YUNZII AL80 Silver Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Full Aluminum CNC Custom QMK VIA Gaming Keyboard, LCD Display Hot Swap Keyboard
Expert Take
The YUNZII AL80 is a feature-packed 75% aluminum mechanical keyboard offering exceptional value at $109. It excels with its solid CNC aluminum build, gasket mount, tri-mode wireless, hot-swap PCB, and VIA support. The main caveat is requiring separate proprietary software for LCD customization—something reviewers found cumbersome when combined with VIA. The screen itself is functional but deemed "pretty useless" by multiple reviewers. Sound consistency across keys is imperfect but not a dealbreaker.

Cons
- LCD screen requires separate proprietary software in addition to VIAyoutube.com
- LCD screen is described as "pretty useless" and somewhat tacky at the $100 price pointyoutube.com
- Inconsistent keystroke sound across keys—white keys sound different from othersyoutube.com
- The only issue I have is that you need to download a separate software for the LCD customization, and that we will go over.youtube.com
- For Windows users, this is not a big issue since there's still the right Ctrl.parkablogs.com
- Oh, if you have to move the keyboard often on your table, I probably won't recommend this keyboard as it's inconvenient to lift and move something so heavy around that often.parkablogs.com
- Sure, 4 minutes isn’t particularly bad but if you often find yourself watching videos on your PC, it can feel rather annoying at times.pokde.net
- I find this annoying when I just want to start typing on the keyboard and the first 5 letters I type just do not register.xboxera.com
