I am admittedly reaching a bit with that cons list above but I suppose there's only so much to complain about when you have a legitimately good keyboard for the money. At the $100 asking price, the Epomaker EP75 is one of the most feature-rich peripherals on the market to where it easily merits a recommendation. The EP75 offers pretty much every expected feature these days in the form of hot-swappable switches, easily replaceable keycaps, software + hardware customization, key mapping, RGB LEDs, and so on. Add to this hybrid wireless connectivity with both Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz with a neatly stored USB dongle, long battery life courtesy the dual batteries making for a combined 10,000 mAh capacity, well-programmed pairing and sleep functions, as well as the ability to be connected to up to five devices—although working directly on a 1:1 basis—further sweetens the deal.

The design and color scheme is different from the norm in adopting a white and blue aesthetic paired with Epomaker's own ESA spherical keycap profile. There are also three switch options, albeit no clicky one, which all come pre-lubed to match the lubed stabilizers too. The 82-key, 75% form factor also makes for a more efficient and ergonomic typing solution whereas the staggered layout separating the arrow keys and the Del/Pg Dn column also helps touch typists in easily finding the individual switches. More importantly, I was pleased to see Epomaker address the software complaints with new drivers that are far easier to work with! There may not be a volume knob here but you do get extravagant side lighting to where this is a keyboard that does feel like it would have cost plenty more had it been sold by a few other brands—mainstream or boutique alike. Well done, Epomaker!
