Product Description

The Yunzii AL71 is a 68% compact barebone keyboard kit designed for users who want to build a wireless or wired mechanical keyboard with customizable switches and keycaps. It suits hobbyists and enthusiasts who prefer hot-swappable switch compatibility and multiple wireless connection options. This kit requires users to provide their own switches and keycaps, offering flexibility but requiring assembly.

Key Features

  • Supports wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless connections, allowing flexible use across devices and environments.
  • Hot-swappable PCB compatible with 3- or 5-pin Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh BOX switches, enabling easy switch replacement without soldering.
  • RGB lighting with side and underglow effects, customizable through macro software for personalized lighting setups.
  • South-facing PCB design, which benefits compatibility with certain keycap profiles and stabilizers.
  • Macro and custom software support, allowing users to program keys and lighting to suit their workflow or gaming needs.

Build Quality

The AL71 features a compact 68% layout in a barebone form, meaning the case and PCB are provided but keycaps and switches are not included. The case material and mounting style are unspecified, so users should consider this when assessing durability and typing feel.

Compatibility

The keyboard supports multiple switch types with 3- or 5-pin stems, offering broad compatibility for popular mechanical switches. The layout is fixed at 68%, which balances compactness with functionality by including arrow keys and some navigation keys. Firmware supports macros and key remapping, though specific OS compatibility details are unknown.

Trade-offs

  • Being a barebone kit, it requires users to source and install switches and keycaps, which may not suit those seeking a ready-to-use keyboard.
  • Unknown details on case material and mounting style may affect expectations for typing acoustics and durability.
  • Battery life and wireless latency are unspecified, which could be important for users prioritizing wireless performance.
