sorted byAmazon offers returns on prime, so best to get it there first test then return and get from scran as there are some quirks/ 'features' you might not like:
The Cons: The USB cable is so thick if it was going through the Sold Secure bike lock quality test it'd rate a 9 like the Kryptonite NYL, it's heavy as it contains 2xUSB and 1xaudio cable (the keyboard has built-in audio jack and usb port), not so problematic visually but if plugging into a monitor's USB hub like me, the weight of the cable dangling causes the USB connection to disconnect at the slight movement/nudge of the desk. I had to use command strips to fasten the wire to the back of the monitor.
It also frequently loses its RGB profile, reverting to rainbow, or half the board being solid white/half the board completely off. It has no onboard memory for profile customisation so if you close the EVGA app on PC it defaults to factory profiles. Partly this is caused by disconnects and KVM switching from PC1 to PC2.
The EVGA logo is hideous and bulky, and cannot be removed.
The ToF sensor was a selling point for me but it doesn't seem to ever put the PC to sleep it just locks it, so defeats the purpose in my view, as I work from home, and I doubt the misses gives 2 sh1ts about network topology diagrams, so i don't need to lock it, i was thinking it automatically sleeping and waking up might save a little energy and screen burn.
The Pros: it's so damn cheap for an optical mech K/B, it has a built in USB port which is convenient, and comes with spare WASD keys, the volume roller is neat, and the wrist rest is decent magnetic and comfy. Overall build quality is as expected, I will say it is better than a Corsair K57 and Razer Cynosa.
If you are getting into the market for mechanical keyboards, 100% worth it but it is not Razer O/P Mech nor SteelSeries O/P Mech calibre.
Anyone knows how the switches in this one might compare to the blue switches by any chance?
------ --------
After using the Z20 for a while.
Software is dire, crashes a lot and has to run as a background task all of the time.
Logitech G810. Colors stay set even after a Computer reboot.
EVGA updates the LEDS using Software rather than a CPU inside the KB that other Manufacturers use.
A KB with built in Memory only needs to run the SW to configure Keys then close.
Some light bleed from under the Keys, G810 has none. Other brands look like xmas Trees.
Ugly EVGA Brand thing. Painting that Black later.
Typing is fine, comes with a Magnetic Palm Rest, a Key Cap Puller and normal Key Caps to replace fitted Gamer Keys. Game Keys feel nice but look Childish.
Uses Cherry Type Switches, the LED is at the top of the Key.
1! 2" 3£ 4$
G810 has a centered LED on each Key.
1 2 3 4
! " £ $
Other brands use Gray Text for Secondary Keys (Not even White)
£40 for a temporary KB until something new comes out.
Optical Keys don't mean Jack S*** when it comes to reliability, they still fail as owners have reported.
it does crash alot while using it tho
i perfer this to my K70 that is triple this price with more feature like usb/microphone passthrough
this is a steal at this price
Thanks OP

Doesn't seem the greatest, dunno if Scania still doing with free microphone and headset at the same price still. (edited)
£43.49 for 25 Optical Reds on ebay - the same as these probably. There are only 2 Manufacturers of Optical Swithes said Google.
