Upgraded my Drop Alt with a cheap EVGA Z15

more_vert
When I saw the hotswappable EVGA Z15 keyboard was only 40 bucks and the same price as buying just the KAILH Bronze switches I wanted to try in my Drop Alt, I went ahead and bought it from Amazon. On prime day it was even cheaper at only 35 bucks, I can't say I regret paying the extra 5 for the value I got out of it though. I basically got a whole spare keyboard, keycaps, 8 free speed silvers, a switch and keycap puller, all for the same price as 110 Kailh Bronze switches I was already doing to buy. I used the keyboard for a few days before popping the switches out, and found the stabilizers on the spacebar to be much nicer than the ones in my 2 year old Alt (I understand Newer drop alts have a better stabs included). Out of curiosity I looked at the stabs in the Z15 and found them to be a match for the drop alt, and swapped them over, I didnt even have to unscrew anything, just popped them out with the tabs. My spacebar feels so much nicer now, and I didn't have to pay another 25 bucks for new stabilizers. The Z15 keycaps also line up nicely with my Alt's included keycaps, and adds some variety to my board that I didnt have before. Might be worth it to look the Z15 up and see if anyone is still selling it for the huge discount with the switches you want. I know I've seen it with Speed Silvers and Speed Bronze, I think theres a tactile switch version around too.
