I got this all-aluminum board very cheap, like under thirty bucks. It had some issues, but I’ve fixed most of them. Foremost was that Epomaker was hiding keys from me, and THAT WILL NOT STAND, lol. The PCB supports split-space, but the plate doesn’t. My laser helped me fix that. It also had a garbage knob that doesn’t go above the keys and had no knurling or texture to use it from the side. Fixed that. I also rarely use boards wireless, and then only because something temporary has made it convenient, so out with the battery and in with some steel wheel weights to replace the mass of the battery and then some. It also came with “Yet Another Light Linear” and for someone who types how I do, a light linear is more of a proximity detector than a keyboard switch, so I traded out the 40g-ish springs for 80g ones, making it equivalent to the heavier side of various companies’ black switches. Finally, I traded out the gamer-font front-shine caps for some simple white-on-black. All in all, I am liking this board now, where immediately upon purchase I wondered if I should send it back despite the price.
