Thermaltake Tt e Sports Poseidon Z Blue IS AN AMAZING KEYBOARD UNLIKE ANY OTHER I HAVE OWNED SINCE THE EARLY 90's. IT HAS A SPECIAL FEEL TO THE KEYS THAT IS JUST PERFECT, NOT TO HARD & NOT TOO SOFT BUT JUST RIGHT IN MY OPINION. IT HAS EVEN HELPED ME TO LEARN HOW TO TYPE FASTER AND NOT NEED TO LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD AS MUCH BECAUSE IT HAS A VERY UNIQUE CONFIGURATION FOR THE LOCATION AND THE SHAPE OF THE KEYS WHICH HELPS YOU NOT MAKE AS MANY TYPING ERRORS. AS YOU TAP ON THE KEYS WITH YOUR FINGER TIPS IT FEELS VERY NATURAL AND PRECISE. YOU CAN HEAR THE CLICK WITH THE TOUCH OF EACH KEY WHICH CONFIRMS FOR ME WHAT I AM TYPING ON THE SCREEN WITH THE SOUND OF EVERY KEY THAT IS PRESSED.
I REALLY CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS TO DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM WITH THIS MODEL. I HAVE SEEN SOME NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THIS KEYBOARD BUT HONESTLY IT MIGHT JUST BE AN UNLUCKY BUYER WHO ENDED UP WITH A DEFECTIVE MODEL OR POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT.
*** VERY IMPORTANT*** REMEMBER TO ALWAYS KEEP THE SURFACE OF THE KEYBOARD AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT ALLOW DUST, CRUMBS, OR HAIR TO COLLECT IN BETWEEN THE KEYS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND DO NOT ALLOW THE USB CABLE TO BE BENT TOO MUCH NOR TO BE PULLED WITH TOO MUCH FORCE. ALLOWING THAT TO HAPPEN CAN SHORTEN THE LIFESPAN OF ANY GOOD KEYBOARD BUT WITH A GOOD CARE ROUTINE IT WILL BE A GREAT INVESTMENT TO OWN THE Thermaltake Tt e Sports Poseidon Z Blue.
THE OTHER MODELS LOOK VERY SIMILAR EXCEPT FOR THE STYLE: Aluminum w Build-in USB...
WHICH HAS A WRIST SUPPORT, REMOVABLE USB CABLE, AUDIO & MIC INPUTS.
"IF YOU ARE UNDECIDED, TRUST IN THIS REVIEW AND BUY IT 100%".
I ONLY REVIEW PRODUCTS WHEN THEY ARE REALLY GOOD OR REALLY BAD.
THIS ONE IS SUPER GOOD!
The only problem I have with this keyboard is a minor quality control issue. For an $80 keyboard, anyone with the right mind would expect high quality. The caps lock key on mine has some finish issues that produced color tone deviations on top of the key. I looked everywhere and it seems I got a lemon. But this does make me question Thermaltake's quality control process and what their threshold is on a high end product. I have seen QC issues on their heat sinks before, but didn't expect this to happen to this keyboard.
I'm hoping the LEDs will last and so will the switches. Overall, the keyboard seems to be of a solid build. Don't count on the warranty as it will cost you weeks and shipping fees that probably end up wasting you more than going through the hassle. So, expect a product to at least outlast its warranty, that's what the manufacturer aims for too. With this keyboard, it is five years. I have had older keyboards that lasted over ten years, so I hope this one will last at least five.
I will try to update this review six months from today. And do note, reading the actual Warranty card inside the box: The fine print states this keyboard is covered under a 2 year warranty instead of the 5 on the packaging box sticker (for the certified mechanical switches). So, if you ever want to consider the warranty route, it really is 2 years for the keyboard, not 5. Looking into the warranty further, nowhere on Ttesports' website can you find a link to contact support for warranty, neither does Thermaltake's website have a system setup for easy RMA if this keyboard while in warranty. Click contact us on TTesports, takes you to a generic comments page dated 2010... On Thermaltake's website, contact us takes you to an e-mail address to email their customer support in Taiwan. Seems like this company is not ready for the global market or they just do not want to stand behind their product after they take your money.
02.27.2015 UPDATE ---
I contacted customer service and Amazon sent me a new one. So I did get a lemon on the first one. The caps lock on the new one is absolutely flawless. Check your keyboard for QC issues when you receive yours! Other than that, only time will tell if this keyboard will last.
02.28.2015 UPDATE ---
Ok, this is scary. I have used the second keyboard for a few hours now. Numbers 12345 on the numberpad started to intermittently go out, completely out. The mechanics seem to be functioning just fine, but 12345 stopped registering, while 6789 worked fine. Replugging does not always fix the problem but interestingly enough, cycling the LED brightness level a few times make those keys came back to life. I would assume there is some circuitry problem inside. This gives me way less confidence about this keyboard's quality.
I tested the anti-ghosting today, all the 8-key combinations I can think of registered all inputs precisely. Very impressive there. I have tested this on many gaming keyboards before and a lot of them couldn't handle most of my simultaneous key combinations outside the WASD zone. But plagued by the issues found above, I am having a lot of doubts about this keyboard being a high end gaming keyboard.
Since the warranty is almost non-existent as far as I can research it, I can only hope this keyboard would last at least two years...
- Brightest RGB keyboard out right now
- 5 year warranty
- No frills keyboard
- Price
- Can assign each key to different color
Cons
- Software is a bit slow and looks like it needs an update
- Kailh brown switches (issue for some, not me)
- non braided/ non gold contact usb cable
- no wrist pad
I've been using this keyboard for about a month now and I gotta say i'm pleasantly surprised. I switched from using cherry mx blue switches to these Kailh brown switches because I wanted something that wasn't as clicky as the blue switches and so far they have been excellent. I'm not sure what other people are complaining about saying the the Kailh switch is inferior, they are rated with the same 50 million keystroke lifecycle as the Cherry switches (are also clones of the cherry switches) and Thermaltake offers a 5 year warranty on this keyboard. What you get with this keyboard is a full key mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting that allows you to get top notch performance and have a custom look to complete your setup. I am not a Pro Gamer but I am quite good and yet I feel all those extra features a lot of the other keyboards offer are useless and just a money grab. I could easily recommend this keyboard at the current listed price of 79.99 and can go as far as to say that for this price, you will not find a better keyboard.
