Today I will be taking a look at one of the newer Tt eSPORTS mechanical keyboards in the way of the POSEIDON Z with blue switches. The POSEIDON series has a number of models including the original POSEIDON, the POSEIDON Z and the POSEIDON ZX. Across all of the different types you will notice some minor differences, you can get some of the POSEIDON series in Tenkeyless (TKL) or full size and they can also be had with different mechanical switches ranging from red,brown and blue.
The POSEIDON Z with blue switches features an all black base and keys with a blue LED backlighting that can be turned up or dimmed depending on the users preference with the hit of a couple keys. The POSEIDON Z features a key that once pressed will disable the windows key so there is no chance of it interrupting your gameplay by accidentally hitting it. Â The space bar features the “Dragon” logo and aside from that there is only a small bit of branding up in the top right of the POSEIDON Z.
