REVIEW – It’s been quite some time since I’ve reviewed a keyboard. Thanks to the keyboarding enthusiasts, there are so many options to choose from now and almost all of them incorporate features and mods sought after by that community. Even better, the cost of quality-built mechanical keyboards has dropped to the point where a great board can be gotten at a great price. When I read about the Yuzii AL75 Pro on their website, it sounded like a keyboard I couldn’t pass up. It theoretically ticked a lot of boxes, but does it live up to my expectations? Read on if you’re curious.

Design and features
Alright, let’s see if I can knock some rust off and tell you what you need to know about the Yunzii AL75 Pro. Firstly, the AL75 Pro has a CNC aluminum case which looks and feels great. It gives the keyboard good weight, so no worry of it sliding around on your desk. The milling is clean and the chamfered edges give it a nice aesthetic.
Yunzii has also installed 4 silicone feet and a mirror-polished plate on the rear. I can’t say why you would need the plate there. It’s not a weight, but I guess you could check to make sure your hair’s in place before seeing your work crush?
The case is held together with 8 Torx screws. I know a lot of people want front-accessible internals, so if that’s a must for you, you may want to consider something else. It makes no difference to me.
The key caps are double-shot PBT so the legends are sharp and crisp, and the caps shouldn’t develop shine throughout the life of the keyboard. I do wish they had a little more texture to them. For a tactile guy like me, a little tooth just feels better.
The switches are Yunzii’s own Blue Grey tactile and have an operating force 37±5 gf, pre-travel 2.3±0.3 mm, and travel distance 3.6±0.3 mm. They have crisp actuation and quick rebound. They come pre-lubed which some folks think is sacrilege when it comes to a tactile switch’s operation, but I have had no issues with them. It would be interesting to see how they feel dry though. They are 5-pin hot-swappable and Cherry MX compatible. I also like that they are box style which limits cap movement alleviating rattle. I’m not sure what stabilizers Yunzii used here. They come pre-lubed and I have not noticed any rattle so they do the job just fine. I’m assuming they are snap-on versus screw-on but I couldn’t tell for sure. Due to how the board is wrapped in its gasket mounted top plate, layers of foam, and an actual pre-installed tape mod, I didn’t want to risk taking it completely apart.
Speaking of gaskets and foam, there are layers upon layers here. Here you can see the tape mod I’m referring to.
I can’t tell you what materials were used here. The top plate looks and feels like POM but I can’t confirm that. I can tell you all this adds up to a good mix of rigidity and flexibility, even for ham-fisted typists like me.
Assembly, Installation, Setup
Mac and Windows users rejoice! The Yunzii AL75 Pro is compatible with both OSes with a simple switch.
The second switch is for the different connectivity modes, of which, there are three. You’ve got Bluetooth, wired, and 2.4 GHz via the dongle which is parked under a little magnetic cap on the front of the keyboard when not in use.
I had no problems using any of those 3. Windows recognized the keyboard easily regardless of how I used it. The only problem I had is the keyboard does seem to take a little longer to wake when using it wirelessly.
The AL75 Pro does have south-facing LEDs for all the RGB you want. There are keyboard shortcuts to control it but I’m not a huge RGB fan. I usually pick a color, a slow-breathing effect, and let it ride.
Performance
The Yunzii AL75 Pro exceeded my expectations. I had never heard of the brand before so I was skeptical, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I would say it holds its own with some of the other keyboards I’ve reviewed in the past, even Keychron. It feels great with the tactile switches. It has a nice marbley sound and works well in all 3 modes, minus the ding I gave it for waking a little slower.
Final thoughts
For my first foray into Yunzii’s offerings, I’d say they hit it out of the park. The sound, feel, and performance at the price point make the AL75 Pro punch above its weight class. If you’re a keyboard snob on a budget, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s my daily driver and will be for the foreseeable future.
What I like about Yunzii AL75 Pro keyboard
- I love the switches

What needs to be improved?
