The Yunzii AL80 is a top-tier keyboard that combines excellent build quality with great performance. The switches feel incredibly responsive and sound fantastic, making every key press satisfying. It’s not just stylish — it’s built to perform. One of its best features is the triple connectivity (wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz), which gives you a lot of flexibility and lets you customize how you use it across different devices. The small screen and RGB lighting add a fun and unique touch of personalization, and the hot-swappable keycaps make it easy to change the look anytime. The software, both on the website and the configuration app, is super intuitive and smooth — it actually enhances the experience, unlike with many other brands. What truly sets Yunzii apart, though, is their customer support. It’s incredibly personal, fast, and solution-oriented. They handled my case with such care, efficiency, and attention that I was genuinely impressed. I've been a loyal customer of top-tier gaming brands for over 10 years, and not once have I received service even close to this level. Yunzii went above and beyond, and it shows they really care about your experience. This was an amazing purchase, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a premium keyboard backed by real people who care. A solid 10/10! Read more

TLDR Pros - Solid and premium aluminum build - Beautiful design and color options - Creamy, smooth Cocoa Brown switches - Great sound profile, especially the spacebar - Excellent keycaps and stabilizers Cons - Screen is poorly placed and not very useful - No full VIA support; limited customization - No AltGr key - Not mod-friendly (uses Allen screws) - Stiff gasket mount and basic PCB for the price This is my first aluminum keyboard, and honestly, it feels incredibly good. The CNC case is simply wonderful, cold to the touch, heavy (but not too much), and it has that stunning mirror plate on the back (which, by the way, collects fingerprints like crazy). Together, these elements are the best part of the keyboard. Pictures don’t do it justice, it’s way more beautiful in person. I had doubts about all the color schemes, but the black is elegant, the white is warm, and the beige is just gorgeous. I don’t know how they managed to make it look worse in photos, but they did. Another strong point is the switches. I didn’t get the Gaterons because the force chart made me think they’d be too light for me, so I went with the Cocoa Browns. I think they’re top-tier linear switches. Paired with this board, they sound exquisite. Also, being box switches, they give the keypress a really solid feel that adds a lot of character. The tocuh is interesting, I’d describe it, maybe because of the spring and the generous lubing, as like dipping your fingers into butter. It’s definitely a “creamy” feel, which might gross some people out, but I actually like it. I also think the spring weight is perfect for me, they’re not too sensitive, so I can type without making mistakes, but they still give a satisfying bounce. And because they’re not too heavy, I can game comfortably without my middle finger getting tired from holding down W key. I also have to give a round of applause to the keycaps. Yunzii has made the best keycaps I’ve ever tried on a pre-built keyboard. Maybe it’s also thanks to the box switches, but they don’t slip from my fingers, and they have a slightly textured plastic feel that gives them a very premium touch. Lastly, the stabilizers are great,z very smooth and generously lubed. Finally, I have to praise the sound. It’s not the best I’ve heard (I think aluminum, despite how great it feels, tends to worsen the acoustics), but it’s still very enjoyable. I’m a huge fan of the spacebar sounding different, a bit louder, maybe higher-pitched and clacky. If a keyboard doesn’t have that, it’s a big downside for me. But this one does have it. Up to this point, the keyboard is worth your money. It’s S-tier. But it has a few drawbacks that really hold me back. I think the first and most obvious one is the screen. For many, it takes up space better used for more keys. Honestly, I don’t mind that. I only use three control keys and wouldn’t miss the function row if I had to remap it. But I did notice that if I place my setup on a low or high desk, the screen becomes hard to see. I think they chose a spot with a really bad viewing angle. I have to move my head to see it, and sometimes my hand blocks it. It’s a literal pain in the neck. I don’t care too much since I don’t use it that often, but it feels kind of useless, especially for people like me who already have a big monitor. And if you do miss the function keys, the screen will be more of a hindrance than a feature. Now, this next issue is the most disappointing one. Even though the keyboard says it’s VIA-compatible, it isn’t fully. Yunzii ran into some issue and never released the source code for it. I don’t know if they plan to in the future, probably not, but this definitely limits how much you can customize it compared to other boards. Honestly, this is a general warning for any Yunzii product. As for the software, many people won’t like having to download some random extra program just to customize the screen. Even if I could overlook that, any keyboard without browser-based software compromises your security, especially at this price point. So that’s a con. One thing that really annoyed me, and will probably matter a lot to non-native English speakers, is that this keyboard has no AltGr key. I didn’t notice it at first, which is why I think people should be warned. I found it super frustrating when typing in WhatsApp groups. I honestly don’t know why they didn’t just make the Fn key smaller to make room for AltGr. Sure, you can remap Fn or Ctrl, but that’s a price you have to pay. Another point: this keyboard isn’t very modding-friendly. If you want to dive more than just swap switches or something superficial, you’re in for a bit of a struggle. First off, the back screws are Allen screws. Why? Why couldn’t they just use regular Phillips or flathead screws? I just don’t get it. I literally can’t open it because I’ve never needed an Allen key in my life. I wasn’t planning to open it anyway, since it comes great out of the box, but these kinds of design choices feel like they’re meant to annoy you on purpose. And lastly, despite being in this price range and having very premium features, it’s not a flexible keyboard at all. In fact, it’s quite stiff. The gasket mount, from what I saw in other reviews, is super cheap. It’s just some rubber strips that are actually hard. I’ve seen cheaper keyboards with better gasket performance in flexibility. It’s probably also due to the PCB and the thick foam layers. And then the PCB, according to many others, is extremely basic, relative rigid, and green. It has a lot of flex cuts, which may be responsible for the sound being different in different parts, something that should be different due the gasket mount. This one could’ve been more flexible, enhanced the sound, and improved the typing feel, but it’s clear they cut corners here, badly. These cons aren’t dealbreakers (maybe the missing AltGr and lack of full VIA support are), and I could overlook them. Still, when I look at the price, what the brand has done before, and what the competition offers, it ends up being a big disappointment. That said, I still place the positives above the negatives. They could have done better, maybe much better, but it’s still a good keyboard. It doesn’t feel like a scam, but I seriously recommend you think hard about these downsides most people don’t mention them. And if after all this you still think this board is for you, you won’t regret getting it. Read more
