What did you get in the mail today? (Part 1)

This Yunzii AL71 in pink with Outemu Crystal Whites

It’s got:

  • Aluminum
  • Argie Bees
  • Switches
  • Stabilizers
  • Gaskets!
  • The “th” word that isn’t the or that

In seriousness, though - I’m kind of amazed how decent this is for less than $100 built and shipped. Yes, there are already a dozen things I could pick at - but they all seem kinda minor in context.

This keyboard is everywhere under a few names, and I bought this one to customize and sell (which it already has) - but I’m going to review it first. It’s been a minute since I’ve done a deep dive on anything, so I think that’ll be a fun thing to get into in the evenings.

My first impression is that this is a wildly good option for someone to see what the whole “mechanical keyboard thing” is about. It’s ubiquitous, comes in many flavors, isn’t expensive, but also has some premium features. I do hear that the finish isn’t so durable - so putting that to the test (and replacing it) will be part of the review.
