Product Overview

EVGA Z15 is a premium full-size mechanical gaming keyboard with hot swappable Kailh switches. Like the optical mechanical Z20 unveiled at the same time, the Z15 combines 4000Hz polling rate, fast actuation, and high durability in a solid chassis, though it loses the ToF proximity sensor.
A unique feature that the Z15 boasts is hot swappable switches that, much like those found in Logitech's similar offering, allow the user to mix and match different compatible switches for each key.
Unsurprisingly, the Z15 supports N-key rollover with 100% anti-ghosting. It also features extensive per-key RGB lighting, though it loses the RGB light bars found in the Z20.
For more practicality, EVGA has endowed the Z15 with a number of media and macro keys, including an aluminum volume scroll.

All of its keys are macro-programmable, and you can control the RGB backlighting on a per-key basis. It's a well-built keyboard that feels comfortable to type on thanks to its incline settings and included wrist rest.
