EPOMAKER EP84 Upgraded 75% RGB Hot Swappable 2.4GHz/Bluetooth 5.0/USB-C Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Programmable Software, NKRO, Dye Sublimation PBT Keycaps for Mac/Win/Gamers(Budgerigar)

I’m new to mechanical keyboards, so take that into consideration when reading my review. The keyboard feels solid and generally well-made. The case is plastic but doesn’t feel cheap. The red switches (no mods) are smooth, quiet, and easy to push. The lower activation force took a little getting used to coming from brown switches, but it was less than a day of office work. However one of the switches (F1) pulled out of the PCB when swapping the keycap. The LEDs look great and the white PCB reflects the light such that the effect is much more even than I originally expected. My biggest issue is that at $95 it was a tough cost to justify - admittedly the “hot swap” capability would be worth it if I had other switches to swap with. Overall, the form factor is great (but not much smaller than a full size keyboard), it feels quality (but not high end), and looks really nice.

Ive had no problems with this so far. I did swap the caps-lock key for a really clicky pink switch. which gives it a nice feeling. the layout does take a little to get used to, Im a professional programmer and working with this keyboard is a joy. software available is a bit lacking and confusing, but you dont need to use it often.

This keyboard does not come with extra keycaps. The title states with PBT Dye-subbed Keycaps for Mac/Win/Gamers, but there are no keycaps for Mac users and gamers; all you get is the default Windows keycaps. Ive contacted Epomaker support and received the following response: There are not the mac keycaps on the ep84s package, if you want it, we recommend you to order it from other sellers.

For the price you are paying, this keyboard is really great choice. Especially if you are looking for a good entry keyboard. It uses USB-C cable and the keycaps are good quality and have a cool color theme that remind me of the ones from Drop. I will say the stabilizers on a few keys, especially the spacebar make it rattle. Easily fixable, just mod it through lube or bandages, or you can even upgrade the stabilizers. The keyboard is hotswappable so you will enjoy upgrading if you please. Overall I recommend it.

Love the hotswap feature and 75% layout. Gateron switches are alittle loose in the plate and have come out while taking keycaps off, but kaihl switches sit firmly in the plate. I would prefer the usb-c connection to be on the side and not under the board but that’s just nit-picking. Everything else is great, works well

Just a good beginning mechanical keyboard no if and or buts has been my main for a while

Love this keyboard it is excellent for PC gaming

I was very excited for this, but when I got it I opened it to a keyboard that was in pieces... disappointed I expected more

Everything about this keyboard is great if youre looking for a mechanical keyboard with this layout, hot-swap sockets, RGB, and no wireless. However, the legends on the keycaps are almost impossible to read unless the RGB is on. The legends are a nearly the same shade of gray as the rest of the keycap, so when the RGB lights are off they blend in.

This was my sons birthday present but unfortunately came defective with two wrong key binds . We are unlucky to not be able to return it as we live in the Caribbean and stuck with a defective keyboard. So not a success story.
