Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you want a project keyboard to tune and modify with extensive programmability, the Evoworks Evo75 is the superior platform. If you prefer a ready-to-use, full-size keyboard with a high refresh rate for gaming and unique features like a screen, the DP104 is the more suitable option, albeit with less room for hardware customization.

Evoworks Evo75

  • +Extensive customizability with hot-swap PCB, QMK/VIA firmware, and multiple plate material choices (FR4, Polycarbonate).
  • +Superior mounting system with butterfly leaf spring, silicone gaskets, and multiple mount style options.
  • +Comes as a comprehensive kit with a carrying case, tools, spare parts, and multiple plate options.
  • +Features a toolless, ball-catch quick release design for the aluminum case.
  • +South-facing RGB LEDs ensure compatibility with Cherry-profile keycaps.

  • Lacks the ultra-high 8000Hz polling rate of the DP104.
  • Its 75% layout omits the numpad and some navigation keys.
  • At 2000g, it is a very heavy keyboard for its size.

Evoworks DP104

  • +High 8000 Hz polling rate for potentially lower latency in competitive gaming scenarios.
  • +Includes an interactive pixel screen with multiple display modes, including audio-reactive and custom pixel modes.
  • +Full-size 104-key layout with dedicated volume control buttons.
  • +Pre-built configuration with silent switch option available for quiet out-of-box use.
  • +Features 10W fast charging for its 8000mAh battery.

  • Lacks hot-swap capability, QMK, or VIA support, limiting switch customization and reprogramming.
  • Uses a simpler plate mount system without the advanced gasket mounting of the Evo75.
  • Full-size layout is significantly larger and less portable.
  • No user reviews are available for this model at the time of writing.
