Closer look at POSEIDON Z RGB
POSEIDON Z RGB is well built mechanical keyboard by Thermaltake Sports . The keyboard is heavy and sturdy in its built and have a very profession look . The blue switches beneath each key have very good and sturdy feeling too . The tactile response and the clicky sound of blue switches is heaven for those who prefer mechanical keyboard with type-writer sound ..
On the back side , there is nothing special .. A normal high grade non-detachable USB cord is found . There are total 5 rubber pads beneath POSEIDON Z RGB to hold in its place . Also once nice thing i have found is that they have provided extra 2 rubber pads in case if any of below wears out .
You might be thinking that there are no dedicated keys on the side or on the top of the numeric pad . Yes , the dedicated keys dont have a separate place on the keyboard . You can use these keys with the combination with the “Fn” key located near the Right CTRL key . The right side of keyboard have the Game Mode On/Off toggle switch . To the left of it are the indicators for the Num Lock , Caps Lock and other such specific keys . We have Brightness Control keys at Top.

On the left side , we have Media Player keys at the top and right next to it are the volume control keys which are again usable by pressing with in the combination with Fn Key . One thing i like about this keyboard that although the keyboard is very compact built but all the stand keys like Shift , CTRL , Alt are of standard sizes which i high appreciate in a gaming keyboard .
This version of POSEIDON Z RGB have Blue Switches , One thing i would like you to observe is that they are not Cherry MX switches .Yes guys for all of you out there who are fan of Cherry MX . This keyboard have Kailh Blue Switches which i must say are marvelous . They don’t feel very cheap or low quality . In fact you cant feel much difference . The quality is very good , the tactile bump , the register of key and the clicky sound feels very good . This keyboard also comes in Brown Switches , so if you dont want the clicky sound you should go for Brown switches . One thing you should note too is that it have a mirror finished at the bottom surface and separate RGB LED for each key which enhances the light .
