Wow. A keyboard from EVGA. Always a big fan of the EVGA products and really sat up straight when I saw this. I desperately need a replacement for my Logitech G19, and this appeared to have all the requirements covered... except for one. Only 5 macro keys? Very disappointing. I'm looking for a minimum of 10. 12 (in two columns) to 15 (in three columns) would be optimal. 
 
 

7 keys, 2 are with the arrow keys

Also, nearly every key can be reassigned to play/pause a macro, if you wish.

*facepalm*  Right after I bought a full Cougar Perf setup.  Well at least I have options in the future lol.  I'm glad to see an EVGA Keyboard come to fruition.  Maybe when I do my next all EVGA build.

Little disappointed that it's red only illumination. Was looking for the final successor to the G510 in a mechanical switch form. Guess I'll have to keep waiting. Having more macros would be nice as well, but the big seller would be RGB just for customization with different builds that aren't red focused. Especially considering the price, it should definitely be part of the focus behind the keyboard. Even if the LEDs weren't color changeable outside of software, would be a serious competitor to the G510 and G19. Love having the LCD for a HUD on what's going on with my CPU, GPU, RAM, temperatures etc rather than having a OSD. Another nice integration would be replace one of the two usb's on the side with a headphone + mic jack setup (whether passthrough or standalone DAC). I guess you could just plug in a DAC USB into one of them, but it'd just be a bit lower profile.

If you own a AMD GPU or another mfg motherboard, can you monitor anything other than the time/date on evga Z10 keyboard display?
 
 
 
 

My system scheme is blue...this definitely won't do...

Jesus no Cherry MX.  Kalih, Kahil, Kahel...???... mmmm
 
 
Cherry MX Board Silent - 120$ no LED, PBT keycaps. 
Great fonts. Presented on CES 2017, Retro keyboard. 
She will retired HyperX, K70, Gskill, CM QuickFire,... unboxed one after another when first one die.
 

 

 
Problem is because she is real gaming keyboard and use only linear switches and they are great mostly for gaming.
Only Black and Red.
I like her because remind me on Deck Legend. only deck Legend have Cherry MX Clear and that's far more better.

I am still laughing over Jacob saying “what isn’t rgb these days” after releasing this keyboard. Oh the horror when he finally realizes evga’s Newest product isn’t rgb, because why would it be?

 
I would of been rolling if i seen that live on twitch.

He wouldn’t respond when people asked him why the z10 wasn’t rgb. He is really good about acting like he doesn’t see specific questions.

He never responds to me. Sometimes I wonder if he has hidden my username.

 
That happens to me a lot on here.
 
I wonder if EVGA reps will answer this question. If you own another mfg motherboard, AMD GPU or another Nvidia partner GeForce GTX graphics card, will Z10 keyboard be able display information from them.

watch out the links with the buy now takes you to the wrong color. if you click on the blue color you are linked to this ( EVGA Z10 Gaming Keyboard, Red Backlit LED, Mechanical Brown Switches, Onboard LCD Display, Macro Gaming Keys) for the brown switch.   and then when you click on the brown buy now you are linked to this ( EVGA Z10 Gaming Keyboard, Red Backlit LED, Mechanical Blue Switches, Onboard LCD Display, Macro Gaming Keys) for the blue switch.

I just checked, and each keyboard has the correct where to buy links for the switch color.  Please let me know if you're still seeing a problem.

will there be a qwertz key layout? i really want that keyboard, but cant code with qwerty

buts its not just the letters. its the ?_:;`@ which are all over the place on different keys

Are you talking about the physical keycaps or the software function? Physical keycaps can be ordered from third parties in pretty much any config you can dream of but I dunno if it would be worth the cost to you. e.g. Candykeys.com has a bunch of ISO-DE options.

Well my suggestion would be to head over to https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/ and ask for advice on which keycaps to get, they might be able to find you a set that matches the EVGA style.

Also just received mine.
 
No mouse.
 
*update:  Got a speedy reply to my email to customer service.  Mouse in already on the way.

I think they think it's a given that it only works with precision, for now, so what precision supports is what you would see, which most definitely won't be any amd cards.
Adding other apps like Logitech did would be a good ideal though.
