Epomaker NT68 Regular Profile Keyboard

[VSG]

Epomaker's new NT68 comes in a regular and low-profile version with many different switches, keycaps, and wired or Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity to choose from. This review examines the regular-profile version that features a "magic case" to double up as a stand with or without a laptop involved!

They can charge more for if they remove the blue switches and sell it like that.

Why would a kit cost more than one with switches? If anything, it would be the other way round with the kit costing slightly under, and not by much, compared to a pre-assembled keyboard.

Because nobody uses blue switches so they can charge extra for doing you a favor by removing those for you.

LOL these are fine switches, not my favorite but others will like it. There are plenty of other switches to choose from also.

Defending the blue switches ... I lost all the respect for you.

In case you are being serious here- these are not Cherry MX Blue switches and are a whole different style of switches which feel better and are more reliable than most tactile and clicky switches today. While not my favorite still, don't just go about dismissing a switch just because it is blue in color.

Nah man just kidding on the respect thing. Still think the blues are just terrible, can't stand the sound. it's all about the thock!

It should be noted that Epomaker has an indiegogo running where they have failed to deliver a single keyboard to any U.S. customer. They are over 2 months past delivery date on that project and have no idea when it will ship to U.S. customers. Beware if you back this project.

Based on the comments section, it appears to be US Customs holding things? That sucks for everyone involved, but not sure I can blame Epomaker for this entirely.

Fair enough. However they have been claiming customs issues for over 60 days. They have continued to give the same "7 working days" response for over 2 months. How are they going to solve this issue with this crowdfunding project? They also imply with the very prominent business address that this is a New York based company. They may have a mailing address there but it is obvious that they are a Chinese company with a P.O. box. They should be up front and tell US backers that there may be a delay when it comes time to deliver.
