Well, this is the first time in a long while I pulled a budget board out of its box and didn’t hate it. In fact, my first impression is that I’m in love with it. Greetings AL68, Will you marry me?
I’ve been on the hunt for an aluminum 65 in a decent color that isn’t too heavy, has VIA, sounds good and shoot, might as well have a knob on it. I pair it with my iPad too so I love to use the screen brightness and multimedia controls as well.
This is truly the first budget board I’ve found that checks all these simple boxes.
Right out of the box, it looks and feels great. While the finish will attract fingerprints, all the pretty ones do… I’ll just say without being long winded, it’s a great board. I really think it’s one of the best 100ish dollar boards out there right now.
A tiny engineering issue that I found on an otherwise great board is the LED under the #8 keycaps shine a little brighter than the others. I think it’s due to the fact that there’s a screw mount right next to it. Having it right there created a gap where the sandwich foam should be under the plate. That in turn lets more light under the plate and thus, makes it a little brighter. I’ll be adding some cotton to that spot later to see if I can get it to dim a bit.
As for the switches, I also like the fact that they offer you the option of their 50g linears as opposed to just a single lower weight. I chose them and can tell you that they are smooth, a bit on the louder side and poppy clacky. Crisp. The space bar is deeeeep sounding too.
Also Included in the box are bonus caps for mac users, Esc, Directional and enter key color variations. Lastly, I had to bang on the accessories box and I m glad i did. Two extra switches plopped out like a prize. WooHoo! Seriously.

I was originally going to buy a Higround keyboard but I’m so glad I bought this one. It has an amazing thocky sound and is super nice to type and game on. 10/10 I would for sure recomend

Built like a tank. Feels great, with an ideal switch and cap combo for me. Perfect size for my gaming setup. Like the added caps and extra switches. Well packaged and arrived in good shape.

以前、キーボード入力の効率化を図ろうとして英語版HHKBに乗り換えました。
ほぼ満足していたのですが、他の環境のPCを触る機会が増え、キーボード配列の違いでかなり戸惑いが出始めました。
HHKBを持参することを考えていたのですが、自分が利用しているキーバインドを利用するためには、AHKの導入やキーマップ変更をPC毎に実施する必要があり、現実的ではないと感じていました。
ふとしたきっかけで、キーマップやキーバインドをカスタマイズして、キーボード側で保存できる仕組み(QMK/VIA)があると知り、対応キーボードを探したところ、この製品を見つけました。
結論としては、希望通りの設定がキーボード側のコンフィグだけで可能で、このキーボードを持ち運べばキー配列に困ることはなくなりました。
キータッチについては、HHKBより少し軽いイメージですが、少し音が大きいです。心地の良い音ですので一人で使っている分には大きな問題にはならないです。人がたくさんいる場所で使う場合は少し気を使いそうです。
アルミフレームでがっしりとしていて質感はとても良いです。バッテリーを搭載していることもあり、その分少し重たい(1Kg超え)ので、持ち運びが少し大変です。
ただ、そんなことより自分に合ったキーマップとキーバインドをどこでも利用できることの方が大きなメリットなので、あまり苦にはなりません。
私は有線で利用しているので特に困らないですが、無線で利用する場合は、一部キーのコンフィグが効かない機能があるようです。

An absolute gem for this price € 89,-
I would recommend ordering with Milky V3, just quiet enough with a clicky soft clacky sound. Tried the other switch but those where loud.
Aluminum black anodized is high quality, no imperfections and smooth, weighs 1,2 kilo but adds to quality if you get used to it. It did grow on me, bc it did not move when pushing or moving stuff around.
Something must be bad no, yes and no, the keyboard turns off when not used for 30 sec, this saves battery life, but can get annoying if you don’t know how to wake it up. Do not press once, but twice it wakes up immediately and you are good to go. I hear people say it takes 5 or 10 sec, but that is total nonsense.
I have only to charge once in 4/5 days in extreme use, otherwise I charge 6/7 days.
I don’t understand why they put an aluminum colored knob, instead of a black one, but you can find one on Aliexpress for dirt cheap I got mine 2 each € 0,77, black and purple anodized with a slight rim on the sides, check if they are for keyboard knobs a d-shape. When I get my new key’s, I will post a picture to show.
Check on Reddit how to use some functions, very useful, bc somehow they forgot to list a lot by Yunzii, like (FN+L) to mute all keystrokes, till you press again, very useful for cleaning or a cat walking over you keyboard.
pfff this one was a long one!

I didn’t know you could buy such a good keyboard for this price. Really solid, stable, build quality is impressive. Any way you want to connect to your PC is supported, bluetooth, dongle, or cable. Super heavy. The included switches sound great.

I’m in love with this keyboard. The compact size and colors are great. I did moded with new switches and keycaps to make it silent, now it even more perfect.

Rundum sehr zufrieden. Guter Druckpunkt der Tasten. Bin kein Experte aber recht zufrieden mit der Tastatur. Nichts klappert, nichts gebrochen und sehr solider qualitativ hochwertiger Eindruck der Tastatur.

The al68 is essentially the al66 V2.
Sound – Outstanding! Very clacky and loud
Feeling – Great! The prelube job on the switches are done beautifully and they have an amazing sound profile.
Switches – The switches are very nice, I personally like the cocoa cream v2 switches more.
Keycaps – The doubleshot pbt keycaps are high quality and feel great! Some slight difference in the legend thickness on some keycaps.
The board itself is very rigid and heavy. Barely any pinging, but it doesn’t hurt to do a forcebreak mod. The foam is taped to the pcb so it’s risky to remove it since you might pull a hotswap socket off. There’s barely any space inside which is good, but it compromises the flex of the gaskets.
I did unfortunately get quality control issues with the silver board. One screw was missing and another screw was bolted to the case and stripped.
Overall I would give this a solid 8/10. The plug and play with via compatibility is a breeze, it feels and sounds amazing and it’s stupid cheap for what you get!

It’s heavy for it’s size and feels well built, has a nice clean sound and no rattling stabilizers. Having VIA compatibility is great! but it appears that the knob is not customizable and it can only control Volume/RGB brightness. The stock keycaps are okay and feel better than other cheap keycaps I’ve used, and the backspace key was a little stiffer than the other keys. Changing out the keycaps for “NicePBT”s seemed to fix the stiff backspace key, and improved the feel and sound. Overall it seems like a great keyboard, you get a lot for the price compared to other custom aluminum keyboards. It will work well stock, but is also a good platform to customize to your liking.

I was looking for a small keyboard for my music studio. I purchased a keyboard from a leading brand that was the right size to fit the space; however, it was a chiclet style keyboard, so the tactile experience was not great. In fact, I frequently mistyped things as there was no feedback coming back from the keyboard. I continued my search, looked at some online reviews, found the YunZII AL68 keyboard on sale at a great price so I decided to give it a shot. I am very glad that I purchased this keyboard as it is the right size (60% with 66 keys), built like a tank with an all-aluminum case, has tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and USB) which is important to me, and a fantastic thonky keyboard feel like my old IBM clacky keyboard. Also, the AL68 has swappable key switches, allows you to remap keys if you are into that, and has RGB lighting which is important to some folks. The YunZii is really well built and looks great in my studio. On a side note I showed my daughter the keyboard and she went out and purchase the same model. Great purchase!

Solidna, dobrze wykonana i z dobrych materiałów. Bateria trzyma długo (użytkuję po kilka godzin dziennie od tygodnia a to dopiero połowa baterii!). Brzmi świetnie, nie zacina się a połączenie bezprzewodowe działa bez zarzutu. Podświetlenie jest wyborne. Ma mnóstwo ukrytych funkcji które zwiększają jej użyteczność. W razie problemów z ustawieniem klawiatury szybka pomoc ze strony producenta. Gorąco polecam!!!
Solid, well made and made of good materials. The battery lasts a long time (I’ve been using it for a few hours a day for a week and that’s only half the battery!). It sounds great, doesn’t freeze and the wireless connection works flawlessly. The backlight is excellent. It has a lot of hidden functions that increase its usability. In case of problems with setting the keyboard, quick help from the manufacturer.
I highly recommend!!!

My office is my car and decided I wanted a keyboard I can use on my lap rather than needing to hurt my back reaching the one my job provides, in car computer keyboard. The keyboard’s massive battery lasts all week even after hours of typing, the RGB isn’t very bright but it’s a struggle to see. The premium feel for the price is worth it, although I got it on sale. The connectivity is fast and easy to use. The keyboard sound quality is super creamy. Over design is much better than the AL66 for my preference.
