I’ve been generally happy with Epomaker’s keyboards over the past few years, but rarely have I said, “Wow, this is amazing to type on” like I did with their newest keyboard, the TH99 PRO. Then again, I don’t think I’ve reviewed a PRO keyboard from them, so I may have just been missing out. I digress, my first few minutes of taking the TH99 PRO out of the box, plugging it in, and tip tapping away s...[Read More]
Back when I reviewed Epomaker’s QK81 mechanical keyboard, I praised Epomaker for how it avoided cutting corners in the spirit of cost-cutting a keyboard into the “budget” category. It contained the essentials, ranging from hot-swappable switches/keycaps, a volume knob, a large battery for wireless use, and materials feel anything but cheap. I’m happy with how the QK81 has lasted all this time sinc...[Read More]
A little over a month ago, Epomaker released a new keyboard as a part of their RT-lineup of keyboards, but it lacked one thing…a mini-TV screen! The RT-lineup of Epomaker’s keyboards incorporate a miniature TV screen as to connect to a vintage and retro-tech aesthetic. Well, there’s a new RT keyboard on the block, and it features a detachable TV screen (the same one I love)! The RT82 is the newest...[Read More]
Earlier this year, I reviewed the Epomaker Galaxy 100 keyboard. I was thrilled with how Epomaker designed this full keyboard with premium materials, full QMK support, and a creamy/thocky acoustic profile in mind – all under $100! The only thing I really criticized it for was its keycap combinations: One colorway used MDA keycaps while the other colorway used Cherry keycaps. Where was the consisten...[Read More]
Epomaker’s RT100 holds a special place in my mechanical keyboard-full heart not just because of how it feels, but also because of its novelty. It has a little television screen that plugs in! Sure, there are keyboards with embedded customizable screens; those are a dime a dozen. There is no other line of keyboard with that little detachable television screen, though. It’s the perfect intersection ...[Read More]
Gaming mice are everywhere. Most of what you will find is led by design, where you might get a gazillion buttons mixed with a supposed ‘ergonomic’ design that is supported by overly complicated software. In my opinion, the more artsy the mouse with too many unnecessary features and complicated software, the more try-hard the company is at pushing the word gaming in their product. When searching fo...[Read More]
Epomaker’s recent foray into the sub-$100 range of keyboards has surprised me in all the right ways. I’ve tested out several of their recent budget keyboards over the past few months and have been consistently impressed with the keyboards’ build quality, typing feel, and acoustic profiles. The EA75, an improved variant of the earlier EPOMAKER X AULA F75, delivers a nuanced aesthetic with creamy so...[Read More]
Keyboard progression has become a huge deal lately. As more PC elit…gamers jump on the hype train with that platform, having the right keyboard is essential. Esports folks need a more complicated, adjustable keyboard. Streamers who bring their personality and precision require a more nuanced way of stroking keys. For old people like me, I just need that sweet-sweet creamy sound that assures my PC ...[Read More]
Epomaker’s QK81 mechanical keyboard isn’t explicitly a cutesy or kawaii keyboard. Nowhere on its store page does it attempt to lean into a softer feminine vibe, but with the White Pink variant on my desk I cannot help but feel like this is a great step in a direction free of hypermasculinity and/or darker tones. It’s a nice change of pace, really – far too often do I see prebuilts that seem to cat...[Read More]
I haven’t been a huge fan of smaller keyboards, mainly because I’m a traditionalist and have always loved the use of a keypad. But occasionally, I run across a smaller keyboard that feels good, types well, and can be forgiven for its lack of keypad-ness. This reviewed keyboard is such a case. The HE80 from keyboard maker Epomaker is a 75% keyboard that brings comfortable typing, accurate key punch...[Read More]
I get it, mechanical keyboards can be expensive. Finding the perfect mechanical keyboard for work and/or play is an expensive hobby that spans years. Don’t ask me how much I, myself, have spent on this hobby, since…well, it’s a lot. The quest for finding the thockiest and best-feeling keyboard has me strapped in quite tightly. I digress. Epomaker, a mechanical keyboard manufacturer I’ve grown to l...[Read More]
A short while ago, I reviewed Epomaker’s TH99. It enthralled me with its creaminess. Its Creamy Jade switches more than lived up to their names as I tip-tapped away doing work and playing video games. It was a great keyboard with one fatal flaw: I wanted it just a smidge bigger, in a full-sized keyboard format. I also wanted another keyboard to use with those Creamy Jade switches… …and now I have ...[Read More]
