> 3 dayThe spacebar, shift, etc. feels wonderful. The keycaps look AMAZING, I just wish they had single colored layouts or just more color options. It feels great when typing, and DEFINETLY better than the RK and GK keyboards. For $100, amazing option. These keycaps cost about 40-60 dollars separately, the fact that these are included within the keyboard is astonishing. I also wish this exact board had a 60% version. 9.5/10

> 3 dayThis is my 4th mechanical keyboard, and my second Epomaker (first being a TH80 Pro). The form factor is perfectly balanced, the RGBs bright (though because they are south facing can peek from underneath the keycaps into your line of signt). I replaced the keycaps with Nuphy shine through Cherry profile ABS keycaps - and boy do they THOCK. Deep, marbly sounding after I just packed some car dampening foam into the case and did a tempest tape mod. Caveats: I ordered Gateron Yellows but it came with Epomaker’s own Flamingo switch - turned out to be a pleasant surprise as I actually prefer them now to the Gateron Yellows (the Flamingos have a long stem and 2 stage sprint). Note: if you want to mod it - better buy some plastic pry tools because it is nearly impossible to open the case. Get all your mods done at once.

> 3 dayLike one of the other reviews mentioned, the keys on my new board would skip or be dead not even 5 hours into using it. I experienced this with my A key which is really frustrating considering I can’t play games without ASWD. When we reached out they said they would send replacement but I am worried a new one won’t solve the issue considering many of their keyboards have this problem. Its a good keyboard in all other senses but if it can’t even type is it considered a good keyboard? It isn’t that cheap of a keyboard price to begin with for it to have problems like this. I hope the manufacturer recalls their boards and actually fix this problem because it could be a good keyboard considering the facts.

> 3 dayTo start, this is coming from using a K70 for the last 5 years, I can say this is a great introduction into smaller and more enthusiast grade keyboards. The size is perfect, no function keys and no keypad is great. The keycaps are also super awesome, the pink and black looks so good plus it comes with a ton of accent keys which really make the board beautiful. Finding the rgb software was pretty easy once found on their website. All around a really solid board that for the price I can fully recommend.

> 3 dayOn/off switch seems broken. It doesnt toggle and I have to push very very hard to turn on the keyboard. Im going to return it even if everything else is OK.

> 3 dayThe product works exactly as expected. I expect blue novelty keys for alt and win keys and did not receive them. Other than that theyre great.

> 3 dayI work remotely full time, and it’s a real first world pain swapping my wired keyboard between my work laptop, my personal desktop and my personal laptop. I was hesitant to try anything Bluetooth because many reviews on BT keyboards mention dropped or stuck key presses, which would not be good as someone who writes code for a living. However I took a chance on this. So far it has only been a day but I’m very impressed. I played video games on it using the dongle receiver and there was no delay whatsoever. I’m currently using it paired via Bluetooth to my work laptop, and also do not notice any latency. I will update the review if I begin to encounter any issues, but I’m very happy so far. The RGB backlight is great, there are lots of modes built in that you can cycle through using FN + Del. Pairing with Bluetooth was also very easy, again using FN + E,R, or T (you can pair up to 3 devices to swap between). The keys feel well made, and the pink jelly switches feel really good to press. The keyboard may be small, but most normal size keyboard functions are still here via some FN combination. I have two complaints so far. The first is that the lettering on the keys provided isn’t see through, meaning that while the keyboard is backlit, you can’t actually see the lettering on the keys in the dark. This isn’t a huge issue, just slightly inconvenient. My other complaint is the the on/off switch is either cheaply made or i received a bad quality board. The switch does not fully toggle to on. I am not confident the switch will even hold up for over a month, therefore I have submit for a replacement. If the new board has no issues with the switch I will be happy. Otherwise I will revisit this review. Edit: replacement keyboard has exact same issue. The on/off switch on the bottom is very poor quality. When turning it to on, you don’t get the same click as when turning it to off, and 75% of the time I turn it to the on position the keyboard doesn’t actually turn on. I then have to wiggle the on/off switch some for it to turn on. Makes me feel like the switch is just going to completely fail in a months time, and I won’t be able to get it to turn on at all. It’s really a shame, because this keyboard is so close to being perfect, especially in this price range.

> 3 dayThe Epomaker EK68 comes decently packaged and sets up quickly. P-n-P out of the box with built-in options and a driver that allows for customized setups. The driver is somewhat technical to use as you will have to poke around a bit to figure out how to do what you want, but with a little patience, you can do anything you want from lighting to layers to macros. Mine came with the tactile budgerigar switches. Not top of the line, but a good bump while being fairly quiet. The case is plastic with very little flex even when forced. The overall sound of the keyboard is muted and fairly thoccy without any modification. Triple connect modes work smoothly and allow connectivity to 5 devices (3 x BT, 1 x 2.4 wireless dongle, 1 x USB-C cable.) My only desired change would be a hotkey for switching connectivity modes. I simply put a label above the num row so I know which way to move the switch. For a sub $100 keyboard though, this is just fussy and the switch works fine once you remember the direction to move the switch. Would easily recommend this keyboard as a great board that is also budget-friendly.
