Picked this up and for $20 this is a insane value keyboard. Switches alone is worth the whole keyboard price. My rainy75 stabs started ticking and wanted to try a new keyboard with different switches. Epomaker hate or not I'm totally impressed for $20. Actually I like it more than my Nuphy Halo65.

I like the Epomaker EK68k - With Banana Split linear switches (Oh, oh my... sex for the finger tips!). And, currently, GMK (KBDiy - thus, clones) Red Samurai (to be replaced, when they arrive, with 8008 - the red/pink ones) PBT Keycaps - cheap as chips from AliExpress! 65% - with arrow keys, pg up/down and del key.... Thats all I need... The small form factor saves space (Great for gaming - in that it keeps the mouse closer to your body and this is sp much more comfortable. It may not seem much of a difference vs a full keyboard, and even less vs TKL.. but in practice, its feels so much smaller and compact. + so much better!! The difference is huge, and outside of having a second monitor... the best improvement you can make to your setup. Also, for FPS... more inches to swipe with, so lower sens == better accuracy)... I don't miss numpad, nor F keys... Your mileage may vary. Also use it for typing... again, space/comfort > keys I never use (and, in the case of the F keys... can Fn+numbers), Stabs are nice. , sounds thocky/good and feels very nice.. But... the banana split switches (its hotswap) are 75% of the excellent feel! 2.4ghz wireless, and bluetooth... alongwith wired. RGB. Keycaps that come with it are more than usable, and PBT. Switches... not my thing, but people like them... Espec the linear flamingos. But as its host swap, they can be changed! Best bit of it all..? I paid £40 for it on Amazon... Apparently, its £30 atm - though only 1 in stock. It is such amazing value its untrue... I remember paying £170 for a Vortex Race 3 a few years ago, and its missing most of what the Epomaker has... wild! Has software thats okay... just make sure to download the ISO one if you have ISO keyboard, and ANSI for ANSI (obvs...) otherwise it won't work, and its not super helpful in giving you a hint P.S. Has a rotary knob for volume control! This is very, very handy!

I stand by the EK68. It's by far the best budget keyboard around, especially for its current incredibly low price. It's £39.99 new on Amazon UK right now.

EpoMaker is basically a reseller in a world where everyone hates resellers. It's a decent keyboard and as others have stated it's just other brands parts put together and called EpoMaker. I bought 3 and I don't regret it at all. Always good to have back ups of things you enjoy! Now I just have to get rid of my previous 3 backup keyboards LOL!

My conflict runs deep, I still have an epomaker and it literally only works with the included cable, the foam dampening was fucked when I got it and the software just doesn't work... But, it is one of the best feeling keyboards I have, I have a lot.

Just revcd mine. Probably the best keyboard you could get for $20 honestly. Feels pretty premium with the aluminum body and it sounds nice too.
