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 (Budgerigar Switch)

This is the one I was looking for. I've tried multiple keyboards, but none of them matches the package you are getting with this little thocky boy. Simply amazing.

I use this for gaming and studying and it sounds really good especially for the price, highly recommended.

After unboxing It I was suprised on how good the quality was, before buying it I thought it’ll sound bad and feel like cheap plastic but after receiving it I was completely shocked, it felt very well built and the keys sounded amazing almost as if they’re lubed, the only issue I had with it is one defective switch that either didn’t respond or wrote twice(had to buy switch remover since it went past the refund date)

Very nice keyboard

The best keybord

Best budget keyboard ever!

Keyboard feels nice everything was packaged nicely, except the extra space bar (grey one) had a little black dot of paint on it.

Excelente teclado, sus materiales de construcción muy buenos, su tacto es encantador.

I felt super sturdy and it came with preinstalled foam inside of the keyboard. I also love the switches and keycaps that came with this keyboard and it’s honestly super worth it. The keyboard is pretty heavy in terms of weight so you won’t have to worry about it sliding around your desk. I haven’t had any connection issues with this keyboard, or any switches not working so I think this is a great keyboard to pick up!

was skeptical about this not having any reviews, but it ended up being perfect! came really fast and so far no complaints

Disclaimer: The Epomaker EK68 was sent to me for review. Of course, I will aim to be as objective and fair in the review. I also already own my custom Keychron Q1 which I am happy with so I'm reviewing this out of interest and to help other people thinking of picking it up. Take for that what you will.I'll put the conclusion up here if you don't want to read through the whole review since it's quite detailed. Hope it helps!------Conclusion: Is this a perfect keyboard? Of course not. Parts of it feel a cheap for sure. Anyone can nitpick and criticize for days. But when I think about how much keyboards cost nowadays, it makes me realize that this is really a very good deal. For $130 CAD I get about 70% of my Q1 that cost me $300. Plus it can even be wireless! While I still prefer my Q1, I don't really miss it that much while using this, unlike some other keyboards I've tried where I instantly want to go back. This is especially true with all those gaming keyboards from big brands that easily run $200+ yet feel just awful to type on. Now, alternatively you could build your own custom keyboard to beat this but honestly, I highly doubt you can do it for $130. Basic switches and clone caps alone will set you back like $50-70. And with the custom hobby, you often have to wait months to get your kit in AND have to pay a ton in shipping and customs. This is on Amazon so everything is priced in and has modding options if you want to try. So yes, 5 stars for its value. 4.5 "real" stars because nothing is perfect. If you're someone who's just looking to get into mechanical keyboards, I think this is a very solid starter set. And who knows, the Epomaker EK68 might be enough to scratch that itch and you won't have to look back at this hobby.------What You Get: The keyboard itself (see below). A wireless dongle that can be stored on the keyboard itself. A generic braided long USB-C cable. A decent keycap/switch puller combo. A few spare switches. A few extra keycaps in different colors. I ordered Gateron Yellows but was sent Epomaker's Budgerigar's switches. More on that later.Build Quality: It's plastic. All of it. That's not to say it's good or bad necessarily, I do think it's quite well built and feels sturdy. It's just a little lighter than I expected, especially since the Q1 is made fully out of metal and weighs like 5x more. It's still weighty enough to sit firmly on your desk.It has kick-flip feet to give it a total of 3 typing angles. Note that if you want to do deep mods beyond keycaps and switch swaps, I don't think it'll be very easy. I don't see any outside screws anywhere.RGB: The RGB is kinda muted. There's a thick white polycarbonate plate between the PCB and keycaps. The keycaps themselves aren't transparent in any way. Thus, the RGB from the switches is somewhat blocked. You can definitely see it no problem but it won't be a crazy light-show unless you're in the dark. Epomaker does give a ton of RGB effects options and should suit the majority of people unless you're super duper specific about the effects you want.Wireless/Bluetooth: No problems with the wireless for me. You'll have to read the manual to know the instructions on how to pair via Bluetooth but using the wireless dongle was plug-and-play. Unfortunately, there's no battery-level indicator. With RGB on, I get about 2 days of use without needing to charge. RGB is extremely draining on the battery so it's not too bad IMO. My wireless gaming mouse has a similar thing where RGB on only gets it a day of life but a week without. As such, you can think of 2 days as a worst-case scenario and you should be able to get much, much longer with RGB off. I didn't test it in time for this review however. The EK68 does go into a sleep mode to try and conserve battery every now and then but it didn't give me any issues waking up. Just type. Think of this as a wired keyboard with wireless when you need it in a pinch instead of a truly wireless keyboard. I didn't have any latency issues whatsoever.Knob: By default, the knob is volume up and down, but you can press it for mute/unmute as well. The knob feel is alright. You can feel each "click" for every step which I like but it doesn't feel as good as my Q1 it's a little mushier in comparison.Switches: Like I said, I was sent the tactile Budgerigar switches. They're not too bad honestly. Factory lube could be better. I prefer Gateron Yellows since I like linear but these have been pretty decent to type on. And I got my highest ever typing test speed at 131 wpm with these the first time I used it. Coincidence? Probably. But it goes to show that it definitely wasn't slowing me down. The actuation point is a little weighty and is right at the start. Thus, it feels a little bit like a linear since you get past it right away instead of getting halfway before hitting it. It makes me feel kinda confident when I type, like when I press a key it's because I intend to; you won't be accidentally pressing keys with these. I've done a lot of typing and gaming on these and it performed just fine. I like these much better than Cherry and Gateron Browns or whatever other switches you find in generic gaming keyboards at Best Buy.Typing Feel: I'm not totally sure what the gasket does but it does feel reasonably soft to type on, like I'm not bottoming out hard. I'm using it for like 14 hour days doing work or playing games and I haven't gotten fatigued at all. Unlike my Q1 though, it doesn't flex much at all. That polycarbonate plate is quite thick which contributes to the rigidity I suppose. The feel of each switch is fairly uniform, though the larger switches like the backspace does feel a bit different. My Q1 is softer and nicer to type on but not by that much.Typing Sound: It's not a clicky keyboard so it's not super loud. It sounds a quite muted if anything, probably because of the full-plastic build and polycarbonate backplate. Don't get this if you want to flex your cool mechanical keyboard noises to your gamer friends over Discord. Out of the box, I think it sounds quite good for stock. It's a mix between clack and thoccy, leaning more on thoccy given its muted nature. I find it pleasant to listen to when doing focused typing in an office. You can see the video for how it sounds. I took it with my phone camera so it isn't the BEST audio quality but gives a general feel for it. Wear headphones to hear some of the bass.
