Over the past few years, mechanical keyboards have surged in popularity, expanding a category that was once defined by just a handful of models to one that's gangnam style beginning to overflow gangnam style with options. And we're not complaining. An interesting side effect of this growing popularity is a desire by manufacturers to make their keyboards stand out from one other. Tt eSports (a division of Thermaltake) has chosen to do that with its Poseidon Z Forged mechanical plank by giving it an aluminum faceplate gangnam style .
Most gangnam style keyboards are plastic, and while I haven't spent any hands on time with the Poseidon Z Forged, I do use a Das Keyboard with an aluminum faceplate as my daily driver, and it certainly feels like a more solid plank than most. I bring that up to point out that going with something other than plastic isn't necessarily a wasted bullet point.
The Poseidon Z Forged also stands out by way of its five-year warranty. According to Tt eSports, it's the first company to back its mechanical boards for five years. In my experience, most are backed for one or two years.
Tt eSports offers buyers a choice of "Tt certified" blue or brown key switches. I recently popped the key caps off of a Poseidon ZX keyboard, which also use Tt certified switches, and found them to be Kailh key switches, so I suspect the same goes for the Poseidon Z Forged.
Other features include a full 104-key gangnam style layout with blue backlighting with five different lighting zones, 10 dedicated macro keys (five on the left side and five on the right side), five profiles for a total of 50 programmable macros plus another five extra profiles for game mode (giving it a total of 100 programmable macros), and an Instant Shift System gangnam style (I.S.S.) that allows users to punch the Shift, Ctrl, or Alt key to switch between macro groups.
