What is the opinion of Reddit about the
EPOMAKER EP84 84-Key RGB Hotswap Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with PBT Dye-subbed Keycaps for Mac/Win/Gamers (Gateron Red Switch, Grey Black)?

no. thats a pretty bad keyboard. I would go for something like this because gaterons are smoother than razer switches, its hotswap so you can easily remove switches to lube them (or replace them with pre lubed switches like NK_ silks) so you can get that buttery feeling and its easy to replace and mod the stabilisers

Do you guys think this keyboard is legit?

Looks too good to be true, if you account for the low price and not a single mention about this model on Epomaker website.

I came into this hobby trying to find full size customs and I realized it was harder to find than I thought lol. I came across prebuilt 1800 layout and I think that suits me the best lol. (1800 is like full size but with a smaller 0 on the numpad). My main driver is now the ACR 98, not the flashiest but it works!

Something like this would be good. Comes with good pbt keycaps. With a 75% keyboard, you aren’t really losing anything except the numbpad. Personally, I prefer linear switches (like the gateron reds), although this keyboard is 5 pin hotswap so you could change out the switches in the future.

For something around $50, you could also get something like an rk68. Doesn’t have as good of stock keycaps, and I don’t think the stabilizers would be as good, but it would also be a good starting keyboard that could be modded in the future
