a little bit of work. The branding on the top is absolutely atrocious.

Went for the cheapest route possible and got the 3070 and the EVGA Z15 Keyboard. 3070 runs amazing coming from my old GPU being a 1650 super a friend lent me. The keyboard is okay, definitely didn't need it but it's a step up from my old office Logitech keyboard. The bundle also works if you were considering upgrading your power supply to a higher wattage as well.

If you're looking for a high-performing keyboard without breaking the bank, we recommend the EVGA Z15. Despite its budget price point, it has several features found on more premium offerings, like onboard memory, a scroll wheel at the top, and dedicated media keys. Also, it has a fantastic build quality and feels very sturdy thanks to its solid plastic case and brushed metal backplate

The EVGA Z15 is on sale for $98 AUD ($75.77 USD) and it is fully hot swappable and comes with Kailh Speed Silvers. I've heard some bad things about the keycaps it will only be another $30 AUD ($23.32 USD) to just replace them with HK Gaming Pudding Keycaps. The GMMK White Ice on the other hand costs $169 AUD ($130.72 USD) without shipping costs and the barebones kits cost $100 AUD ($77.35 USD) but switches are hard to find in Australia for a reasonable price.

The best budget mechanical keyboard that we've tested is the EVGA Z15. Despite its budget price point, this full-size board is packed with features found on more premium boards, including onboard memory, dedicated media keys, and the ability to assign macros to any key. It also feels very well-built and has a brushed metal backplate that feels very sturdy

The Z15 with the speed silver switches is in this link as well. If you can, grab it at its 40$ price tag. It’s a great price for hotswappable switches and an overall well built keyboard with a magnetic removable palm rest.

The EVGA Z15 is the best budget mechanical keyboard that we've tested. It's an entry-level keyboard with surprising performance and extra features that help it compete with more premium models. It's full-size and comes with a comfortable wrist rest for good ergonomics, so you shouldn't be easily fatigued by using it for long periods

Yeah I found the switches were tight on my K2 as well, I’ve broken many of side clips, I agree that getting a new switch puller help, the best one I got came with the EVGA Z15 hot-swappable keyboard

The best wired gaming keyboard under $100 that we've tested is the EVGA Z15. It's a full-sized keyboard with customizable RGB backlighting, dedicated media keys, a volume control wheel, and you can set macros to any key.

I previously bought the EVGA Z15, only to find the rgb lights were not flush to the plate preventing my lavender switches from fitting properly. I bought the GMMK 1 Full size but was disappointed with the fact the lights almost immediately quit working. Their support was kind enough to offer a replacement or refund, but seeing as others have had similar issues I am leaning towards just getting a refund and purchasing something different.
