EPOMAKER K870T Hot Swappable 87 Keys Bluetooth Wired/Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with RGB Backlit, Type C Cable, 2000mAh Battery, Wheel Button Control for Game/Office (Hotswap Brown Switch, Black)

***Edited***TLDR: Found a board that fixes all my gripes with this one for very little more out of pocket money. I would only keep this keyboard now to gift to someone, or if i were a super enthusiast who wants a good looking keeb for the collection. Best on sale.After just a few days, I've lowered my score. The Epomaker Cidoo ABM084 is basically this keyboard, except solves every real gripe I had with this board (BT 5.0 vs 3.0, 2.4ghz, foam) while swapping out the scroll wheel for a knob (Knobs are in!), at the small cost of Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause (honestly the only of which I ever use is print screen for screen shots, and am sure can remap one of the media buttons to that on the ABM084). To be honest however I think I actually like the aesthetics of the Ajazz better.I do like this keyboard, still a hell of a lot more than GMMK in the price range, but this one honestly should be cheaper now. Maybe if it were the only one on the market, but for what this one is missing I'd only pay half the price. On sale this board would absolutely be worth it especially to an enthusiast who enjoys opening things up and modding them.**End Edit**For me it was between this board and a GMMK, this board although being TKL (Which took me a while to accept and give it a shot) won out. The GMMK did have a superior case to this as far as materials go, however gave me a very "Macintosh/apple" feel that seemed a bit off putting. the GMMK also didn't have a choice of switches, which is nice.I've already replaced the switches I got with Gamakey Pheonix switches, because I don't want my keyboard to stand out in discord or talk louder than I do. They're super nice but this isn't a review of those switches. However, I will say with these switches keypresses are quieter than the razer membrane keyboard I'm replacing - except the stabilizers - they're still pretty loud but it's not overwhelming or to obnoxious.Pros and cons:Pros:bluetooth - although not a mandatory feature for me, it's very useful to be able to use the board on a phone, tablet, or even laptop if I want to and I personally don't notice any lag.Hotswappable - Not the best hotswap board only 3 pin and north facing LED's BUT it is hotswap.Volume scroll wheel - a nice touch - not necessary at all but very nice to have, and doubles as a dial to turn up or down the led brightness, very nice.Detachable USB cable - Always nice - although the way it's recessed I see how people can have trouble with it especially using a cable that didn't come with the keyboard.Choice of switches - limited choices but any choice is better than none.Cons:cheaper plastic case, already got a crack where the screw holds in the top bezel directly underneath the f1 and f2 keys due to it being to thin.No usb hub - would be nice to be able to plug the mouse or even a pair of headphones into the back or side of the keyboard, not a huge deal though and this can likely be easily added in later with a custom case and a usb hub pcb.No padding between the pcb and keyboard plate - This likely not only affects the acoustics but also not having that padding means light from the led's can bleed into the channels for other switches, adding a foam layer here would probably help the light pop a bit more and keep it isolated in the channels for the individual switches. Also no padding underneath pcb. There's no padding at all. Case, PCB, plate, top bezel, that's all you're getting.no seperate 2.4ghz - not a big deal for me at all though it may affect someone out there. Note the PCB _does_ appear to have an area for a radio chip for the 2.4ghz stuff, but doesn't include the radio chip or the caps/resistors/et al for it, but as the traces are on the board it means it may be possible to hack one on, but honestly only should be done for fun and or education because it's likely you can buy a pcb with both bluetooth and 2.4ghz for $20 or so from china that's identical to this board in every way except has the extra radio on it already.The software isn't world class, and it's often hard to get set the led's to white and they seem to want to glow a pinkish color when set to white. That it's not compatible with OpenRGB or VIA is a con for me - which may not be to hard to solve with wireshark and usbpcap but that's not been done yet so for now I'm using the Rakk Lam-Ang PRO software.Price: yeah they're cool but seriously no keyboard should cost near $100 or over and still not have basic QOL features - like foam padding.ConclusionWould I buy it again? Probably. For the custom keyboard market it _seems_ to be an okay value. (of course it can be far better value ordering straight from aliexpress with different branding.. who's got the time or patience for that though?!)It beat out the GMMK Silver in my personal preference category due to functionality and aesthetics . Now if it had come with foam padding, and had the option for silent switches right out of the gate, it would be hands down a no brainer best bang for the buck. However, at it's price point, the only thing it _really_ has mechanically over the $30 red dragon that has a hotswap board is: the bluetooth, volume knob, and some choice of switches..

This is my first keyboard, so I don't know much. But the battery life isn't as good as they say, one key stays flashing and I have to turn off and turn on the keyboard for it to stop and changing the lighting of the keys is quite annoying. Ohhh, and the placement of the cable on the back is so inconvenient. Apart, from that it's pretty good for me.

I'll start by saying that although I have typed on other mechanical keyboards. This is my first personal mechanical keyboard. After using this for about a week straight, about 4 to 8 hours a day, I can say that I am very happy with this keyboard. I'll list the pros and cons.Pros:- Bluetooth capability, I thought I wouldn't use this that much but that's all I ever really use unless I need it for gaming or to charge. You have the ability to connect 3 devices at the same time, including phones and tablets and switch between the devices in a matter of seconds. Also allows you to move the keyboard frequently and I often times put it on my lap while doing homework when my desk space is full. For regular keyboard use and typing, I see no latency or delay when typing. If there is, its so slight you can't notice it.- Battery, the battery with RBG lights on has lasted me about 5 days. Which I think is very good considering how much time I spend on the computer each day. The RBG lights turn off with 30 seconds of inactivity to save battery and turn back on when you press a key. It is claimed that the battery lasts 100 hours with the lights off, so I've been using it during the day with the lights off now to see how much its life is extended.- Huano Switches, while they aren't Cherry or Outemu, they perform really well. The stabilizers come factory lubed!- RBG Lights, this may not be important to everyone, but typing in the dark can be a real pain without it. The lights are very smooth and bright, and I have not noticed any sort of flickering from them. A lot of customization options with the lights as well.- Software, you can actually use the RAKK lam-ang pro software found online to customize this keyboard. It has features with the RGB lights and other things such as key reassign and macros.- Volume scroll wheel, again another feature that I thought was a neat addition but wouldn't use much. I was wrong, I use this scroll wheel all the time. Love that they added it and with a button press it can be switched to control the brightness of the keyboards RGB lights.Cons:- Switches, although the stabilizers are lubed, I notice there is a slight rattle. Not enough to make me go out of my way and make any modifications. At least not yet.- Ping, if you listen very very carefully and really slam a key press, you can hear a slight pinging noise. Again, you will never notice this unless you have super sonic hearing or really abuse your keyboard.- Extra Keycaps, I love this idea of having a set of colored keycaps for some extra customization. However, one of the control keys came cracked. I reached out to EPOMAKER's support team directly on their website with my amazon order number, and they refunded me 5% of my order cost (about $3.50). I thought this was fair for one keycap and they even sent me a confirmation that the refund was processed. They replied rather fast and it was a great experience.- Bluetooth, I have noticed that sometimes my bluetooth connection to my windows 10 laptop disconnects when I don't type for a while and then reconnects after a couple seconds. Not a big deal or anything to really gripe about. About once or twice, it has disconnected and did not reconnect until turning the keyboard off and back on again.- Not hot swappable, this was the main reason I was hesitant about getting this keyboard. I heard that soldered switches were more reliable and longer lasting, and the other features of this keyboard convinced me to take a chance and lock into the brown switches. Guess I always have the option of desoldering if I need to replace switches.Overall, I think that this keyboard is a really good deal for pricepoint. I wouldn't hesitate picking this one up. It has served me very well with heavy usage for a week straight.

Great keyboard, for BOTH windows and mac computers, and it can sometimes be picked up for a VERY low price (when on sale).Unfortunately some reviews/questions imply the keyboard does not have a "mac" function... however it DOES (though it is NOT via external switch, and is instead by KEY commands). To toggle into "mac" mode (which adjusts the "alt" key to become the apple command key) simultaneously press fn + A. To toggle back to Windows mode press fn + S. Hopefully this will be of benefit to someone. cheers!

If you're looking for an affordable mechanical keyboard, this is definitely a big consideration. I personally do not use it for gaming so not much info to offer there. The connection and button reaction is accurate and fast, and not to mention soooo many light settings for the board that is very cool!

The media could not be loaded.  Video provided is the keyboard straight out of the box - no lube, red switches and original keycaps. Switches are relatively quiet compared to a blue switch although retain their clickity clackity which is slightly dampened.Ordered on a Thursday and arrived on Tuesday the following week. The keyboard comes in a cardboard box with Ajazz x NACODEX branding. Included with the keyboard is a sample set of switches including Brown, Red, Blue and Black. Also included are a set of PBT keycaps which can enhance the overall look of the keyboard. The font on some of these is faded quite bad but as a free addition you cannot complain. The keycaps provided on the board (ABS shine-through) have a very slight rough texture and overall they feel okay - the font isn't bad and the light shines through the letters/digits very well.If you plan on changing from blue switches to a linear variety it may take you a while to adjust. The stabilizers come pre-lubed and are quite rattly. Switches do not. Space bar has a metal clang noise when I press it down sharply - with headphones you wont notice it. Keyboard is quite hefty and build quality is good. Keyboard has bluetooth functionality and changing RGB is really easy simply hold FN + arrow key. Keyboard can be used on Mac and Windows devices. Hot-swap version allows you to change the switches. Stabilizers can be changed but you cannot use plate-mounted. Keyboard comes with HUANO switches as standard. (3 pin)Please see all pictures & video to see included keycaps/switches, sound test and removal of keycap & switch.

I have been through a plethora of keyboards through 2020.Each of them have had issues - some didn't have the instructions as to which hot key did what or some just didn't have enough customisation.This keyboard has it ALL.+ Blue Mechanical Keys+ Bluetooth Connectivity+ USB C+ Custom per key RGB LIGHTING patterns with different speeds+decent battery life+ support for Switch between 3 Bluetooth devices instantly.Honestly, this Keyboard is the best I've used so far. It deserves more than 5 stars. I've been using it on my galaxy tab s7 plus and my Windows 10 pc so far with absolutely no issues switching between the two.

The media could not be loaded.  This is my "laying in bed gaming" keyboard. I was shopping for mechanical, wireless, tenkeyless, rgb, blue switches and long battery life; it's exactly what I got for under $100 which is amazing. Before this I bought a wireless MotoSpeed keyboard and the build seemed good but every time I pressed a key I would get 3 different letters so I returned it. Even though the stock key caps on this one are really good I ended up putting hyperx key caps on it, because why not. I didn't have any difficulty connecting via bluetooth. I ordered a new bluetooth dongle off Amazon at the same time I ordered this, took 2 seconds to sync. Another reviewer says the usb cable is difficult to put in? Maybe if you're over 65 with arthritis... mine goes in pretty smooth. Anyways, sorry for the terrible quality video, just wanted to show what the different colour effects looked like. I should've turned the brightness down before filming but I'm too lazy to do it again. The blue switches are pretty loud (which I prefer) so if you're new to mechanical keyboards you might want to buy red or brown switches that don't clack so much! Unless you have no gf or friends or pets or life and enjoy sitting in the dark playing games alone with a loud keyboard like me... I'm not lonely, you're lonely. CLICKITY CLACK

I had been hearing a lot on the whole ‘experience’ of using a mechanical keyboard and the different switches they use for that most satisfying of typing experiences. After deciding to give it a try and trawling through the many keyboards and reviews on Amazon, I plumped for this version which was fairly priced for a mechanical keyboard and seemed to have a lot of the features I wanted.It arrived quickly in good packaging. The keyboard is fairly heavy with it’s battery and stays where you leave it on your desk. It’s well constructed, and you can replace the key caps. It comes with 10 coloured options for you to customise it to your liking. There is a key cap removal tool too. The key caps are tall and have a lot of travel and reminded me of the old BBC Acorn machines from the eighties.. Not quite that good quality but near enough. It was mostly the same experience too. Loud clacking as you type. You can feel the switch activating on each press and I would say that it is a mildly better experience than typing on my Logitech membrane keyboard. A tiny bit more satisfying feeling that key press and hearing the click. Sounds like every keyboard you ear on the Hi Tech Thrillers on the TV. Then there are the lighting effects which I thought I would enjoy more but it gets old fast. There are several different patterns the lights can display when a key is pressed from slow multicoloured swipes to expanding explosions but mostly my eyes are on the screen so this only distracts when I look down or entertains for a few seconds.I couldn’t connect the keyboard to my PC via Bluetooth but I could on my laptop but the included USBA - USB C cable worked fine. The cable was about 2 meters long and plenty for my set up.The compact design of the keys meant that it was awkward to get the backslash character. You have to press the right hand Alt key and the key above the enter, rather than just the backslash key next to ‘z’ on my current keyboard. Not great for programming where Windows paths and servers have lots of backslash characters.My wrists were aching a little after a short session using this board but that is something I would perhaps have gotten used to.The pairing process is a little long winded too. Press function and either Q,W or E to select which connection to use and then function and P to start pairing. Why not just long press the function and Q,W or E to start the pairing and select the Bluetooth channel in one go?.Anyway, It’s a good value mechanical keyboard with good features but some downsides and the experience wasn’t radically different from a membrane keyboard of good quality and it’s a lot louder. If that is what you are looking for then this is one to consider. I’ve sent mine back.

This keyboard is hands-down one of the best value boards out there right now! It works on Bluetooth and off, which means you can have it wired if/when you need it and you don't even need to turn it on. The best parts of this keyboard are, in my opinion, as follows:- Price: I paid a shade over £60 for mine and it is absolutely the best value keyboard out there with this feature set!- Durability: The board is very stiff and the plastics involved in its construction are superb.- Hot-Swap: This feature is almost unheard of on boards this cheap, let alone one of this quality, features and general design!There are alternatives to this, like the board from Glorious PC Gaming but that is £70 (give or take) just for the board itself. I have bought the key switches they sell and they were very easy to replace. The reason I did this is due to the keys that came with this board being a tad heavy for me.Overall, this is an excellent keyboard and my only real gripe would be the power button placement and it's lack of tactile clicking when in the on or off position. Seeing as I mainly use this keyboard in a wired state this has no impact on me but I thought I'd mention it regardless.Definitely worth a look if you want a keyboard in this spec! This really is a superb bit of kit!
