In this video we’ll do our trademark in-depth review of the ZZanest Elements75XT, a hot-swappable semi-custom mechanical keyboard, and then test it with two “King switches” (Gateron Oil King and Everglide Aqua King), plus a few easy mods to see how good this keyboard can type and sound. Ready for another deep dive into the ever expanding universe of custom Mechanical Keyboards?
Let’s check out ZZanest Elements75XT extended 75% and evaluate its interesting form factor, quality and features. Should you consider this instead of a GMMK Pro or Keychron Q1?
