Epomaker Split 65

***NOTE*** Epomaker sent me the Split65 for the purposes of review.
I asked for Epomaker to send me the Split 65 because I was looking for a low cost alternative to the QK Duo. This looked a little better in my eyes because you could "reassemble" it back into a 65% keyboard so even if you do do not split it every day you can still take advantage of it.

Construction: The Steel bottom gives the keyboard a little weight which can be a good thing. The RGB is nice and bright, but more on that later. The top is ABS plastic, but that's mostly not a problem. The silver plastic around the switches on the back make it look a little cheap. But it does feature a dingle hideaway for being on the go.

Design: Well this is a matter of taste, but the milky plastic around the top, when paired with a milky switch, like the HMX CHU or the Gateron Milky Yellow makes the whole thing glow and it looks really nice, especially when separate. The fact that the two halves have magnets is great and they stay together pretty well. Less good is the fact that the two halves do not talk wirelessly, which would've been a big plus in my book. That being said, the left half can work independent of the right half, if you just wanted to use it as, lets say, a macropad.

Switches: The switches that come on it are their Flamingo which are okay switches, but like I said, using a Milky switch is really where this board shines, literally.

Keycaps: The keycaps are good, they're a nice Dye Sub PBT and won't shine as easy as some others, but I replaced mine with GMK Redline and it looks and sounds amazing.

Wireless: The BT and 2.4GHz work well in day to day scenarios that I was putting it through, but again, I would've apprciated it better if the two halves could talk wirelessly.

Modability: None really, switches and keycaps, but that's about it. You would have to remove the stick on rubber feet to get at the screws that hold it together and when you do they never quite stick right again. This is super lame and one of it's biggest failings.

Comparison: There's not a lot in this niche market of re-assembling Split 65%, with the only one I know of in production being the NOCFree. This is better than that, unless you're really looking for something that tents. That does and this does not, but it does not have an angle, so there's the trade off. The NOCFree friction fits together where this has magnets, which work way better.

Overall: Overall if you're looking to dip your toe in the split space, but you don't want to fully commit, this is wonderful. If you're looking for a nice split that you can re-assemble when your friend/family need to use your keyboard, this is great for that. at 120 dollars fully built it's a great cost in the space as well. Splits can be expensive once you're all in and this one just isn't. It's programable in VIA (with a JSON file, but still) so that is an added plus.

If you’re into mechanical keyboards, the Epomaker Split65 might already be on your radar. With its split layout, solid build, and versatile features, this keyboard delivers both style and function.

Here’s my full review of the Epomaker Split65 — and why I’m giving it a solid 10/10.

Design & Aesthetics
The Split65 looks stunning. Its clean, modern design makes it instantly appealing. Everyone who sees it wants to try it. It’s the kind of keyboard that elevates your entire desk setup.

Build Quality
The top case is made from quality plastic, and the bottom is aluminum, which adds weight and durability. The two halves connect using vibra magnets, making it easy to snap together or separate.

It feels solid and customizable, perfect for different desk setups.

Keycaps and Switches
It comes with dye-sublimated keycaps that are smooth and long-lasting. You can choose between:

Epomaker Wisteria Linear Switches – quiet and smooth

Epomaker Flamingo Switches – tactile and satisfying

Both options feel premium and responsive.

Layout and Comfort
The 65% layout is compact but fully functional. Since it’s split, you can position each half however you like, making it more ergonomic.

For gamers, using just one side is possible and useful. It frees up desk space and feels more natural. Typing and gaming both feel comfortable and efficient.

Connectivity
The Split65 supports tri-mode connectivity:

Bluetooth

2.4GHz wireless

Wired (USB-C)

Switching between devices is easy, and it works with PCs, tablets, and more.

Final Verdict
The Epomaker Split65 is one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used. It looks amazing, feels premium, and offers flexibility with split and tri-mode features.
