I am a big fan of the 75% format, I'm even a fan of having a screen and **** on my keyboard. I've purchased multiple keyboards from Epomaker and so when I saw this model I thought to give it a shot.
I regret my purchase.
Generally I don't write reviews, but the issues here are so far reaching I need to share. Shipment alone, if you don't like in China, expect a long wait (for me it was a week an a half). They have no other stock outside China.
The keyboard itself, is plastic, all plastic. I prefer plastic simply for the weight and frankly prefer the feel and sound, but this is flimsy feeling and hollow. The keycaps that came with this (I purchased the white model with the flamingo switches) are very cheap feeling as well.
The flamingo switches, which I like and have used in the past, do not help the feeling and sound typing on this and no amount of personal modding (used a doubleshot PBT cherry profile set and different switches) makes typing on this feel better. Hollow, empty and underwhelming is the sound profile no matter what you use; liner, tactile, clacky, none of it matters.
The Screen: the touch screen is a nice feature, I am a big fan of screens on boards as it helps organize functions and potentially keybinds on the fly. Having direct support for things like music on the board is where I want to see more boards go.
This screen works, the touch screen responds and I haven't had much of a problem with it. But the nature of how flimsy this board feels I have little hope this touchscreen will last. The plugin display, I just do not like. It's more gimmick than functionality. I would have preferred they simply included a rotary **** and had that be a secondary option for the touch screen (or just not included a touchscreen, but kept the size).
My go to board has been the Ajazz ak820 pro for the last year and my hopes with this model was to find something akin to that board, but the rt80 is not it. The plastic frame is flimsy, the sound profile is hollow and while visually it looks impressive, that's about as much and as far this board gets.
