Epomaker TH66 Pro 65% Hot Swappable RGB 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth 5.0/Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with MDA PBT Keycaps, Knob Control for Mac/Win (White Case, Flamingo Switch)

So this board was my next step up in the budget gang, going from a $50 board and heavily homebrewed mods to make things...sufficient compared to stock trash. It is also my 4yr work anniversary gift to myself.To get the bad out of the way first.I had ordered the flamingo switches variant but received their Budgerigar switches instead :( (see my second screenshot) . I can understand this mix up was on not on shipping but whomever packed the box. The box does read Flamingo switches but clearly I have the Budgerigar. I am not worried about this as I am getting new switches that I intended to put in this board if I wasn't happy with the Flamingo's. They do feel nice with their factory lube but its not as good as a lubricating your switches yourself. Only real issue I have aside from the poor brightness which I don't really care about, you cannot change the logo RGB from the Rainbow. I downloaded the software and it doesn't allow you to adjust the logo there either. Just have to have RGB off completely. Oh well.Now for the good :)I type a LOT. I do it for work so having a good keyboard is well, to pardon the pun, "Key". (I'm a new dad leave me alone lol)I am happy to have a functional volume knob now as it is helpful for meetings when someone is SUPER loud and then the next person is barely speaking, I can now easily remedy that ;) It's one of those click based turn knobs instead of a smooth free spinning one so I don't accidentally turn someone up to much to quick.The feel of this board is a dream for me compared to my previous board. I don't have to open the board and put in foam or anything like that cause its already there. The only thing I would have to open this board for is to work on those stabs but everyone has preferences. I was surprised by the enter and the backspace as they sound pretty dang good out of the box.The switches are pre lubed which is nice for me as a new dad I don't get that much time to commit to this hobby as I used to so this is nice to have. Doesn't feel as great as a lubricating them yourself but definitely nice if you don't have time and/or lazy.The software does allow for you to program macros which I do plan on exploring. :)This board is going to be put through the long game test. My last board has survived 3 years and counting but this upgrade is a welcome change.

When I am playing games my spacebar will get stuck or my D key after I have pressed it, which is not cool at all and it definitely isn't good when I am typing for school and it puts about 1000 letters down my pages(not even kidding).Overall the keyboard is pretty decent, but because of the key issues I will be returning it, I have seen other reviewers say this has happened to them as well. Been using it for about a day and it hasn't gotten better and it makes my gameplay very difficult. This would be a minor inconvenience if gaming wasn't my hobby, so I do spend most of my day at my computer either working or gaming.Some minor problems I have with it is the fact that the keycaps do not allow light to shine through the letters and I really enjoy having that and I didn't want to buy another keycap set. Also the EPOMAKER logo only has certain presents and it really ruins the purple vibe I wanted, so I just turned the RPG off on it. You can only set it to cycle through colors. A good thing though is the RPG is very bright and saturated considering the keys set inside the case and I have the flamingo switches. I know much can't compete with razers RBG, but it is pretty nice. (Because I have the color purple set, you can't tell it doesn't shine through, but it really doesn't at all :( )I guess you get what you get and I might have gotten my hopes up too much sadly. I really wanted a budget wireless hot swappable keyboard and it ticked all my boxes. Though if anyone is worried about the software it seems they have improved it greatly and fixed a lot of issues that I had seen in earlier reviews.Hope this helps anyone, I'm not saying every keyboard is going to have this issue, so it is still a great keyboard for the price and that is why I kept the rating at a 4, I don't think it deserves less. I just jumped the gun too fast and definitely need to do some more research.

Amazing build quality, Got the flamingos, they sound pretty great, prelubed switches and stabilizers helps a lot. The vol knob feels good, it has good weight to it. Battery aint that good, lasts about 2 weeks without heavy LED usage.

This keyboard is so worth it for the price. Easily customizable for your liking.
