This is honestly a great keyboard. Feels and sounds great out of the box. 87% form factor is also on sale too LINK. This keyboard only came down to $160 during Amazon Prime Day sales and you'd be hard pressed to find it cheaper than $220 on Aliexpress.

    any idea which models are tactile (not too clicky)

    • Daemonic on 31/07/2024 - 15:10

      Epomaker are usually pretty good with their specs, Linear or Tactile should be noted along with Clicky but they're far less common.

      I've got the Epomaker x Feker Galaxy80 which is Linear Feker switches, sounds like mahjong tiles and I love it lol

    • Stinger au on 31/07/2024 - 15:22

      Can try any with the brown switches. They sell a TH80 with browns which I am using at the moment. Its currently on sale for $82.

      • Slurped on 31/07/2024 - 15:31
        +1

        Only difference worth noting is that the model linked has a aluminum frame whereas the TH80 is plastic. I actually can't figure out what switches the linked V75 comes with ?

        • Stinger au on 31/07/2024 - 15:34

          It says Matte in the post, but yeah I did find it odd that it didnt mention the keyswitch details in the amazon listing. I ordered the 87% and it does state Matte in that listing.

          • Slurped on 31/07/2024 - 15:36

            @Stinger au: Ohh right I completely missed that! I'm temped to order one after watching some reviews

          • Brakus on 31/07/2024 - 15:37

            @Stinger au: Damn. I thought matte is a color/texture

        • bleemo on 31/07/2024 - 15:47

          Yeh it's CIDOO's own switch and that's what they've called it for some reason. It's a nice switch though if you like linears.

          • Brakus on 31/07/2024 - 16:05

            @bleemo: what do they call tactile?

            • bleemo on 31/07/2024 - 16:14

              @Brakus: I just did a search on CIDOOs website and it looks like they don't do a tactile. Only linears.

      • Brakus on 31/07/2024 - 15:43

        Any other recommendations for brown switch equivalent that looks retro with a knob? I can’t figure out which switch is which

        • jerdp on 31/07/2024 - 16:28

          I recently got this board ilovbee b87 during the prime day deals for $64 ish and absolutely love typing on it. Probably the best pre-built keyboard I've experienced for the price and it gives off a retro-ish feel with the colour scheme. It has a "leaf-spring gasket" which apparently is not common for this price and mostly reserved for premium boards and supports VIA. It feels grounded and feels solid with some heft to it. It has screws for easy opening and modding. Keycaps are pbt doubleshot. So much value on this board looking past the generic cringy sounding brand name.

          Here's a video of MechWhisper showcasing the typing sound. The typing you hear from the video is an actual representation of the typing sound in person - pure, marbly goodness.

      • Brakus on 31/07/2024 - 16:41

        this or keychron? I'm waiting for a Keychron sale.

        • Stinger au on 31/07/2024 - 17:22

          I've also been waiting to try one out, but Keychron seem sales seem to be few and far between.

      • Namidairo on 31/07/2024 - 16:48

        I'd be negligent not to mention that the TH80 has a bad reputation in some circles due to pcb issues and a steady stream of users filing in and asking why random keys on their board does not work.

        • Stinger au on 31/07/2024 - 17:26

          Hmm I have two and no issues so far, touch wood. I will have to say I bought another Epomaker (EP75? something model?) that I received severely bulged and was returned through Amazon.

          • Namidairo on 31/07/2024 - 18:26

            @Stinger au: Lucky you purchased via Amazon then, given they've got a bit of a bad reputation in regards to customer service as well?

            Along with being banned from Reddit for astro-turfing and starting a legal snafu with another company because they got beat to market on a board design they both licensed.

            It's… not a great look. (They also appear to be in a bit of a fight with whomever writes their QMK firmware for boards too, given they're blocked from submitting more keyboards until they sort out getting the source code for the wireless parts contributed)

  • rumblytangara on 31/07/2024 - 16:07

    Gotta love the effort that these manufacturers put into choosing brand names.

    They certainly do tick off all the buzzwords though.

  • DannyBoy on 31/07/2024 - 16:52

    Shout out to the 90s keyboards

  • MustHoardMoney on 31/07/2024 - 17:16

    Loved the build. Loved the matte switches. Loved the caps. Unfortunately, wireless started dying on me ~3months in. Same sort of QC problem with the V21 (the numpad). It's Amazon so returns will be easy but figured I'd still let people know.

    VIA was also a bit jank.

    • bleemo on 31/07/2024 - 18:48

      Oh man, I've got the v21 and v65. Hopefully they're ok…bought off AliExpress too

    • bleemo on 31/07/2024 - 18:51

      Is this just with 2.4ghz? Are there any issues with cable or Bluetooth?

  • Dalgona456 on 31/07/2024 - 18:40

    for this prices, try Rainy75 from aliexpress.

  • iw84no1 on 31/07/2024 - 18:47

    Get the Ajazz ak820 pro from AliExpress for around $80. Nice thocc switches (Gift switches) and comes with a knob and lcd screen which can display GIFs
