Thanks for the warning! I'll steer clear from that TH80 and wait for Corsair K70.
I have an epomaker board it’s a pain Bluetooth doesn’t work, it needs to be reflashed every time I turn my computer on tried reaching out to support and just didn’t hear back >

yeah their support is unfortunately of no help :( >

Yep >

Thanks for this heads up. I’d been eying their keyboards since I’ve seen it in a few “best of” articles but I’ll steer clear. >

no worries! i’m def gonna go for something like keychron next time when i get the money >

I currently own 3 keychrons, two of which I’ve used daily for nearly three years and not a single issue. Highly recommended. >

oh sweet that’s good to hear!! do you have any specific recommendations? >

I have the v1 with knob and I think it’s an amazing board for the price. I also have a k6 for the Bluetooth, and it’s also an awesome board. The k6 I’ve added foam and the tape mod, but the v1 is perfect stock. I’ve used both boards daily for about a year now, the k6 for a little longer and both are still perfect. V1 also has key mapping which is super nice, it allowed me to make a button just for muting/unmuting discord. >

I really like my c1. >

Epomaker is shit. I did their kickstarter for the GK68XS. They sent out a message to everyone saying that they h ad shipped them all out, but I didn't get mine. So I created a ticket with them. They said, "We have shipped out yours for a long time", and said they'd check with DHL. Five days later, I check back in with them since I hadn't heard anything, and they have no reply from DHL. They say they can ship a new one to me, but it won't be any of the options I selected. Ten days later from that, I ask for an update, and they tell me they can still only ship me one with an ugly color combination or deal with a 2-4 week production delay for the one I wanted. I select to wait. After 4 weeks go past, I check in with them, and they say, "Hello, Sorry again for the delays on the keyboard. Could you mind accept the other colored case?"
We went back and forth for almost 3 months, waiting on their production delays, and them constantly trying to push me to the cheaper uglier model. Eventually I gave up and just asked for a refund, which they weirdly did over a PayPal payment. >

that’s rough ☹️ they rlly are pushy and stubborn cause they’re so stingy, i’ve sent like 60 emails in this entire process too. glad you got a refund at least! >

Holy shit >

exactly my reaction to all of this lol >

Thanks for the heads up. Will stay clear from that brand 👍 >

I bought a cheese keyboard from them an am currently in a PayPal case battle with them!!! Screw that company dude >

NOOOO FFS. i just bought an ek68 like a few weeks ago because i really wanted something simple, prebuilt and cheap with a knob just to dip my toes into mech keyboards.  
What im hearing is, if anything goes wrong down the line, im basically screwed. >

same exact boat. been eagerly awaiting my ek68. just found this sub recently. bummer. >

For what it’s worth, I have had it for a little while and it feels fine to me. The 2.4ghz usb dongle works pretty wel, wired is obviously fine, bluetooth has some delay but that’s to be expected imo. The rgb isn’t crazy bright but it’s good with decent colour options
Physically though, it feels good to me (I got gateron pro 2 yellow switches) and it came with a few extra switches. a switch puller + key puller that didn’t feel great , also comes with An alternate colour space bar. I got the purple colourway and the key caps don’t have any print weirdness + the purple is a nice shade with the black. Also I like the knob - feels nice has those tactile little clicks for each registered movement.
So out of the box everything is all good ig, just hope nothing goes wrong? >

thats the same one i bought! haha. i don't really intend on using it wirelessly so im not to concerned with it. I'm just new to the mechanical keyboard world and was looking for sometihng hot swappable. >

Yikes. And here i thought they were one of the more reputable ones. >

If you check the sub sticky these are known issues along with their attempts to brigade the subreddit. >

Thanks for this message.
Won’t be buying from them. >

glad to spread the word 🐐 >

Really wish I would have seen this thread before I ordered a TH66 from them. Yesterday they sent an email saying that there were delays and it was going to be a two month wait.
They did offer a 15% discount on my next order. How kind. >

My gk68xs have a problem with its rgb . Idk why it wont function correctly ( i cant have mono colors , only the “if pressed then colors appear “) and the usb c port is somewhat janky after abit of use >

didn’t really know anything about them before but good to know now that i’m getting around to a second build now >

I bougnt from Epomaker and Keykron. Keychron seems cheesy, but it works and I use it for gaming. The epomaker suuuuuucks. It uses super dodgy Chinese software, the pairing is never works, and the latency is so bad I could never game with it. Just my experience. >

I’ve almost bought a few of their products. Thanks for the heads up. >

Post comes up days after I just bought an EP84, was even reassured with my purchase after seeing a positive review video from Betty at Switch and Click on the board, what a shame to hear this as I’ve been really impressed thus far with it. >

At this point buy the same model on amazon and then return it saying it's broken but send in your broken one. 
Also I had to return their Niz electrocapacitive keyboard (niz 2021 x87). The 1st time the spacebar was completely broken to where it rattled nonstop more than it should by a lot. That keyboard also randomly stopped working when playing a game. The replacement which I have now has been good except the keyboard wasnt completely level (had to bend it a little since its soft plastic and its good now) and the other day one of the switches started making a really loud slapping noise no matter what. I took the whole keyboard apart and replaced that single switch with a backup one that it came with and its fine now. but damn the quality control is definitely lacking on their boards at least the niz 2021 x87 board. Its my favorite board to type on by far but im worried another switch is gonna start sounding/feeling bad for no reason now. >

Isn’t Epomaker just a reseller of NiZ equipment? I believe NiZ themselves are a separate company. 
My friends and I have 3 NiZ keyboards between us and I generally found the build quality to be really good and consistent between my admittedly small sample size. I have the wired one because I hate wireless things but I find it’s been dead reliable, zero issues after a year and a half of ownership. >

I’m not entirely sure actually, but from what I gathered online eppomaker does actually make them. Only reason I bought my niz X87 2021 is because I tried my friends older micro 84 and fell in love with the feel and cloud like sounds. I think I might have just had bad luck but my 2nd one is a lot better despite the random switch that became very loud for no reason. Like I said it’s my favorite keyboard by far. Mine were/are both wired versions as well. >

They're separate. >

Epomaker is garbage stick with a different custom board vendor - keychron gmmk etc >

Sorry you had to go through that but thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely keep it in mind not to buy from them. >

Yikes I have the exact same board (EP84), modded it with foam and lubed the switches and was planning on giving it as a gift to a friend after I got my other customs, hopefully my pcb doesn't give in too >

Adding another company to my blacklist >

Damn I got a TH80 recently so this isn’t the greatest news. It’s been fine so far however but I guess we will see down the line… >

I also have one of these. The software is some chinese knock off that is seen as malware. So i uninstalled it. The bluetooth/wireless is dogshit i use it with cable only. The build quality is ok i guess. But i would never buy another keyboard from them. >

This doesn’t make me feel good about my pending TH80 that I was told “might ship late February” lol
