      @@gaber9104 While Corsair and Razer are popular the general consensus in the keyboard community is that they charge too much for what they are selling and the quality is low. The keycaps are very cheap plastic that wares with short use and their stabilizers on the bigger modifier keys are simply bad. They're dry, no lube, and they rattle terribly. I understand that these are pre-made boards, but in the $100 range you have keyboards like the Durgod Taurus, Hades, and Venus. In the $160 range you have things like the Ducky Shine 7. These are far better recommendations than anything made by Razer or Corsair

      Kiwis are slightly less tactile than Zealios, also the housing is not as tight and has a little bit play in it, I couldnt really feel it while typing though.
      Also Zealios are more smooth stock while Kiwis feel a little scratchy stock.
      At the same price Zealios are way better, but after filming and lubing the Kiwis; Kiwis are a great switch.
