Hey there,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Epomaker or Feker mechanical keyboards? I'm looking at getting a 75%, hotswap with knob that's around the $100 mark I'm tossing up between these models:

  • Epomaker TH80 Kit - Barebones kit, that's fine as I'm using my own switches/keycaps.

  • Feker IK75 - Barebones kit variant as well, not sure if this or the TH80.

Some on Reddit have mentioned poor customer support and some issues with the wireless modes on the TH80. The Feker board I'm not too fond of the transparent black colour, or the fact that they're north facing switches.

If not either of these boards, any similarly specced keyboards? Was looking at a Keychron V1, but it's practically sold out everywhere in Australia :( Thanks in advance.

    "Was looking at a Keychron V1, but it's practically sold out everywhere in Australia"

    Pretty sure I saw it available on Amazon AU shipping from Amazon US.

    Search "Keychron" on Amazon AU, sort by newest and go through the results pretty sure I saw it there.

      Lots of Q1s and C1s, I did find a V1 listing but it's $162 for the barebones knob. If I bought it off Keychron's AU website it'll be ~$40 cheaper (if it was in stock).

        That Amazon price should include shipping.
        I am looking at Keychron AU V1 page but it doesn't seem to be showing the correct prices, whether I select Fully assembled or Bare bone it shows $129. Also I assume there are extra shipping costs because nowhere can I see where it says "Free shipping". Also it says "July 20th shipping fees will be decreased by $10 and product prices will increase by $10" which I assume means shipping is extra.

        There is a "Get 10% off" link at the bottom of the page though.

    I've bought and returned the Feker IK75.I put in the PC plate instead of the metal one and liked the feel and sound of it with Gateron Yellows but when I swapped out switches a second time, one of the pads pulled free from the board. Couldn't be bothered fixing it up so returned it.

    I liked it so much I'm consider buying it again and hoping my first one was just a random dud.

    Haven't had a chance to use the Epomaker TH80 so nothing to say there.
