Epomaker Carbon60 vs RT7560% or 75% layout?

The Carbon60 is a 60% low-profile keyboard with a carbon-fiber case and plate, while the RT75 is a 75% keyboard with a gasket mount and detachable TFT screen. The Carbon60 also lists QMK/VIA support, whereas the RT75 emphasizes its layout, screen, and sound-dampening structure.

The Carbon60 is the lighter, smaller option, weighing 500 g with dimensions of 297 × 102 × 27 mm. The RT75 weighs 1165 g and measures 352 × 142 × 45 mm, though both support Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless.

No dedicated arrow keys or function row are listed for the Carbon60, and its compatibility rules describe a compact layout without either. The RT75 uses a 75% layout and provides more keys, although its listed compatibility rule says it has no numpad.

Yes, QMK and VIA support are listed for the Carbon60. Epomaker’s description says QMK runs over a wired connection, and the board also supports hot-swappable switches.

No, the Carbon60 compatibility rule specifies low-profile switches and keycaps only, so standard MX keycaps will not fit. Its vendor description identifies the stock keycaps as low-profile DSA ABS.

The RT75 is listed with PBT keycaps, and Epomaker describes them as dye-sublimated Cherry-profile caps. Its vendor description also says Mac modifier keycaps are included.

Yes, both list Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired connectivity. The Carbon60 vendor identifies its wired connection as USB-C, while the RT75 vendor also describes USB-C connectivity.

The RT75 has a detachable TFT screen that can show GIFs, images, a clock, or system information. Epomaker says the screen module can be replaced with four keys.

Both keyboards are listed as hot-swappable. Epomaker specifies that the Carbon60 accepts 3- and 5-pin switches, while the RT75 description says its switches can be changed without soldering.

The RT75 is described with a six-layer sound-dampening structure, including PORON, PET, acoustic foam, and bottom silicone. The Carbon60 has three listed damping layers: a sandwich pad, switch pad, and bottom foam.

Both keyboards have south-facing LEDs, and both list the same compatibility caution: shine-through legends stay dark and some sculpted keycaps can clip the LED. The Carbon60 additionally requires low-profile keycaps and switches.

The RT75 lists a silent switch option, and Epomaker describes its silent tactile switch for office or night use. Its gasket mount and six-layer dampening are also designed for a softer typing experience; the Carbon60 vendor instead describes its low-profile red linear and brown tactile options.
