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.

Yunzii AL75

  • +Available with YUNZII Blue Grey Tactile switches or Cocoa Cream V2 Linear switches, offering a tactile option the AL80 lacks.
  • +Slightly lighter at 1410.58g, making it marginally more portable than the AL80.
  • +Includes 4 layers of sound-dampening fillings according to the vendor for a quieter typing experience.
  • +Offers programmable software on Windows for custom RGB effects and macros, as noted by the vendor.

  • +Multiple layers of sound-absorbing material are included for a quieter, creamy typing sound per the vendor.

  • Heavier than the AL75 at 1438.5g, making it slightly less travel-friendly.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

Across six use cases, the Yunzii AL80 wins in five categories due to its LCD screen and QMK/VIA support, which unlock deep customization for gaming, office work, programming, modding, and content creation. The AL75 only wins for travel, where its slightly lower weight and simpler design make it less fragile. Both keyboards share a high-quality aluminum build and gasket mount, but the AL80’s software flexibility makes it the more versatile choice for power users.

  • The AL80 includes a metal knob that can be programmed for in-game volume or other controls.

  • The LCD screen is a modding canvas for adding custom animations or status displays.
