> 3 dayThis is my 2nd hot-swappable keyboard, after my Velocifire M2. Ive been always looking to increase my desk space so out went my bulky Logitech G915 and so began the hunt for my new keyboard. My two boards were the Velocifire M2 with Brown switches and the Keychron K8 board with blue switches (renewed). Unfortunately, the K8 was defective so I had to stick to the Velocifire. In replacement, I decided to order this product the EPOMAKER K870T with Red Switches. I can honestly say, the red switches on this are terrible as I make so my typos when typing but the board itself is amazing in its design. Once I swapped out the reds with browns (I am so grateful I got the hot-swap version), the keyboard is almost perfect to type on. If youre wondering why I had to buy extra switches to swap out, well the white keyboard came with red switches, frustratingly enough. The keycaps have a bit of wobble - theyre good but I recommend replacing them down the road with better ones. DO NOTE: The boxing, packaging will list AJAZZ when you receive it in the mail, not EPOMAKER. Its the same product. I almost returned this product to amazon until I confirmed it was the same product. The volume wheel itself is a huge deal breaker and really helped me transition from one of my most favorite Logitech keyboard features to this new keyboard. Really, the addition of the volume wheel makes wonders! Bluetooth works but please dont expect it to be reliable for gaming. The lights are RGB but theres only 1 preset pattern (waves) in two directions. The pattern is cool in the beginning but really gets tiring after 2 weeks of usage. Then again this is a budget board so I cant be nitpicky about everything right?

> 3 dayThis is awesome! My first mechanical keyboard may be after good old days.... I got the red switches. The switches are factory lubricated it seems. I will put an update after few weeks.

Greater than one weekThis is a bargain of a mechanical keyboard. The Keys are quality and does not rattle. This keyboard weight is hefty and when shaken, the keys do not rattle. I chose the blue switches for the feel. It has detachable USB C and bluetooth but I only use the cable. It has CAPS lock indicated, which is uncommon to find and a feature that I always look for in a keyboard. It comes with extra colorful keys for added colors onto the keyboard. Overall, great buy.

> 3 dayOverall the keyboard itself is good and feels nice. You can read most reviews that state that. However, my keyboard came with a slight annoy flaw-- it is warped. Images show a concave warp of the keyboard. Its made annoying because it means the keyboard doesnt properly sit on the rubber padded corners of the keyboard. This means thats as I type, it slowly and eventually behins to move back-- requiring repositioning. It could have just been a Quality control thing, but trying to bend it back myself hasnt proven to help.

> 3 dayVery nice keyboard. Lighting modes are very bright and nice. Had to return it because I missed the number keys but loved it so much and wish I could have kept it. Very nice and heavy weight. Really like the bluetooth feature.

> 3 dayThis thing is beautiful! I upgraded from the MotoSpeed 60% and the difference is night and day. I am so excited to get to work on my computer because of how beautifully the keys flow. The RBG is absolutely stunningand so seamlessly smooth. All the different modes are so much fun. There is nothing wrong with this keyboard. Even the stock keycaps are pretty.

> 3 day***Edited*** TLDR: Found a board that fixes all my gripes with this one for very little more out of pocket money. I would only keep this keyboard now to gift to someone, or if i were a super enthusiast who wants a good looking keeb for the collection. Best on sale. After just a few days, Ive lowered my score. The Epomaker Cidoo ABM084 is basically this keyboard, except solves every real gripe I had with this board (BT 5.0 vs 3.0, 2.4ghz, foam) while swapping out the scroll wheel for a knob (Knobs are in!), at the small cost of Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause (honestly the only of which I ever use is print screen for screen shots, and am sure can remap one of the media buttons to that on the ABM084). To be honest however I think I actually like the aesthetics of the Ajazz better. I do like this keyboard, still a hell of a lot more than GMMK in the price range, but this one honestly should be cheaper now. Maybe if it were the only one on the market, but for what this one is missing Id only pay half the price. On sale this board would absolutely be worth it especially to an enthusiast who enjoys opening things up and modding them. **End Edit** For me it was between this board and a GMMK, this board although being TKL (Which took me a while to accept and give it a shot) won out. The GMMK did have a superior case to this as far as materials go, however gave me a very Macintosh/apple feel that seemed a bit off putting. the GMMK also didnt have a choice of switches, which is nice. Ive already replaced the switches I got with Gamakey Pheonix switches, because I dont want my keyboard to stand out in discord or talk louder than I do. Theyre super nice but this isnt a review of those switches. However, I will say with these switches keypresses are quieter than the razer membrane keyboard Im replacing - except the stabilizers - theyre still pretty loud but its not overwhelming or to obnoxious. Pros and cons: Pros: bluetooth - although not a mandatory feature for me, its very useful to be able to use the board on a phone, tablet, or even laptop if I want to and I personally dont notice any lag. Hotswappable - Not the best hotswap board only 3 pin and north facing LEDs BUT it is hotswap. Volume scroll wheel - a nice touch - not necessary at all but very nice to have, and doubles as a dial to turn up or down the led brightness, very nice. Detachable USB cable - Always nice - although the way its recessed I see how people can have trouble with it especially using a cable that didnt come with the keyboard. Choice of switches - limited choices but any choice is better than none. Cons: cheaper plastic case, already got a crack where the screw holds in the top bezel directly underneath the f1 and f2 keys due to it being to thin. No usb hub - would be nice to be able to plug the mouse or even a pair of headphones into the back or side of the keyboard, not a huge deal though and this can likely be easily added in later with a custom case and a usb hub pcb. No padding between the pcb and keyboard plate - This likely not only affects the acoustics but also not having that padding means light from the leds can bleed into the channels for other switches, adding a foam layer here would probably help the light pop a bit more and keep it isolated in the channels for the individual switches. Also no padding underneath pcb. Theres no padding at all. Case, PCB, plate, top bezel, thats all youre getting. no seperate 2.4ghz - not a big deal for me at all though it may affect someone out there. Note the PCB _does_ appear to have an area for a radio chip for the 2.4ghz stuff, but doesnt include the radio chip or the caps/resistors/et al for it, but as the traces are on the board it means it may be possible to hack one on, but honestly only should be done for fun and or education because its likely you can buy a pcb with both bluetooth and 2.4ghz for $20 or so from china thats identical to this board in every way except has the extra radio on it already. The software isnt world class, and its often hard to get set the leds to white and they seem to want to glow a pinkish color when set to white. That its not compatible with OpenRGB or VIA is a con for me - which may not be to hard to solve with wireshark and usbpcap but thats not been done yet so for now Im using the Rakk Lam-Ang PRO software. Price: yeah theyre cool but seriously no keyboard should cost near $100 or over and still not have basic QOL features - like foam padding. Conclusion Would I buy it again? Probably. For the custom keyboard market it _seems_ to be an okay value. (of course it can be far better value ordering straight from aliexpress with different branding.. whos got the time or patience for that though?!) It beat out the GMMK Silver in my personal preference category due to functionality and aesthetics . Now if it had come with foam padding, and had the option for silent switches right out of the gate, it would be hands down a no brainer best bang for the buck. However, at its price point, the only thing it _really_ has mechanically over the $30 red dragon that has a hotswap board is: the bluetooth, volume knob, and some choice of switches..
