“Such an amazing keyboard, very silent, perfect for office. Incredible construction, good typing quality, and the rgb is very bright for those who enjoy.”
Igor L.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“It's a nice and solid keyboard and the typing experience is good. Except my device has issues with registering some keytrokes sometimes double. This created annoying typos and the source of this problem is still unclear. After contacting epomaker about it…”

“My son loves it. Upgrade from an implosion cap version. Not used to the US layout but he it learning some python. Might as well use a US Keyboard”
TheodorVerified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“Looks great and sounds amazing but keys gets stuck/don’t work or double press too often. When I remove the key caps to clean, it still doesn’t fix the problem. Example, my 7 key doesn’t work when pressed and my G key when pressed wrotes two g’s instead of one.”
