AULA EA75 Max vs Apos Kono 67°Screen vs Compactness

The Epomaker EA75 Max has an advantage for gaming. It specifies a 1000Hz polling rate for responsive input, and its 75% layout provides dedicated arrow keys that some gamers prefer. The Apos Kono 67° does not list a polling rate in its provided specifications.

The EA75 Max is listed as compatible with Mac, but the manufacturer notes that Mac modifier keycaps are not included in the box. You would need to source keycaps with Mac legends separately if you require them.

Yes, according to the Apos product page, the Kono 67° uses the 'Kono67 Keyboard Utility Software' for customizing key layouts, macros, and per-key RGB lighting. The settings are saved to the keyboard's onboard memory.

The Epomaker EA75 Max has a larger 5000mAh battery compared to the 2400mAh battery in the Apos Kono 67°. While actual runtime depends on usage and lighting, the EA75 Max has the potential for significantly longer use between charges.

Yes, both the Epomaker EA75 Max and the Apos Kono 67° feature hot-swappable sockets. The EA75 Max supports 3-pin and 5-pin switches, while the Kono 67° also supports both 5-pin (PCB mount) and 3-pin (plate mount) switches.

The EA75 Max uses a gasket mount, where the plate is suspended by rubber or silicone gaskets for a softer, more cushioned typing feel. The Kono 67° uses a plate mount, where the plate is screwed directly into the case for a firmer, more direct feedback.

The Epomaker EA75 Max is likely quieter out of the box. It offers a silent linear switch option (Cotton Candy) and features five layers of sound dampening foam inside its gasket-mounted structure. The Kono 67° includes sound-absorbing foam but does not list a silent switch option.

Yes, the Epomaker vendor description states the TFT screen on the EA75 Max can display custom GIFs or images, in addition to system information like time, battery level, and connection status. This is done through its companion software.

Yes. The Epomaker EA75 Max includes a 2-in-1 keycap-and-switch puller. The Apos Kono 67° also includes a keycap puller in the box, according to its 'What’s included' list.

Both keyboards use PBT plastic keycaps. The EA75 Max uses double-shot Cherry profile keycaps. The Apos Kono 67° uses double-shot, shine-through keycaps designed to work with its north-facing RGB LEDs.

The Apos Kono 67° is more portable. Its 65% layout is significantly smaller than the 75% EA75 Max, and its 2400mAh battery suggests a lighter overall weight. The simpler plate-mount construction may also contribute to a lighter build.
