Tt eSPORTS, the leading expert in professional e-Sports gaming peripherals, is releasing the new POSEIDON Z Illuminated mechanical gaming keyboard. Tt eSPORTS is committed to pushing the envelope for future of gaming as well as striving for continuous innovation.

From creating many of the world's firsts such as a retail store dedicated only to eSports gaming peripherals, gaming mice & keyboards with a detachable cooling fan, etc.., Tt eSPORTS now reveals its newest world's first with the 5 year warranty on a mechanical gaming keyboard in the POSEIDON Z Illuminated. In the POSEIDON Z Illuminated, we aim to offer a full-featured yet budget friendly fully back-lit mechanical keyboard for gamers - especially first time mechanical keyboard users.





The POSEIDON Z Illuminated is a back-lit blue mechanical switch keyboard, featuring brightness adjustment, 6-8 key N-Key Rollover support, media keys, and the ability to disable the windows key. It is fully plug and play compatible, with no additional software needed. Featuring the new Tt eSPORTS certified mechanical switches, with usage life of 50 million keystrokes, paired with amazing build quality and accompanied by our world's first 5 year warranty. The POSEIDON Z Illuminated will come in Tt eSPORTS certified brown and blue mechanical switch variants.

Tt eSPORTS Certified Mechanical Switch - Back Story
Tt eSPORTS spent two years testing various mechanical switches with its engineers and professional gamers. And eventually, we found the right one- with White Ra, Team DK, Prime Team, as well as our other sponsored teams, and our keyboard engineers all agreeing unanimously. We now bring to you the POSEIDON Z Illuminated, with Tt eSPORTS certified mechanical blue & brown switch options. The POSEIDON Z Illuminated offers users the budget friendly full featured mechanical gaming keyboard that could both be the perfect choice for a first time mechanical keyboard user as well as a mechanical keyboard enthusiast.

The testing process for these mechanical switches was an arduous one, but these switches passed and we believe in them so much that Tt eSPORTS is now offering the world's first 5 year warranty for a mechanical gaming keyboard.

The POSEIDON Z Illuminated in both Tt eSPORTS Certified Mechanical blue switch and brown switch MSRP is USD $79.99, will go on sale in the USA in February, and roll out to select regions after that.

edit: I just realized this is poseidon Z. I guess they decided to save a bunch of money and discontinue the older version with actual cherry switches.


wtf? I bought this keyboard from newegg which states "Cherry MX Blue Switches" right in the description and now here it doesn't? Did they change all the sudden or is newegg lying?

BTW, the backlighting looks terrible on this keyboard.
