Compare Yunzii AL75 vs AL80 Differences Side by Side

This comparison is for buyers deciding between two premium CNC aluminum 75% keyboards from Yunzii: the AL75 and the AL80. Both share an identical 6000mAh battery, double-shot PBT keycaps, south-facing RGB, and a gasket-mounted aluminum case. The decision is hard because the AL75 offers more switch variety (tactile or linear) and is slightly more portable, while the AL80 adds a customizable LCD screen, a metal knob, and full QMK/VIA support for deep remapping. This trade-off between simplicity and advanced features is the core of the choice.

Pros and Trade-offs

If you want full control over key mapping, macros, and a customizable visual interface, the Yunzii AL80 with its QMK/VIA support and LCD screen is the clear choice. If you prefer a lighter, simpler keyboard with tactile switch availability and do not need a screen or knob, the Yunzii AL75 offers core performance at a lower cost. Both deliver a premium aluminum experience, but the AL80 justifies its price for those who value deep customization.
