6063 Aluminum Case with Mirror PVD Back Piece

The Tide 65 is housed in a 6063 aluminum case, available with electrophoretic (Blue) or anodized (Black/Purple/Pink) finishes. These finishes provide resistance to daily wear and tear and improve durability for long-term use. Additionally, a Mirror PVD back piece featuring the EPOMAKER logo enhances aesthetics in a subtle yet meaningful way. Although it's positioned on the back of the keyboard and not visible while typing, we believe every detail matters. The keyboards also feature double-shot side-print OEM profile keycaps with shine-through legends for a distinctive appearance.

FR4 Plate and Comprehensive Foam Kit

The use of an FR4 plateβ€”a high-density fiber material that strikes a balance between the rigidity of an aluminum plate and the flexibility of a PC plateβ€”ensures a solid yet less harsh typing experience. This material choice provides a balanced typing experience. To further refine the acoustic performance, we incorporate five layers of sound-dampening materials: Poron pcb-plate foam, IXPE switch foam, PET noise cancellation pad, Poron case foam, and PET insulation pad. These layers work together to enhance the sound, reduce vibration and rattle, and eliminate metal pinging.

EPOMAKER TIDE65 - Averith

My time and experience with the Tide65 has been nothing short of excellent! The weight of the board if hefty and I really like it because the keyboard does NOT budge on my desk. The beautiful mirror finish of the plate on the back of the board is absolutely gorgeous - as is the board itself! The black with gold accented trim gives it a very luxurious and premium look. The typing sound and feel is fantastic. It’s my first clacky keyboard and it sounds like I’m building legos!! It sounds amazing to type on! The media **** is very underrated and very useful for on the fly volume changes or muting! The RGB works well and customizable. I’ve really enjoyed my experience with the Tide65 and I use it almost every day! The build quality, the sound, the typing experience, all very great! EPOMAKER knocked it out of the park with it!! Looking forward to more from them!

Its so close to being good

Aesthetically this board is amazing, the colors are great and stand out extremely well. It also sounds and feels great to type on. But the switches man.. They are the worst switches I have ever used. They are all almost non-functional straight out of the box. There is constant chattering issues (1 input sends multiple inputs) from almost every single switch, and this seems to be a very common issue. This brings what would be an easy 5 star keyboard to barely a 2 star just for the looks and other stuff that it offers. I switched the stock Lemon switches out for Gateron GPro 3.0 White switches and it seems to not have anymore chattering issues.

It is only the stock switches that make this keyboard suck, everything else is 10/10 for its price.

Nice design, bad functional side

The haptic is great, the design as well.
However, in wireless mode the battery hardly lasts more than 3 days, and at least in Linux I suffer from scattering (some letters press themselves twice).

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoy the haptic feedback and design. We apologize for the battery life and scattering issues on Linux. Please reach out to our customer support with specific details so we can assist you further. And we're pleased to inform you that our product comes with a 15-Day Return Policy, allowing for no-reason free returns and exchanges. Additionally, we offer a 30-day free replacement or refund policy, along with a 12-month warranty for keyboards and DIY kits. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thanks again for your support and feedback. We really appreciate it.

Wish you a wonderful day!

Kind Regards,

Nice keyboard but...

It is a good keyboard, good construction and materials, and aesthetically it is very nice.
But I have had problems with the keyboard, first, it detects several keys several times, when I only pressed them once
And second, when I disconnect and connect the keyboard it takes minutes to detect it again, also, every time I turn on my computer, I have to go through the "Wireless" mode (Win + P) and return to the "Wired" mode (Win + T), being that it was already in "Wired" mode from the beginning.
Edit: I solved the problem of duplicate input by changing the switches
