This 75% Mechanical Keyboard came from EpoMaker and was priced at $69 when ordered. We got the Black Gradient colorway with Greywood V3 switches.There is alot to like about this keyboard. The sound profile is perhaps the most notable. They must have spent some time developing this, because it sounds excellent. The keys have a nice thocky sound. The sound profile does have more variation between alpha keys than normal and the spacebar could always be better. Overall though, the sound profile is well tuned. The typing volume isn't loud, but it isn't quite either.The key caps on this board are also very nice. The double shot PBT with front facing light up legend and subtle color variation going up the keyboard look clean. The volume wheel is always nice to have and it's a good wheel. The turns and presses both have a nice tactical click, it feels good to use.Connectivity via bluetooth, dongle and wired all worked as expected without issue. I used this on Windows and Lynx PCs, as well as Lynx and Android tablets without issue.The typing experience is solid, as is the gaming performance when using the dongle or cable. Software for customizing macros, lighting and mapping is available, but it’s not required.The keys are on the sensitive side with the stock settings. It's a good setting for both typing and gaming. I get some double letter presses when typing, but not an absurd amount. The response when gaming felt crisp and very responsive with good key ghosting and accurate inputs.The lighting isn’t overly bright even on it's highest setting, but it's bright enough. Using a white backlight gives good legend visibility without looking like a gaming keyboard. If you want RGB, it has a selection of multiple patterns and side lighting bars as well.The included usb A to C cable is about 5 ft long and has a ferrite core to prevent static noise. A keycap puller and a pair of spare hot swappable switches were also included.Overall I like this keyboard a lot. While it's not my favorite for typing or gaming, it is an excellent split of the two. If I could only have one keyboard for both gaming and typing, this would be a very solid choice, especially for the price.

This is an amazing 75% mechanical keyboard, perfectly compact for smaller desks. The Reaper switches offer a linear experience akin to Cherry MX Reds but with a much more satisfying clicky sound – great fun, though not suited for quiet spaces.Connectivity is versatile: use the included USB-C cable for a wired connection, or go wireless with the built-in battery via the 2.4GHz dongle (which cleverly stores in the keyboard) or Bluetooth. Bluetooth supports up to three devices with easy switching.It also boasts built-in lighting effects, adjustable for color and brightness via key combos. For maximum battery life, however, you'll want to keep the lights off.A truly great keyboard! If the price is right, it's a highly recommended buy.

The EPOMAKER EA75 75% RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard is really well made from a sturdy plastic. The base is good and solid but not that heavy so it's ideal for taking in a backpack.The 75% form factor can take some getting used to but this model does have a full row of function keys which makes it easy to operate. I have never used Graywood switches before but they feel nice and are very responsive without any rollover issues. The switches take standard Cherry style keycaps, the ones includes feel good but they are not made for backlighting, so the LED only shows around the edges. I have a few Epomaker keyboards and I like the brand, but I was a little disappointed that this one needs it's own special driver software, the software from my other keyboards did not work with this one. Compared to other Epomaker compact keyboard this one has it's own set of key combinations to access the keys that are not included e.g. the print screen key; it would be easier if all of the Epomaker keyboards used the same or similar combinations to make it easier to change models without forgetting how to access these special keys. I really like the dial for controlling volume, it doubles as a control for the LED lights if you prefer that. The base has a choice of 2 different heights for the feet which is super handy. The sound of this keyboard is really great, it's not that loud so it won't annoy your co-workers but it has a nice old school thocky sound that I really like. Being able to replace the keycaps and switches without any special tools is a handy feature for people who like to change things up.Overall this is a great keyboard and a price that makes it a good value entry point into the mechanical keyboard hobby.

The keyboard looks very attractive, the light blue color with PBT keycaps feels smooth, not easy to get oily, and the overall workmanship is solid. Supports 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.0 and wired three-mode connection, and the connection switching is fast, suitable for multi-device users.The gray wood V3 switch has crisp feedback, typing or gaming is very smooth, and the cream gasket structure also provides a certain sense of cushioning, and the tapping is not stiff. The RGB backlight is rich, the knob operation is also very convenient, and adjusting the volume or lighting effect is intuitive and practical.However, although the hot-swap design is convenient, the compatibility is slightly limited, and some third-party shafts are slightly tight when plugged in and out. The bottom of the keyboard is slightly light, and the inclination angle is also flat. It may be more comfortable to use with a palm rest for a long time.Overall, it is a wireless mechanical keyboard with high appearance, multi-function and good feel, suitable for daily office + light gaming. If some details can be optimized, it will be more perfect.

This review is from the perspective of a home office user, not a gamer. In the past I have always purchased moderately priced keyboards. Not the cheapest, but in the 40-60 dollar range. They were always full-size with numeric keypad. They were functional but I always wondered what made premium keyboards worth the extra money. Having a small, crowded desk and never using the numeric keypad I determined my next keyboard would omit the numeric keypad, what they call a 75% keyboard. When I saw this unit from EPOMAKER I decided to finally free up desk space and, at the same time, treat myself to a more upscale keyboard, ordering the Greywood V3 Switch model. I now understand the difference between budget and premium keyboards.The key action is buttery smooth making the keyboard feel like a natural extension of your hand. The fingers seem to just float over the keyboard allowing you to focus on subject matter instead of being distracted by clumsy, clunky keys. Set to office mode the rotary knob allows easy volume adjustment when watching videos. I especially appreciate the option of connecting to the computer through USB direct wire, wireless dongle, or Bluetooth. The colorful LED lighting modes are cute and may appeal to gamers but I find the lights to be a distraction so I have turned them off.While promoted as a gaming keyboard, anyone who wants a better quality general purpose keyboard can't go wrong chosing this keyboard. It's not just for gamers.
