EPOMAKER EK68 65% Gasket NKRO Hot Swappable 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth 5.0/USB-C Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Knob, South-Facing LED, 3000mAh Battery, RGB Backlight for Win/Mac (Gateron Pro Yellow)

Looks good in my setup. I’m a software Engineer working from home. Beautiful sounding out of the box, but made it better after a few, minor mods: added Poly fill & tape, and relubed. I like how it sleeps automatically after being idle for battery conservation. The volume knob is handy. It’s made of plastic but has a nice finish. The 2.4ghz dongle is nice too. I have it connected to my Apple studio display, so I don’t have to switch Bluetooth devices when I switch from my work/personal MacBook. Just a few cons that are trivial - Mac & Windows switch are switched for some reason. No biggie since I only use the Mac setting. - not QMK or VIA software configurable, but this is fine for me. It would’ve been nice though. Overall I really like this keyboard. Such a good value for the price considering I’ve built much more expensive keyboards in the past.

I love this keyboard! There are lots of different light settings, and the keys are satisfying to press. After using it for about awhile I have not had any major issues. There is little to no input lag when using it wirelessly, and when it runs out of battery I can just use it wired. The battery life is also surprisingly long. I used it for about a week and a half with the lights on (turned the keyboard off at night) before I got a low battery warning. There are two keyboard heights to choose from, which was very helpful in getting it set up on my desk. I also love how compact it is! I was worried at first about not having function keys or arrow keys, but pressing the fn key with a number has not given me any trouble with gaming, and I just rebound the arrow keys to WASD or held down the fn key with WASD when playing games that needed it. Overall, it is a pretty nice keyboard that I enjoy using on a daily basis!

Youre going to know the commands to turn it on. Typically Fn + E+R+T normally works

Loved this keyboard!!! hot swap, great PBT keycaps with novelty keycaps included, and stabilizers came lubed, this keyboard is of great quality and has the perfect form factor for anybody looking for a good productivity mechanical keyboard....

Had an amazing first impression using this board, sounds great and love the feel of the keys/switches... However, Ive had the board less than a month (and have been away on vacation roughly 10 days of that) and already have keys not responding as they should. Ordered some new switches to replace those that seem to be causing issues (wasd ofc) and hopefully will be able to troubleshoot to use this new board long term

This keyboard was so nice I actually decided to write a review. Easily the most bang for the buck keyboard, smooth and quiet switches, two layers of dampening foam, and great feeling key caps (theyre a little smaller than what I am used to but thats just something I will have to get used to over time). If you want a good keyboard that you dont have to do anything to just buy this one and you wont regret it.

I love this keyboard. Its my first keyboard that wasnt full sized, stock straight from the box, basic AF. I modded it with tape, a smidge more foam in the case, and added filmed and lubed gateron milky yellow switches. It sounds awesome and works wonderfully. Some small issues to address though. The power switch is now a little wobbly since doing the tape mod. Unsure why it wont stay firmly in place. Also, the space key sounds very hollow, so I took a bit of double sided foam tape and put it in the gaps. Its much better now. I had a hard time finding solid information about whether or not the rbg is customizable. The color can be either rainbow (I think their term is flashy) or 1 color or your choosing. They have a color wheel to pick from, but because the keycaps are pink underneath, any color you choose will have a pinkish tint. Unless you swap out your keycaps, theres no pure white, etc. I did swap mine out, but I got cheap replacements that sounded awful, so I went back to the stock keycaps. Lastly, I had planned on using this keyboard in wireless mode sitting in my lap, but it has a hard time connecting that way unless its oriented in a very specific manner, which would make game play difficult. For now I keep it wired, but the cable is a bit short for my setup. Ive been looking for a replacement cable, but it seems like most of them are all the same length. All in all, I love this keyboard. Though Ive found myself missing the numbers pad a few times, Ill happily go without for the size and simplicity of the akko 3068b.

I 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.

I dont claim myself one of those custom mechanical keyboard gurus that have a ton of experiences in the hobby, but Ive had a few custom models and the budget prebuilt mechanical keyboards on my own recently. I got it with the Budgerigar switches which are on par with well-known aftermarket tactile switches like the U4T and love how the keyboard overall feels when typing and the deep and solid sound signature. It also has three different connection options (wireless, bluetooth and USB), and you can also choose between WIN and Mac to ensure different key functions work. If you are looking for a great non-custom mech keyboard, this is a great option!

Solid build, came with a bad switch but hot-swappable keys means I can switch it with an unused key. Wish the keyboard just worked as intended.
