PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND CONCLUSION

Pricing of Ttesport POSEIDON Z Brown Switch are RM349 which is quite expensive to me even it advertise as a “Budget Friendly” keyboard . The keyboard only support 6 N-Key rollover , meaning you can only press 6 key at the same time , when the 7th key registered it will release one of the 6 key you pressed , which is this will kill your experience when playing game that require you to do a crazy shit load of key combination :) , did i mention there is no palm rest? . Palm rest can be purchase additionally Ttesport Gaming Wrist Rest .

The quality of the switch are pretty good , you do feel the tactile feedback when you pressing and releasing the key and the tactile feeling will help you notice the key has been registered when you press it .

I’m totally a Red switch guy , usually i only applied a very light amount of pressure on Red switch it will registered , but with brown i applied the same pressure it wont registered .

Pros:
• Bright Blue LED
• 4 set of brightness
• Compact
• 5 YEAR WARRANTY
• Fn Media Keys

Cons:
• No wrist rest
