EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75 Aluminum Alloy Wired Gaming Keyboard Barebones Kit, 75% Gasket-Mounted RGB Creamy Keyboard, Hot-swap, with Mode-Switching Knob, for Win/Mac (Light Blue)

The media could not be loaded. Size is perfect, it’s heavy and functions flawlessly. I have had at least 10 keyboards searching for my excalibur, I finally built it. I put Durock T1 Sunflower switches in and wow I have never felt a combo this good. When bottoming out it feels great and has the perfect sound. I cannot believe how good this board sounds and feels, when bottoming out it has just the right amount of flex. I type hard and having the cushion feels dreamy. The thock when paired with Durock T1 switches is unmatched. My videos just wasn’t capturing how good it sounds in person. Don’t hesitate to buy and build on this board, for the price it’s a great value. I have used $50-$250 keyboards and I build this for $130 and it blows everything I have ever used outa the water. Looks beautiful and is built like a tank. The LED’s are bright as heck but my sunflower switches block most all the light and I don’t have shine through keycaps so I can’t flex the south facing LEDs but if that’s a worry for you they are great. I just blocked the lights as I bought this board when I saw it on sale and had Durock Sunflowers already on order for another build. I will never use another board ever again as this is perfection.

I have looked for an affordable barebones board and this was so good I bought 2.The quality is great and the powder blue coating is very nice. Feels sturdy and the gasket mounting is a little more stiff than some of the other models which I do love. And it’s very hefty so no worries on sliding in the desk. My tip is use switches with actuation forces between 40g and 60g. The sound profile is also very good.With the right switches the sound is very good and the knob has a nice click when you turn it. The knob only has a red LED but it’s not something I would expect to be RGB.It’s wired only, I don’t see this as a negative since a board this heavy really won’t be transported anywhere.The LEDs face south which is great, and they are pretty bright but could be brighter. If you have switches with a light diffuser then you’ll be set for any backlit keycaps.If you’re on the fence about your first barebones board, you will not be disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. Amazing quality. It feels so heavy and nice. I bought this because I wanted to put together my own keyboard but I'm a newb so didn't really want to build one from scratch. Perfect DIY board for beginners. I got Sea Salt Silent Switches and the Epomaker green gradient SereniTea keys and everything came out beautifully and perfectly functional and it was my first time! If feels and sounds amazing to type on. I love the deep, quiet, and damp sound it has. I left the two switches that it came with for the extra clicky sound. It was so fun to put together. Although, I do wish there was a 9key. Overall, fantastic purchase.

THIS IS FANTASTIC. MAGNIFICENT!It is so silky and smooth to type on, and by FAR the best experience I've had so far with any MECHs. It sounds sooooo gooood! I paired it with Gateron silent browns and ha, I am honestly blown away. I am not a big spender and will cover my MechK history down below. By no means am I an enthusiast, but this is starting to make me feel like I am headed in that direction. It is satisfying enough to taper my cravings for going to the next step.One thing to consider with these 75% (also some 96%)keyboards is the smaller size of the right side [Alt FN Cntrl Shift] keys. A good chunk of KEYCAP sets do not include those sizes, like Razer and HyperX pudding for example. Def look into that and make sure you account for it. I do not like using the wrong caps just to fill the space. I had to mix a Razer cap set with another brand, but in the end the result is actually better than using all of the same color. I just happened to already have a cap set with those sizes, luckily. Had that not been the case, I likely would've bought a TKL to save money on caps.Yes, there is bend (depression) if you press the keys down really hard due to the soft insulating materials, but that has no actual effect (at least for me) when typing or gaming with it. I am not a heavy handed person and while this was initially a concern (especially when reading some of the early reviews and seeing the photos), it became very apparent that this was by no means a deal breaker. You have to really press on it to notice it. Honestly, it might be a common trait for such keyboards among this price bracket, but I can't say for sure. I was looking at another barebones keyboard from a certain well known manufacturer, but realized that this might be a smarter (and cheaper!) purchase after reading some of the reviews for that maker. (you might know who that is if you take a STAB at it).This was a BIG step up in terms if quality compared to what I am used to.... I love using this keyboard SO MUCH.Keyboard was in MAC (?) mode out of the box. You have to hit FN + W to switch it to windows mode. Otherwise, alt keys will trigger windows start bar and certain, if not all windows functions (like CNTRL ALT DELETE) will not work.The knob feels very nice and clicky, it has good feel and feedback. The red button on the knob is slightly wobbly, but functions and feels pretty good.If you install the software, the knob goes from controlling RGB and brightness, to automatically functioning as a volume knob. (button click mutes sound)I originally purchased a cheapo (because of price) chinese mech keyboard with generic blue switches. That keyboard was very clicky, but also quite pingy (metallic ring when pressing keys). Fair enogh, tho. It was 20 something doll hairs and by a generic brand I found on ebay. Literally the cheapest I could find to get introduced into the mech keyboard world.Second time around I went with a razer Blackwidow TKL (orange switches, brown for other brands). It was OK, but still a little loud due to its lack of insulation. It quickly began to double or triple type certain keys. Lame!I then bought a DROP ENTR with the yellow linear (slightly heavier reds) switches. It was pretty good and I wanted to try out a linear switch. The reds I've tried before were too sensitive, so the yellows made up for that somewhat. PRETTY OK overall.Next up was the RK96 (my first hot swappable board) with their in-house (generic*) browns. Better insulation and sound compared to the Razer BW TKL with equivalent switches. It was good enough but didn't quite feel very good. I did not want to try other switches with it because I was not extremely fond of it. I liked it, but still felt there was room for improvement and sort of started wishing for a metal frame + insulation. The drop ENTR has a metal frame and I really loved the weight and feel of that keyboard.Lastly, I found this and its pretty darn dang great overall. Would be better if it didn't bend like it does, but it still doesn't seem to affect anything.I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.
