EPOMAKER Tide75 Upgraded QMK/VIA 75% Wireless Aluminum Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-Swap Creamy Gaming Keyboard with FR4 Plate, Bluetooth/2.4Ghz/USB-C, RGB Backlit, NKRO (Blue)

Amazing for the price and sounds great, plus its modable!

It's such a nice keyboard, such a creamy sound that you want to never stop typing. Plus the purple color this one I grabbed BUAH, beautiful. Incredible quality and the price is phenomenal. Totally recommended.

Good build quality, good software support, easy to swap keys and caps on, really weighty and very stable on the desk. There's two things I wish for: The volume knob is SMOOTH and it can make it hard to use. I tended to "flick" at the volume wheel on my last keyboard, like I'd use one finger and go from the side, slide my finger either up or down along the wheel to get it to turn. Does NOT work with this one, you have to pinch and turn. I've looked for an aftermarket knurled wheel and while they do exist it's hard to fine one that matches the aesthetic and it's even harder to find one that pushed on instead of using a set-screw from the side... And lastly, there's no tilt option. What you get is what you get. It is angled slightly back, it's not flat, but I wish it tilted UP a little more. I've tried some aftermarket feet but they're either too small or too large, and I haven't found a wedge that is the right dimension (mostly for full size keyboards), but I'll come up with a solution eventually.

Probably my 3rd mechanical keyboard and by far the nicest I've used. Wasn't sure I'd like the linear switches I normally like tactical but they feel and sound amazing. Might buy some baby kangaroos down the line but for now I'm satisfied

Keycaps - * * Switches - * * * Ease of use - * * RGB - * * * * Customizability - * * * * * Issues to note of: READ THE MANUAL to connect, ABS keycaps, Fragile switches The keyboard is generally great, however there are a few issues you need to know about this keyboard. Getting setup with this keyboard isn't a plug and play experience, you must read the manual and use one of the pairing methods. The keyboard keycaps aren't PBT. After a few months of usage my spacebar went shiny, a common issue of using laser-ablated ABS keycaps for a long time. The switches can sometimes break when removed from the keyboard, I'm not sure if this is an issue with these switches specifically but I would recommend watching out for epomaker switches, otherwise the switches sounds good. I can't say anything about the battery life however I expect it to last a long time because of the size of it. Overall, I would recommend this keyboard with the foresight of replacing the keycaps in the future and committing to the switches it has now or ones you plan to replace it with.

I got this keyboard on sale for $55 its got some real nice weight and the keycaps feel amazing. great font. It was so good i bought a second one for my wife, and she loves it too. I have not attempted to use the software yet and all i need works out the box. and the sound. oh the sound is perfect

Very good product

I got this on sale for $84 and nothing in the keyboard world has a price that makes sense anymore. This board looks absolutely stunning. The brass trim looks really clean especially with the black and charcoal aluminum body. It's a really heavy build but it feels unbelievably good to use. The only criticism I have is that the caps they included feel like ABS and have a bad font, but I'm considering them as free caps considering the quality of this product. The battery lasts quite a long time especially if you use the 2.4Ghz feature. The RGB isn't very bright, but that might be intentional. Not only does it save battery, it prevents the polished brass finish from reflecting. I'm coming from a TH80 Pro, and the Bluetooth connection time is about 1/5 of the time it used to take, which was a complaint I had before. The stock sound is really good. I typically use hand half-lubed tactile switches and these feel good enough to sell me on linear switches. I'd put them up there with the best of the best. I think getting different keycaps will also further improve the sound. I have some Matt3o caps I'm testing out and they sound incredible.

La tastiera Epomaker Tide 75 si distingue immediatamente per la sua robusta struttura in alluminio 6063, una lega di Alluminio-Magnesio-Silicio nota per la sua resistenza, qui impreziosita da un'elegante finitura anodizzata nera. Con un peso considerevole di circa 1.7 Kg, la Tide 75 si presenta come una tastiera solida e stabile, perfetta per l'uso fisso su scrivania, sebbene la sua compattezza possa trarre in inganno chi cerca una soluzione portatile. Sulla piastra FR4, che offre un equilibrio ideale tra rigidità e flessibilità, sono montati gli switch, mentre cinque strati assorbenti sottostanti lavorano per ridurre al minimo le vibrazioni. Il risultato è un'esperienza di digitazione piacevolissima, caratterizzata da un suono gradevole e non eccessivo, accompagnato da un feedback tattile eccellente. I keycaps a doppio strato, con profilo standard OEM, si sposano perfettamente con gli switch Zebra, che vantano una corsa lunga di 21 mm e una forza di azionamento ridotta di circa 40 gf. Questa combinazione rende la digitazione fluida e confortevole, ideale per lunghe sessioni di scrittura o gaming senza affaticamento. La connettività della Tide 75 è versatile: offre il Bluetooth, una pratica dongle USB riposta in un alloggiamento posteriore e la classica connessione via cavo, con un cavo incluso di quasi 2 metri. L'illuminazione RGB, con i suoi molteplici effetti, è posizionata sotto i tasti anziché all'interno, creando un'atmosfera raffinata e discreta, senza risultare invasiva. La Tide 75 è stata progettata pensando alla personalizzazione. Switch e keycaps possono essere facilmente sostituiti grazie all'apposito attrezzo in dotazione e Epomaker offre una vasta gamma di alternative per soddisfare ogni gusto. Anche la struttura stessa della tastiera è modificabile: con la chiave a brugola inclusa è possibile smontarla ad esempio per aggiungere o sostituire gli strati assorbenti, adattandola alle proprie preferenze. Dal punto di vista software, la Tide 75 abbraccia la filosofia open source grazie alla compatibilità con QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard), un firmware in continua evoluzione. QMK offre la possibilità di creare un firmware personalizzato o di configurare la tastiera tramite lo standard VIA, utilizzando il browser o il programma open source indicato nel manuale che apre un mondo di possibilità: dalla definizione di nuovi layout alla creazione di macro automatiche, fino all'assegnazione di nuove funzioni ai tasti. Tutte le configurazioni vengono salvate nella memoria della tastiera, mantenendosi anche allo spegnimento. Per chi non desidera addentrarsi nel mondo del software, la Tide 75 offre comunque pratiche combinazioni di tasti per accedere alle funzioni principali. A un primo sguardo, la Tide 75 potrebbe sembrare simile a molte altre tastiere meccaniche, ma è nei dettagli che si rivela la sua vera eccellenza. La qualità costruttiva impeccabile, le potenzialità software avanzate, il comfort di digitazione superiore e dettagli ricercati come la targa impressa sul retro o la manopola a pressione configurabile, la elevano a un livello decisamente superiore, il tutto offerto a un prezzo competitivo.

Vale cada céntimo de euro. Pena que no lo haga con teclado ES. Pero le he cambiado las teclas para teclado español por unas de calidad parecida. Y me ha quedado de lujo. Lo recomiendo 100%

Sa construction en aluminium robuste et son poids garantissent une parfaite stabilité sur le bureau. La prise en main est agréable, notamment pour le gaming, et le rétroéclairage RVB ajoute une touche discrètement élégante. La molette pour régler le volume est un vrai plus, et la mise en veille automatique après quelques minutes d’inactivité est pratique. Cependant, j'aurais apprécié des touches supplémentaires dédiées à des fonctions multimédias comme "pause" ou "changement de musique", ce qui manque un peu pour certaines utilisations. La recharge via USB-C est pratique, mais l'absence d’un indicateur d’autonomie peut surprendre, même si la batterie semble tenir correctement. Le point négatif majeur : ce clavier est en QWERTY, ce qui n'est pas précisé clairement dans la description. Cela peut décevoir, bien que les touches soient facilement interchangeables pour le convertir en AZERTY. En résumé, un très bon clavier au rapport qualité-prix intéressant, avec quelques ajustements nécessaires pour les utilisateurs français. Un choix judicieux pour les gamers et une utilisation quotidienne, à condition d’accepter le format QWERTY ou de le personnaliser.

Hinweis: Diese Tastatur kommt im amerikanischen QWERTY-Layout! Wer damit nicht arbeiten kann, sollte sich eine andere Tastatur suchen! Ich schrieb es ja schon häufiger - als Autor bin ich stets auf der Suche nach einer guten Tastatur. Daher griff ich bei dieser zu.. Es ist meine erste Epomaker - auch wenn ich den Anbieter zuvor nicht kannte, konnte mich die erste Tastatur doch überzeugen und so griff bei dieser geschrumpften Variante ebenfalls zu. Die Tastatur verfügt neben dem Buchstabenblock noch über die F-Tasten, einige Zusatztasten wie Home, End etc. und einen kleinen Knopf in der rechten oberen Ecke, über den man zum Beispiel die Lautstärke regeln kann. Wie man es bei einer guten, mechanischen Tastatur erwarten darf, ist diese beleuchtet. Zudem ist die Beschriftung nicht oben auf, sondern auf der Frontseite der Tasten - siehe Bild. Das ist praktisch, denn so kann man, wenn man das möchte, deutsche Layout-Aufkleber auf den Tasten befestigen. Verbunden wird die Tastatur mittels Bluetooth, Dongle oder Kabel - das funktioniert gut. Ebenso kann man sie unter Windows, Mac oder Linux nutzen. Die Kompatibilität zu Linux ist sogar sehr hoch, denn nicht nur wird sie sofort erkannt - etwa unter dem auf Ubuntu basierenden Pop-OS. Nein, die Tastatur kann mittels des Universaltools VIA konfiguriert werden. Und VIA, ein Tool für ganz verschiedene Hersteller und Tastaturen, gibt es auch für Linux. Ich habe also einfach das Deb-Paket installiert, die zur Tastatur gehörende json-Datei von der Webseite des Herstellers geladen und schon konnte ich sie konfigurieren - genau, wie es unter Windows der Fall ist! Und ja, auch für Mac gibt es VIA. Das ist natürlich eine sehr schöne Sache, denn Gaming wird dank Steam auch unter Linux immer beliebter, und mit VIA fällt diese Schranke. Der Tastenanschlag ist sehr gut, die Tasten liegen angenehm weit auseinander; es braucht nur eine kurze Umgewöhnung von vier, fünf Stunden. Zudem kann man dank Cherry-Schaltern auch andere Tastenkappen verwenden; ich habe das probiert und es klappte gut! Außerdem ist die Platine Hot-Swap-Fähig und auch das klappt. Da die Tastatur gedämpft ist, entstehen keine zu lauten Geräusche. Der Aluminiumkörper ist schwer und stabil, was ein Verrutschen verhindert. Alles in allem überzeugt mich diese Tastatur - mehr noch als jene, die ich zuvor getestet habe. Sie ist qualitativ hochwertig, kann unter drei Systemen konfiguriert werden und sieht cool aus - wobei das natürlich Geschmackssache ist! Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt - 5 von 5 Sterne.

I am thoroughly impressed with this keyboard. I have been a keyboard enthusiast for a few years now, building boards that cost up to $1000. I have to say that in the last two years, pre-built keyboards have really improved. The 2.4GHz connection has no noticeable latency, the connection quality is good. The stabs shockingly were very balanced and did not rattle - that's something that many custom builds even lack. The case is definitely thinner and hallower than most high end keyboards, but for the price, I am not complaining. If you have ever had a Tiger80 Aluminum, this keyboard is pretty much the same build quality, but with less case rattling than the Tiger 80. Honestly, this board is about 90% of any custom keyboard I've ever typed on. It would be about 95% as good, IF they provided better keycaps. As it stands, I would suggest getting a decent set of dye sub keycaps because this keyboard just sounds too high pitched and tinny. But I slapped on some thicker high profile keycaps and the sound is much improved.
