EPOMAKER RT100
Looking for a fully functional and highly enjoyable keyboard? Then this retro-style keyboard is just the one for you.
It features a detachable smart monitor and a knob that can register keystrokes for multimedia control. The highly enjoyable mini display is great fun to play with, which is able to serve as a smartwatch with date and time, weather forecast, keyboard battery level, or basically anything you wish for with some settings and programming.
And if you want a change of taste, the mini tv is detachable and the port becomes a hidden home for the 2.4Hz wireless receiver.
97 Keys (ISO-UK: 98 Keys)Compact Design with A Multi-media Knob
While the mechanical keyboard is the essential star on every gamer or coder’s desktop, not everyone is fond of a full-size keyboard. The space-saving design can also offer you the same experience as a 100% keyboard does, with no compromise in its function. By default, the knob can be used for media control such as turning the volume up/down and pausing or resuming play for music and video. And as a highly customizable keyboard, the ability of the knob is endless as you can set it with the accompanying software.
Powerful Software – Macro, Backlight & Mini-TV Animation Programmable
The true spirit of Epomaker is customization, and RT100 has also adopted such a spirit to its core. The proprietary software supports creating macros, remapping keys, and changing backlight effects.
Note: the Type-C port for Mini-TV is deep. Make sure the Mini-TV is fully plugged before using the Mini-TV
Whether you wish to remap it all or rebind certain functions to other keys, it can all be done with a few clicks in the driver. What’s more, the patterns and the animations can also be customized by simply uploading the animated file you make. Needless to say, the RT100 is hardly to fail you regarding all your wishes and expectations.
Gasket Mount & Ergonomic Design
The RT100 is gasket mount that can offer soft and flexible typing experience. In order to create the typing experience that suits ergonomic rule, we have also put on a great deal of efforts
The adjustable two-stage feet covered with silicone wrapping can support the keyboard at different typing angles that suit your typing posture and protect your wrist, shoulder, and neck from damage caused by extensive typing. In addition, the keycaps are slightly lifted and designed in an MDA profile for a better angle that’s healthier for your wrists.
Hot-Swappable Kailh Socket
The core of a satisfying mechanical keyboard experience is of course the switches that respond to every click and clack with rewarding action and sound. As each switch offers a unique typing experience, a hot-swappable board that allows one to change switches freely will be of great convenience to any keyboard enthusiasts. The class-A Kailh sockets are selected also because they support 5-pin hot-swap, which will save you a lot of troubles in future modding.
Triple Modes of Connection
The RT100 support both Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHz connection for wire-free typing, while still offering a stable and reliable cable connection via the type-C port. By offering all three modes of connection, the RT100 can be used for different purposes depending on whether convenience or stability is the priority in the task you are handling. By the Bluetooth connection, the keyboard can be connected with up to three different devices at the same time. The hidden storage space for the 2.4G receiver is slightly bigger to leave room for future upgrades, and the invisible hub will help you remember where the receiver is so you will never lose it.
Compatible with Win, Mac OS and More
Retro-designed as it might be, RT100 is not an antique that could be used in only one operating system. Apart from the mainstream Windows and Mac OS, it can also be compatible with devices in iOS and Android. The simple switch among different OS is easily accessible to different devices at different settings.
Anti-ghosting
Full Anti-ghosting keys are essential for those who require a long combo for macros and need keys to register keystrokes made at the same time. With anti-ghosting or N-key rollover, the RT100 can respond to simultaneous presses from multiple keys, which is helpful in a highly exciting real-time game. It requires more effort in producing, but it is all worth it to meet our customer’s needs.
South-facing RGB
The flash and shining backlight is the perfect partner for typing with a mechanical keyboard, especially a programmable RGB setting that can dance along with your figures. In addition, the RT100 has the LEDs south-facing, in order to avoid the interference with cherry-profile keycaps that concerns many enthusiasts. With more than 16 default light patterns and the freedom to set up your own with the driver, the RT100 offers a truly glorious typing journey.

EPOMAKER RT100
Firstly, the keyboard itself is a joy to type on. The silent switches are appreciated by everyone else in the home and I do like the aesthetics of the Brown retro-ey style. Unfortunately, the mini screen was busted right out of the gate - I have not been able to upload gifs or pictures to it either. The software is also shady at best and is pretty useless. The keyboard showed signs of being used when I received it also, with markings on the usb chord and improper packaging. As it took forever to get here I just decided that I would keep it as it does not affect the functionality of the board itself.
I wasn't going to even write this review but received an email for feedback from the company so there ya go.
The keyboard fulfilled my expectations. However, it did start malfunctioning after about a week of use but after I contacted epomaker about the issue they promptly got in touch with a few questions and once they had verified that they couldn't troubleshoot it online they just sent me a new keyboard! - Said keyboard is working just great. - I'm withdrawing that one star on account of the issues (and lack of linux driver support), but the service level hold it firmly in the 4+ level.
I like the clicks, I like the clacks, it has nice lighting - but some elements leave a lot to be desired.
The driver is Not The Best, to put lightly. If left rampant, it will be a hog on your CPU from startup. It sometimes doesn't even run - today I had to re-download it, 2 months after I set up my keyboard.
It has a community aspect on it which is nifty but seems poorly programmed, as it slows down to a crawl.
Ideally, this keyboard would be way more modular and open sourced with it's software. I see no official documentation regarding this.
The battery life is not the best, I feel it should be able to last longer than 2-3 days but that's whatever, just leave it to charge over night I guess.
No problems with connecting via the (included) 2.4GHz dongle nor Bluetooth, it just works fairly well OOB.
The screen is gimmicky (and felt like I could break the connector, frankly), it's use is to effectively just be a clock and you can't modify anything on it besides the lower left corner - so like 50% of the screen all together.
And even then, you can only modify if you want a gif of your choice or a static image.
I wish the screen was way more modular.
Also, the "temp" on the screen is literally just the OUTSIDE temperature of a city of your choice. This function ceases to work if you (- like me) turn off the run-on-startup option because the driver uses up 10% of your CPU for no reason because of some boot-loop.
Also I've read something about the battery being an issue even more down the line so I'm hoping that's been... fixed with mine and future batches.
It looks nice. I got the light purple keycap set, it's been a nice sight.
