EPOMAKER EP84 84-Key RGB Hotswap Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with PBT Dye-subbed Keycaps for Mac/Win/Gamers (Gateron Yellow Switch, Grey Black)

It’s a cheap wireless hotswap keyboard. Build quality is budget some of the keys don’t line up and the way the case snaps together isn’t very secure. Battery life leaves much to be desired and it doesn’t tell you it’s about to die. Great mod project for the price.

Buona tastiera, la qualit dei Keycap discutibile, ma si possono cambiare, quindi non molto un problema.
Il software per programmare le Macro non semplicissimo da installare, io ho dovuto controllare ONLINE e scaricarlo, non cos impegnativo o complesso, ma da far notare.

I LED sono buoni, il gioco di luci c’ ed il feeling di scrittura molto buono.

Consigliata.

I really enjoy using the EPOMAKER EP84 84-Key RGB Hotswap Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. The hotswap feature is very convenient and allows me to easily switch out the key switches to find my perfect preference. The RGB lighting is also a nice touch and adds some personality to my setup. My only complaint is that the build quality doesn’t feel as solid as some of the more expensive mechanical keyboards I’ve used. However, for the price point, I think it’s a great value and would recommend it to other gamers.

Excellent size for office work. It has all the keys you need and no long finger travel.

I love the way the keys sound, deep thunk rather than a click. Switches are nice and great for the office with no high audible clack.
I recommend this for any office professional who does a lot of typing (legal work, reception etc.)

Die Tastatur ist eine triple mode mit ^ateron pro yellow schaltern die wireless edition.

Pros :
– Angenehmer Sound beim tippen,
– 3 Verbindungamodi
– layout mit 84 Schaltern
– hochenverstellbar
– hat software

Cons :
– Plastik nicht gut verarbeitet fur 121 fhlt sich was billig
– die Tasten sind nicht cherry mx style tasten und beim tippen kann mann schwerigkeiten mit unteren teil der Tastatur haben nach langeren tippen
– Tasten sind nicht transparent was fur 121 recht entauschend ist.

Fazit, weil es ein custom Tastatur ist, bekommt die von mir 5 sterne weil ich mir fast alles was mir nicht gefahlt austauchen kann, was beim anderen Brands wie Logitech, Razer usw. noch nicht ganz mglich ist.

Decent product (review is based on the brown gateron switches which are a tad bit softer than I would like) rgb is simple but nice and suit the black/Grey aesthetic

bestechend schick, handlich, Super-Tastengefhl, gute Bedienbarkeit – ein Schnppchen fr Eingeweihte. Kabellnge stimmt, Farben der Tastaturbeleuchtung angenehm, der Traum pubertierender Gamer mit Design- und Technik-Geschmack.

Very good and comfortable. I would say is really worth the money and the price is very good.
Keep up the good work. 🙂

Tastiera con switch di ottima qualit. L’unica nota leggermente negativa il software

Ottima tastiera con un buon rapporto qualit prezzo
Ottimo feedback con i tasti. Troviamo vari tipi di illuminazioni tutti molto carini
Unico difetto quello che dovevano metterla disponibile anche con un layout italiano

I have purchased many keyboards in the past and none have been as good as this. The build quality is great and the keyboard sounds very nice. This is a perfect keyboard for people that want to start on custom keyboards as it’s very easy to mod!

First off, it’s affordable. I am looking for a 75% for work and I don’t want something too flashy or expensive. This EP84 fits the bill.

For mod, I add 3 layers of tape (tape mod), the case already has foam so I leave it be. Then I swap the switch for Gateron G Pro 2.0 Black, and PBT XDA keycaps. Now it’s a very thocky but silent keyboard, great for work environment.

The worst thing about this keyboard is the cable socket, it’s so deep inside the case so you HAVE to use the stock cable, most other cables will not fit into the tight space around the USB-C port

Overall I still highly recommend this keyboard, especially when you’re looking for something to not too complicated and flashy for work

Pass la bonne semaine d’adaptation au qwerty (merci au mode US-international pour avoir les accents..) le clavier est vraiment trs agrable d’utilisation. En plus d’tre beau !

J’ai pris la libert de lubrifier chaque switch pour attnuer le son des touches mais il plutt silencieux de base avec les switchs Flamingo. Ce ne sera pas obligatoire donc. A part peut-tre pour la barre d’espace.

Les switches sont monts sur une plaque rigide, elle-mme monte sur une mousse pour absorber les bruits.

Honntement pour le prix la qualit de visu et ressentie est top.
Avec ou sans le RGB il est vraiment superbe.

Pour ceux qui se posent la question, le prix plutt abordable de ce clavier est en partie expliqu par des keycaps d’entre de gamme. (en plus d’un boitier plastique et non alu) Mais a ne se voit pas au quotidien. Les touches sont bien finies et mattes. Les lettres bien nettes. Le plastique est bien color dans la masse. C’est top. >>> Par contre si vous comptez les dmonter, attention, car le plastique est un peu friable sur les extrmits. Utilisez l’outil donn avec le clavier et vitez les extracteurs en forme de bague et qui se clipsent sur la touche, car ils risquent d’arracher un peu de matire la base des keycaps.

Pour terminer, le logiciel parait trs bricol. Pour le coup a fait amateur. Ce n’est pas un point faible pour moi, il fait ce qu’on lui demande et se fait oublier par la suite. Il fonctionne correctement, autant pour crer vos macros ou assigner des couleurs spcifiques chaque touche. (attention dans ce mode custom, aucune animation sur les couleurs, ce sera fixe)

Bref, dans l’ensemble je ne suis pas du tout du par ce clavier qui est je trouve bien plus joli que beaucoup de claviers “mainstream”pour un prix tout fait correct et un aspect top quali.
Je l’utilise la fois sous Windows et MacOS, rien signaler.

In 2021 I bought this same but the white/grey version, the quality as expected, good RGB and backlight on the keycaps (fully opaque)

In difference from this new are some changes, some good, other… not so much

– Style keycaps is very good, but I thought it would have a partial transparence to see the keys in low light but this is not the case, but very nice looking keycaps anyway
– The RGB lights are powerfull and very colourful too
– The presets to change the colors, intensity and velocity need like a restart of the keyboard, dont know if its normal, like 1 second all RGB off while changing, my previous keyboard was instantly chaging with this actions
– More vivid colors (specially the yellow/orange looks nice with the color of the keycaps too)
– Prefer the old movement patterns
– Can toggle the Win and Alt keys depending on the OS (nice feature)
– Very soft gatheron brown switches and keycaps to the touch

As I said, I bought this expecting the same, differing only the keycaps and nothing else, but noticed the new features, some good, some other not so much, but in general, its all good.

I recommend this produc

I was looking for a mechanical keyboard for the office and needed a small one with ergonomic keys. It had to be as silent as possible before any mods. I have to admit that the Epomaker EP84 is a great choice. Typing feels amazing and the gateron yellows are quiet enough to keep in the office. I had no complaints from colleagues who didn’t even notice it, which was a win!

The keyboard is responsive and pairs okay with my MacBook Pro M1. The existing Mac functionality is really good and provides most options that can be found on the macbook keyboard. I haven’t found out how to incorporate the fn mac key yet as I need it for switching from typing languages. Also, an issue with M1 macs that probably has nothing to do with the keyboard is that after setting the laptop to sleeping mode I need to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard for the laptop to recognize it.

The 84 keys that include del, home etc and the f keys make it fully functional for gaming and working alike while also providing a compact size that could fit most desks. Another concern I had was switching to a usb-c to usb-c cable to switch from the one provided in the package. That worked fine and now I use a more premium usb-c to c cable. For people who want to use a different cable than the one provided please be wary of the connector size as the keyboard port might not fit all usb-c connectors. I have provided a ruler where you can see the margins that would fit fine.

All in all a great purchase. I even got a second for my home desk. At 55 pounds it was a steal. Can’t recommend it enough!

I’m quite new to the keyboard hobby, and I had been thinking of dipping my toes in to it for a while. this was a great purchase because I did not want to buy a 60%, the only mods I did to it was lube the stabilizers and put more foam in it as it only comes with a thin piece of foam dampening when purchasing. It sound great without the mods if you are not comfortable with opening up the case. Only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star is north facing leds as they interfere with cherry profile keycaps if you don’t put a spacer in the stem hole/around (piece of folded paper in the steam hole to give it a few more milometers or some really small O-rings a round the base of the stem)

Initially buying a keyboard and especially at this price for someone who doesn’t spend money often is scary. When I first got my hand of the keyboard though the feeling was great. The key presses felt great, the sound is crisp. Getting used to a keyboard after using my laptop keyboard for so long was difficult but worth it because the feeling of typing on it is refreshing and I like it a lot. I’m not sure if I miss the missing keys that are on a full keyboard and some of the buttons display the wrong sign and I cannot for the life of me get the program to customise the keyboard colours and key binds to work but that is more the fault of epomaker than amazon. The frame was ever so slightly warped but a thin piece of card in the right spot stops the wobble and overall it is a nice keyboard for it’s price point. Knowing that it’s hot-swappable means the keyboard can last me years and years to come with contributing lots to waste. Overall happy with it and I hope it can keep going for years to come. – One of Many Internet Users

Sounds and feels amazing to use, really ergonomic and responsive!

Great product overall, the design is simple, weight is decent, and loving the sound it makes when I’m typing. The fact it’s also hot-swappable gives me broader options to customise my keyboard, which I am looking forward to doing! The RGB isn’t really not well matched with these keycaps, but they do give out some options to choose from

pcb foam and case with fac lubed switches im still using , its a 85 so lubing switches takes time

Cominciamo col dire che ne ho acquistate due. Arrivata la prima, ma mia fidanzata me l’ha rubata.
Le cose da dire sono tantissime, procediamo per punti.

LATI POSITIVI
– il formato fantastico: consente di avere tutti i tasti di una tastiera TKL (senza tastierino numerico) ma con un layout molto pi compatto.
– nonostante sia di plastica, la qualit costruttiva eccellente. Attenzione che le diverse combinazioni di copritasti (keycaps) e interruttori (switch) fanno variare di molto il risultato finale. Tutti i keycaps sono in PBT, materiale eccellente che non trattiene l’unto delle ditate e pi durevole, ma quelli neri/grigi e grigio/bianchi lasciano trasparire la retroilluminazione RGB e a tastiera spenta le lettere si leggono a fatica, mentre quelli ”geometria” e ”vintage” non lasciano trasparire l’illuminazione e sono leggermente pi spessi, personalmente preferisco questi ultimi. Inoltre varia il profilo dei tasti, e anche qui personalmente preferisco gli XDA, li trovo pi eleganti e riducono la corsa degli switch.
– bellissima out of the box, non richiede mod particolari e il suono dei tasti davvero stupendo. Ho provato gli switch gialli (ideali per giocare, ma anche scrivere perch non sensibili quanto i rossi) e quelli neri, che ho trovato molto belli per scrivere.
– hot-swap, il che significa che se entrerete le buco nero delle tastiere (non fatelo), potrete sbizzarrirvi nello scambiare gli switch a piacimento. L’epomaker EP84 supporta tutti i principali switch sul mercato, a 3 o 5 pin, e sul sito affermano siano supportati anche gli switch ottici. Per altri mod invece un po’ pi complicata, perch per smontarla non prevede viti e per separare il PCB dalla piastra occorre tagliare con un tronchesino dei dentini di plastica. Ci sono diversi tutorial su Youtube.
– se siete amanti del genere, gli effetti RGB non sono male e del tutto controllabili dalla tastiera, senza dover obbligatoriamente installare il software

LATI NEGATIVI
– il cavo in dotazione non un granch. gommato e non molto lungo, diciamo che fa il suo dovere ma niente di pi. Inoltre sul retro della tastiera troverete una canalina passacavo per scegliere da che parte far uscire il filo, buona idea, ma riduce le possibilit di scelta se si vuole comprare un cavo custom.
– gli stabilizzatori non sono bellissimi (ma pi che decenti) e escono dalla fabbrica troppo lubrificati.
– il software poco intuitivo, ma onestamente per l’utilizzo standard della tastiera non serve a nulla.

In conclusione, ho mandato in soffitta la tastiera ”gaming” che avevo, della Corsair, molto pi costosa e con molti pi fronzoli, e sono passato a questa, davvero stupenda.
Ho acquistato a parte un set di keycaps sempre della epomaker per personalizzare la mia (XDA dawn).

BREVE TUTORIAL per LE LETTERE ACCENTATE
Il layout ANSI US, ossia il tasto enter pi piccolo e in orizzontale, e non ci sono le lettere accentate. Come fare?
In Windows 10, nelle impostazioni della lingua, dovete aggiungere una nuova tastiera: ”Americano – internazionale”. Se non la trovate, provate prima a installare la lingua inglese.
Una volta selezionata la tastiera controllate che nella barra degli strumenti vicino a orologio e data compaia ITA INTL.
Per ottenere l’accento grave, prima premente il tasto dell’accento (sotto ESC) e dopo la lettera da accentare. Potete dire addio agli apostrofi usati per accentare la E maiuscola (e alle combinazioni tipo ALT+etc etc): e cos via.
Stessa cosa per l’accento acuto, che si trova alla sinistra dell’invio: perch n s. Stesso tasto per l’apostrofo, avendo l’accortezza di premere la barra spaziatrice dopo appunto l’apostrofo.
Spero possa essere utile.

TL;DR: tastiera fantastica, compratela.

I got the black and grey keyboard with Gateron Brown Switches. It’s got a very nice tactile feel, fairly quiet keyboard and because it’s hotswappable you can have a lot of options for modding- swap the switches, keycaps, add o-rings, lubing, the whole deal!

– The build feels fairly sturdy, good weight so it doesn’t slide around, it sits flat on my desk.
– See-through letters on the keycaps looks really cool with the RGB, however if the RGB is off it’s very difficult to see.
– RBG looks very aesthetically pleasing, it’s not too obnoxious/bright. I personally like having the orange lights, it’s nice and doesn’t distract.
– The stabilisers (as seen in the photo) are PCB-mounted, not sure if screw-on or snap-on but I would guess snap-on. This makes them very stable and they don’t rattle much, which makes the keyboard less noisy and much more pleasant, a HUGE plus. Also love that they’re a cute white and pink!
– The 75% layout works great for me. I thought the arrow keys would feel a bit claustrophobic but I’ve had no issues with their placement at all, it feels very intuitive. The key labels are a bit different from UK keyboards, however if you’ve got the muscle memory for where UK keybinds are you won’t have an issue (it’s mostly for finding the #, , ” and @ symbols that it’s different).

I’m overall very pleased with this purchase, it’s a great keyboard and I hope to use it for many more years to come and mod it to my heart’s contempt! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a customisable pre-built mechanical keyboard.

EDIT- After opening up the keyboard, I noticed a few great things about it!
1- It’s got a layer of foam between the PCB and backplate
2- PCB and backplate are screwed together
3- Backplate is aluminium! Nice and sturdy.
4- There was a nice layer of foam underneath the PCB, inside the case. This makes it sound less hollow. I added a little bit more foam in the case to make it less hollow, but it was a welcome surprise to see some foam there already!
5- After lubing the switches and the stabilisers, my keyboard is “thoccy” (as enthusiasts like to say). Very smooth and satisfying, no scratchy pingy sounds although it sounded good before anyway.

10/10

Best keyboard I have ever tested and owned for several key reasons:
– Competively priced for high-end;
– Perfect layout and configuration;
– Excellent PBT keycaps as standard;
– USB-C connection in central location;
– Smooth Gateron switches (mine brown);
– Hotswappable switches (if you need it);
– Discreet frame and unbranded outer bezel;
– Reassuring weight and perfectly stable base;
– Superb backlighting features and customisation;
– Warm, even backlighting over the entire keyboard.
O-rings further improve the weight and feel of the keys.
Do not hesitate, just buy this keyboard. You will not regret it.
