    This is my 4th mechanical keyboard, and my second Epomaker (first being a TH80 Pro). The form factor is perfectly balanced, the RGBs bright (though because they are south facing can peek from underneath the keycaps into your line of signt). I replaced the keycaps with Nuphy shine through Cherry profile ABS keycaps - and boy do they THOCK. Deep, marbly sounding after I just packed some car dampening foam into the case and did a tempest tape mod. Caveats: I ordered Gateron Yellows but it came with Epomaker’s own Flamingo switch - turned out to be a pleasant surprise as I actually prefer them now to the Gateron Yellows (the Flamingos have a long stem and 2 stage sprint). Note: if you want to mod it - better buy some plastic pry tools because it is nearly impossible to open the case. Get all your mods done at once.

    Enjoyed this keyboard for a good 8 months. Suddenly its acting erratically despite all buttons working. Checked firmware was up to date, reinstalled from AKKOs website despite it was reported up to date. It worked for a week but now is repeating to lock my caps button and acts like the left ctrl key is being pressed making it frustrating.

    I love this keyboard. Its pre-lubed, the stabs are nice and chonky. Its got a good weight to it and it doesnt have a hollow resonant sound. Great typing feel as well. I chose Jelly Blue switches which are tactile. I love the switches, very nice on the fingers. As far as the key caps, awesome PBT with excellent fonts. It has USB wireless (dongle), USB C plug in, and Bluetooth. Also has hotplug switches and RGB. Wooo! All the features known to man!! Also you can load the Akko software for macros, more lighting effects, and other wizbang stuff. The Battery life is at least 2 weeks with out RGB. With, maybe a week. The RGB lighting effects are quite nice, maybe not special but just fine and you can choose from an assortment of patterns, colors, and effects. Cool. Love this board, get one!

    I work remotely full time, and it’s a real first world pain swapping my wired keyboard between my work laptop, my personal desktop and my personal laptop. I was hesitant to try anything Bluetooth because many reviews on BT keyboards mention dropped or stuck key presses, which would not be good as someone who writes code for a living. However I took a chance on this. So far it has only been a day but I’m very impressed. I played video games on it using the dongle receiver and there was no delay whatsoever. I’m currently using it paired via Bluetooth to my work laptop, and also do not notice any latency. I will update the review if I begin to encounter any issues, but I’m very happy so far. The RGB backlight is great, there are lots of modes built in that you can cycle through using FN + Del. Pairing with Bluetooth was also very easy, again using FN + E,R, or T (you can pair up to 3 devices to swap between). The keys feel well made, and the pink jelly switches feel really good to press. The keyboard may be small, but most normal size keyboard functions are still here via some FN combination. I have two complaints so far. The first is that the lettering on the keys provided isn’t see through, meaning that while the keyboard is backlit, you can’t actually see the lettering on the keys in the dark. This isn’t a huge issue, just slightly inconvenient. My other complaint is the the on/off switch is either cheaply made or i received a bad quality board. The switch does not fully toggle to on. I am not confident the switch will even hold up for over a month, therefore I have submit for a replacement. If the new board has no issues with the switch I will be happy. Otherwise I will revisit this review. Edit: replacement keyboard has exact same issue. The on/off switch on the bottom is very poor quality. When turning it to on, you don’t get the same click as when turning it to off, and 75% of the time I turn it to the on position the keyboard doesn’t actually turn on. I then have to wiggle the on/off switch some for it to turn on. Makes me feel like the switch is just going to completely fail in a months time, and I won’t be able to get it to turn on at all. It’s really a shame, because this keyboard is so close to being perfect, especially in this price range.

    I love this keyboard. Its my first keyboard that wasnt full sized, stock straight from the box, basic AF. I modded it with tape, a smidge more foam in the case, and added filmed and lubed gateron milky yellow switches. It sounds awesome and works wonderfully. Some small issues to address though. The power switch is now a little wobbly since doing the tape mod. Unsure why it wont stay firmly in place. Also, the space key sounds very hollow, so I took a bit of double sided foam tape and put it in the gaps. Its much better now. I had a hard time finding solid information about whether or not the rbg is customizable. The color can be either rainbow (I think their term is flashy) or 1 color or your choosing. They have a color wheel to pick from, but because the keycaps are pink underneath, any color you choose will have a pinkish tint. Unless you swap out your keycaps, theres no pure white, etc. I did swap mine out, but I got cheap replacements that sounded awful, so I went back to the stock keycaps. Lastly, I had planned on using this keyboard in wireless mode sitting in my lap, but it has a hard time connecting that way unless its oriented in a very specific manner, which would make game play difficult. For now I keep it wired, but the cable is a bit short for my setup. Ive been looking for a replacement cable, but it seems like most of them are all the same length. All in all, I love this keyboard. Though Ive found myself missing the numbers pad a few times, Ill happily go without for the size and simplicity of the akko 3068b.

    This offers a great value for what it has. Theres something to be said for the modability for this keyboard both in the hardware and software. Hardware PROS: - Multiple ways of connectivity is great - Included ASA keycaps by AKKO is really nice - AKKO CS Jelly switches are excellent - Hotswap support for 3 or 5pin - A couple levels of step up feet Hardware CONS: - ON/OFF switch its bad. Mine has dislodged and did not work. To fix this the case needed to be opened. - Opening the case is difficult and presents a risk of breaking the frame. Its held on by clips, which if youre not careful may crack. - The case is tray mount. Some might put foam under the pcb to improve acoustics or do an o-ring mode on the tray mount. But any slight misalignment will cause the case frame or the board to bow or not close properly. - No support for screw in stabs. The plate mounted stabs seem decent but inconsistent. Two felt over lubed. - Depending on the switch you get, it will shift the hue of the RGB to the color of the switch housing. - Battery didnt seem to last long, holding only 4~6hr/charge. - A couple of my switches did not work (defective?) Software PROS: - Extensive ways to customize hotkeys and macros, offering a few Fn-layers - Saves said customization in the board itself Software CONS: - The software from Epomaker did not work for me. I contacted support and they werent able to diagnose my problem. Thankfully, the manufacturer (AKKO Gear) was able to help and provide a solution. - The software sucks in terms of user experience. - Some hotkeys cannot be reconfigured and youre limited to a few options. (VIA/QMK is generations ahead) - RGB selection is very limited to a number of preset effects with no true control (compared to other RGB software like ASUS, HyperX, etc) - Per key RGB selection is painstakingly time consuming. - No VIA/QMK support. Im not sure if too much to ask, but that would be nice. Overall, if youre just getting into mechanical keyboards, this may be a good start but youll be left wanting to find better options. This is a great board for someone who likes the look of it and just use the keyboard as is because it looks and works great out of the box. That is true until it doesnt due to inconsistencies.
