EPOMAKER RT100 97 Keys Gasket BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Customizable Display Screen, Knob, Hot Swappable Socket, 5000mAh Battery for Win/Mac (Flamingo Switch)

I'm writing on this keyboard now! It's so buttery smooth and quiet! My dad approves of it! (He sits like 50 feet from me) I used to run on a Cherry MX Brown keyboard for the longest time. I loved it, but I also got sort of fed up with it in the long run. My dad was getting very annoyed by the keyboard and thus I was hunting around for finding a new keyboard I would enjoy owning for a long time. Hence how I found this keyboard. At first I discovered this keyboard and brand from LLT and then HypoTech's review on it. This is how I was sold on the product in the first place. Once I got mine, I fell in love with this thing instantly, so did my dad! LOL. So how does it feel to use? It's premium without the premium price tag. That's basically the honest answer. It's that good! Yes, it's fully plastic but what keyboard out there isn't? But it's also got some heft to it, just like the old 90's keyboards of the day were. I can tell they made sure this thing dampens any and all sound coming out of it so it doesn't sound like a hollowed out shell of whatever it's supposed to be. Once you get it, you will see what I mean. These switches are just incredible for what they are. They're a linear switch and it makes typing just a dream to type on. Just typing all of this text is so satisfying that I want to keep on typing on it. So I will...... ANYWAYS..... These are a type of Linear switch that knocks a lot of noise out of the switch so it's smooth and quiet in operation. It's so smooth in fact, you barely have to touch your fingers on it to actuate the response and feel so quick to type on and feel like a typing god. It's so incredible to use that it just blows my mind how amazing this thing feels. Especially now after typing this far into this review on it. I will admit, I'm not perfect. I had to backspace a million times because I do fat finger from time to time. So it's not going to prevent that. (I did the same thing even on the MX browns...) How does it feel to press on the switches? It's like touching the best button in existence, nice and clean to press and it's very soft. Like a pillow with a soft touch. When you press down hard, it just feels solid and smooth. It's got instant response to your inputs. No matter how light or heavy you press the buttons, they respond instantly. The springs in the switch are "Light" but over time that lightness starts to feel heavier as you go. So you'll start to feel where the switches activate even with the lightest of touches, it just makes typing quick and clean.... except if you're a typo master or a fat finger writer like I am where you hit the backspace a lot to clean up your horrid typing... Speaking of which, if you're a gamer. BUY THIS! It may not be a high end switch keyboard but trust me, that doesn't matter. This keyboard is perfect for the average person to Twitch Stream user who is recording content on their channels (Even a YouTuber). This thing just makes gaming so comfy. I do not want you to skip this product just because it MAY not have the best and fastest switch actuation out there. Trust me, it doesn't make any difference, your mouse makes more of the difference over a keyboard. Believe me, there is nothing out there that makes your gaming THAT much better. (Except if you're using a junky low grade low cost keyboard.... yeah, nothing is topping that trashy product. It's cheap for a reason, buy something with better quality. Anything that runs smoother is already a better product vs a garbage made one) Now, how this thing works in the function part is rather interesting to say the least. It's not bad to use, but some functions I don't know for sure how it works yet. Even Epomaker's Manual is vague in some areas. So do your homework on this board. Recommend you watch HypoTech's video on this keyboard before you think of buying it, it's a quirky thing. That's for sure, but the experience makes up for it. This product DOES have a nice little TV display. It's cute, but a novelty item. So don't buy it ONLY for the screen. Trust me, you'll be disappointed in it. Epomaker has made this thing just that, a novelty to play around with and nothing else. I mean it DOES work, but it's a hassle to make it useable at the moment. Hopefully they figure out what they're trying to achieve with it, it's like they made it an afterthought and thought it looked cool to put on it. I do wish they figured it out with the design when they did it and not afterwards....(It's firmware and driver related. Get it on their website for this keyboard if you're interested to playing around with it. Word of advice, it's not that impressive to use. Software is somewhat annoying to figure out, but it's about the only way you'll get any functional use out of it. So get it and then program it however you like on it) Final thoughts, do I recommend this? 100%, BUT it may not be your cup of tea. This doesn't come native with Micro buttons, but you can map them on this just like any other keyboard. It's not useless, the function command does make this keyboard rather cool to mess around with once you program it to do certain commands on it. The play button and volume control is a nice feature, but it's not 100% necessary on this board to be put on there. But hey, it's for those who actually want or need it for some reason... it works. That's about all I say about it. It's not a standout feature or anything, it does what it needs to do. Anyways, enough of this small but long essay about it. Go buy it already, you'll love it. Trust me!

I purchased this like new . I like the retro look and the quality of the keyboard. I also like the sounds of the switches. One of the switches was faulty , so i ordered a new kit and replaced it. Now it runs great.

I purchased this keyboard after seeing it sponsored in LTT’s recent video featuring this keyboard, for the price and the features I couldn’t pass it up, screen is super cool, right? Lord Jesus Christ was I wrong. I got it and I will say the keyboard felt amazing (wistera linear switch’s) and that’s where the good things I have to say about this keyboard stop. I plug it in using the included cable anddd, nada. The keyboard “bootlooped” turning on and off again with the screen claiming it was connected to windows but windows didn’t recognize the keyboard and windows would eventually would say “USB device not recognized” I figure alright strange maybe a defective cable. Nope. I tried 3 other cables I had and all were the same story. I thought it could have been my usb ports, also was not the case didn’t matter wether I used my front panel usb 2.0 or 3.0 ports or my mobo 3.0 ports. The keyboard DID work with Bluetooth and the usb transmitter/receiver but there’s 2 problems with that. For one YOU CANT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE UNLESS THE KEYBOARD IS CONNECTED WITH A CABLE. That’s just genius right? And it gets better, the screen cannot have animations or gifs put onto it unless IT IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH A CABLE. So great I’m stuck only using the keyboard in wireless mode and unable to add animations/gifs. But it gets worse. For me, the function key did not work at all, I couldn’t change the brightness/color settings and other misc settings on the keyboard unless I used the (shitty) driver/software. And I couldn’t factory reset the damn thing either, since the key binds need the function key to do that. On the screen, the date did not work, the temperature units were stuck on Celsius even when you selected Fahrenheit. The cpu usage wouldn’t work unless the driver/software was run in administrator and set up every time you restart your computer. I am not the only person to experience these types of problems if not worse problems. Do a quick google search of “Epomaker RT100 problems” and see for yourself. It sucks that in concept, this keyboard is awesome but in execution, it’s god awful. It’s really an alibaba keyboard rebranded by a drop shipping company and peddled to people that don’t know any better. I wish I had known before buying this keyboard but I leave this as a warning to people looking to buy ANYTHING Epomaker. DONT BUY EPOMAKER.

+++ Mycket bra kvalite på tangentbordet och jag är supernöjd med känsla och ljud i tryck-klickandet. + Mjukvaran fungerar ok, ljus-customization fungerar bra. - Mjukvaran ber dock om att få öppna brandvägg till kinesisk server. Mjukvaran fungerar även om man nekar brandvägg, men tillåter inte att man laddar ner andras ljus-profiler om man inte skapar konto (vilket jag inte provat). Bläddra genom listor av profiler/animationer/settings är hysteriskt långsamt. HTTP-requests som tar 10 sekunder per sida. -- Media-hjulet är av en mycket lägre kvalite än resten av tangentbordet. Matrialet är plastigt, det känns flimistgt när man vrider på hjulet, och när man trycker på knappen kräver det mer tryck för att sedan kraftigt knäppa till utan nästan någon distans till botten. Varför inte ha samma kvalite som på resten av tangentbordet?? - Mini-displayen har i allafall samma färgschema som tangentbordet, till skillnad från media-hjulet. Tyvärr sitter det klent i sin anslutning. Man måste ta ut 2.4G-mottagaren som förvaras i ett litet fack precis framför anslutningen till mini-displayen (usb-c) för att kunna ansulta mini-displayen. - Färgerna på mini-displayen ser bleka ut från en normal vinkel. Skärmen borde kunna vinklas, eller ha en annan standard-vinkel. Det är orimilgt att tro att någon sitter med huvudet bara 10cm över tangentbordet, eller lutad tillbaks med helt raka armar. - Annat än att kunna ändra bild/animation på mini-displayen så saknas customization helt. Inget annat kan flyttas ändras eller döljas. (Jag tror detta kan lösas med mjukvaru-uppdateringar) - Indikatorer för caps/scroll/num-lock ligger mellan numpad och resten av tangenterna. Ljuset är start och går inte att ljustera. Mycket märkligt då allt annat ljus går att färg-ändra och ljusjustera eller släcka helt. Dessa ljus blöder dessutom in i andra färger. + Använder man inte mini-displayen så tycker jag det går att dölja snyggt med medföljande plast-panel.

This product is by far the best I’ve had! It sounds amazing and the features are easily understandable. I’ve had no troubles with it and it’s just so perfect. I highly recommend it! If you don’t get this you are 100% missing out on life GET ONE!

A great, quirky, but quite flawed keyboard at a decent price Cons - the screen is an absolute gimmick and serves no real function other than for asthetics - poor execution on the software front, the screen could be used for so many things like monitoring CPU and GPU temp but no software support for anything further than gif, time, temp for your city, CPU usage - a lot of things for the screen are broken on the software side and requires some research to fix (unable to set time, unable to see temp etc) - not great value for rrp, diy keyboards with metal frames could be had for similar money - scratches and poor QC on the screen as show (returned the damaged one and all good on the second one) Pros - the screen looks great and unique despite its flaws - great thock even compared to my keychron Q5 Pro - the wisteria linear switch is a must have, feels smooth and sounds creamy compared to the other offerings - good connectivity options and features - good quality key caps, decent LED brightness Personally I really enjoyed the keyboard despite all of its flaws, I returned the first but bought it again and Im glad I did. I got this on sale and for the price of AUD160 and there isnt much out there around that price that offers this level of uniqueness and quality. The screen once all set up looks great and keyboard has some great thock. Sadly this keyboard could have been much much more if only the software was better.

Not normally a sensory person but this thing is a delight to use. Extremely well designed - only small thing I wish it had a ‘skep to next song’ button. Would buy it again.

Loved the clickey keys and the dedicated dongle.. however the Battery life was utter GARBAGE.. internal battery would last maybe 4 hours of use before requiring plugging in (My Logitech G915 tends to last around 2 weeks of DAILY use before needing a charge).. add to that the damned thing just one day stopped communicating with its dongle! Now I have a few hundred dollars of plastic paperweight...
