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)

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!

I love this keyboard it looks good sounds good Love the switches that come with it High quality for the price overall just a good keyboard for what you pay also the RGB is nice.

“O” key doesn’t respond sometimes (1 out of 10 chance). You will have to press it 100 times to key in “O”. Refunded it. +battery life is very VERY short. +Akko software is garbage, be ready.

My son told me he loved this thing, but sadly it broke about 3 months after I got it for him. For how expensive this is it should have lastest a lot longer.

All the features - such as, but not limited to, hot-swappable, on-board memory, multiple connection profiles - add incredible value to this keyboard, especially for the price! I keep it plugged into my personal computer to use wired and then switch to one of the Bluetooth profiles to connect to my work laptop while Im working remotely. This allows for me to use macros that are saved to the boards memory while working as well. The battery lasts throughout the full work day before I switch back to the wired connection for my personal use at nights. I personally didnt like the sound of the stock switches, but I had already planned on swapping them out for Kailh Silent Pinks unless I was blown away by the stock ones. The keycaps feel great to type on. I wouldve loved to get the Ocean Star version for that color scheme, but it wasnt available when I was making my purchase.

The 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

I would give this 10 stars for value for the money. The Jelly White switches are so smooth even without lube. There are so many options and customizations you can do with this board. Great entry board!

Only writing this review on the first day of receiving the product but I can certainly start this off by saying that the Jelly-Purple switches have got to be the best switches Ive ever felt on a prebuilt keyboard, and I cant imagine what the feel and sound will be after they get lubed. You also are not able to build this keyboard for the price that they are selling it at, so in reality I would give it a 6/5 on Value for money if I could. May be the best board I have ever purchased that came assembled from the factory.

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!

Note* This review is based on the Gateron Pro Yellow. TL;DR at the bottom. I have mainly only used tactile switches in the past (Drop Pandas), though I have tried out Gateron yellow switches and some generic blue clicky switches in the past so here goes! The things I like: The build of this board is quite great! It is made of a nice and solid metal block. Fingerprints won’t be an issue but scratching may occur if you’re not too careful. The board is also much lighter than I was expecting but still has good weight to it. It charges through USB type C, as everything should, but has wireless connections as well (Bluetooth 5.0 & 2.4ghz) ! The connection is very stable whether in wired mode or Bluetooth/wireless mode. There is support for RGB with different color patterns. There seems to be a decent amount of dampening, but more on that later. The keycaps are made of good quality plastic and have a very slight texture to it. I really dig the colors of the keycaps and font they’re using as well. I think that it will hold up over the next few years with very little scratches or signs of use (if any). The font on the keycaps are also really pleasant to look at. Just a simple and elegant design. There is also a metal knob to control volume which I really like and has solid feedback when turning. The switches I chose are the Gateron Pro Yellows. I chose these specific switches to see if they differ from the original Gateron Yellows. These are what I would consider a linear switch but aren’t as smooth as I expected. They have really nice feedback when typing but exhibit minor scratchiness which. Being a linear switch, they are much quieter than any tactile switch and even some other linear switches. The stabilizers (spacebar, backspace, shift keys, etc.) are also good. They have pretty minimal rattle which is excellent! They remind me of the regular Gateron Yellows (duh), but not as smooth to type on. While they don’t have that extra thocc many might look for, they are definitely pleasant to type on and are definitely a great first switch to try out. Now onto the things I don’t really like: Unfortunately there’s no indication whether or not these are factory lubed on their listing or in the packaging/manual (that I noticed). The biggest con for me though, is the is that clacking sound of the keys when they hit the board. Since the board is made of a metal rather than plastic, resin, or any softer material, they are quite clacky as opposed to thocky (which I personally prefer). Though the stabilizers are surprisingly not rattly, the spacebar and tab keys seem to be the weak link. The keys also seem to have a stronger actuation force than other keys I’ve tried. Unless you disassemble the board yourself, there’s no way to tell if there’s any obvious dedicated dampening. Speaking of, I don’t see any screws on the board so modding might be a hassle but still possible. TL;DR The keyboard is nice! It’s definitely a more clacky sound but it is well built and smooth to type on. For under $100 I think it’s a really solid prebuilt keyboard. There’s some minor quirks that seem like they could’ve been avoided but theyre all minor. Modding may become a chore as there’s no obvious screws and is really the biggest con. It’s definitely a solid prebuilt to start off with, but if you’re looking to mod or add additional features (e.g., foam), you may want to look elsewhere.
