CONCLUSION

   When i received the Poseidon Z which used Kailh brown switches i had no way to compare them to Cherry MX browns and that always bothered me since i couldn't be 100% on the spot. Sure I’ve used quite a few mechanical gaming keyboards featuring brown Cherry MX switches in the past but comparing what you remember about a switch with one that you have right in front of you can never be the same to comparing two mechanical switches by using both at the same exact time. Luckily as i already pointed out since we're using the Professional Model S by Das Keyboard (Cherry MX Blue) i only had to put both keyboards next to each other and use them for a while to notice any differences. Well to my surprise it took over 100 keystrokes for me to notice a tiny difference in audible and tactile feedback between the two switches but it's really not something I’d notice if i didn't have both keyboards here so it would seem that Kailh has done a very good job in cloning the Cherry MX switches (50 million keystrokes is also as high).

   I don't like it when manufacturers ship a product with virtually no bundle to accompany it whatsoever but sometimes it helps cut down the cost and since the Poseidon Z Blue Switch Mechanical Gaming Keyboard currently retails for just USD72.72 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 78Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) I’d say that Tt eSPORTS has done exactly that. Overall the Poseidon Z Mechanical Gaming Keyboard featuring Kailh switches is very sturdy and offers virtually identical experience as the normal Poseidon but for less and that along with the whooping 5 year warranty is good enough for our Golden Award.
