Definitely a Top Choice for less!
This keyboard is, without a doubt, a perfect choice for anybody starting or picking up a new 'board for their setup!I didn't browse enough EPOMAKER brand keyboards before this one because the Shadow-X alone stuck out in the listings like seeing that classroom crush at school every time, except I didn't make a move until I saw the sale listing go down to little less than $40. Jokes aside, this model was always on my mind, even after owning at least 5 different 'boards at this point, but now I wish I went with this one before the picking up the others.It's thocky, clean, and comes with nice utilities to compliment all your desktop leisure and enjoyment. Gaming much? The Flamingo switches (selected in the drop-down menu) are smooth, light, and responsive for both casual and competitive gaming. Typing and internet browsing? Not only is it sporting itself off like a fine luxury vehicle in the form of a keyboard, the LED display and wireless nob, that provides a connection between 3 different devices via Bluetooth AND the 2.4 wireless dongle, adds power to play in all private activities while browsing the web. The display screen shows battery life, time of day, weather, and whether you are connected via Bluetooth, Dongle, or Wired.Also, console friendly for game chat, swapping to keyboard (if the game allows alternating controllers like Fortnite), and quick browsing the game store online or various apps.It's very useful without any hassle! It comes with features I didn't think I needed or wanted in the first place, but it's definitely a highlight. Overall quality is impressive. Some may complain about the plastic body, but it's not a real issue in this case since the switches, gasket, and foam create a pleasing poppy-like thock noise to your typing. In the end, I highly recommend this keyboard; it's constantly on sale throughout the year, you don't need much customizing or spending compared to top brand models, and it already makes desktop life easier.Don't skip this if it's definitely on sale, because it is worth the price and called a steal when it is. Thanks for reading!

Absolutely ridiculous value on sale
Picked up this bad boy with the wisteria switches for $43. I can't even find a barebone wireless 65% kit for that price, let alone a wireless gasket mount tkl with decent keycaps and switches and a tiny screen. It has good build quality, it sounds creamy, the (SA profile?) keycaps are solid, there's absolutely no stabilizer rattle, and it connects perfectly. The wisterias are like a slightly lighter gateron yellow -- smooth if a tiny bit wobbly, but not too bad. It comes with a braided cable, a few extra switches, several yellow accents (which I will not use but are nice to have), and a nice little combo keycap/switch puller. You can upload a gif to the tiny screen. The rgb settings can be a bit janky, but I was able to get them to do what I want.

Neat Features, So-So Battery Life
I will admit, a wireless mechanical keyboard with a small screen onboard sounds pretty cool. I'll also admit it looks pretty cool too. I enjoy the black/gray theme of this keyboard, and the rotating knob for power/wireless settings is also very nice. The Budgerigar switch is nice and I like them more than my previous tactile switch, Glorious Pandas. But I still did add in some Gateron Baby Kangaroo 2.0 switches as well. Along with some Kailh Box Jades for some of my keys. (Yep, I'm a weirdo. Tactile with Clicky? Madness, its madness!). The feel and sound of the keys is very nice and thocky. I believe this model also has gaskets and foam, which probably helps the feel and stability of typing. Compared to my previous model, this feels more solid. My previous model lacked these features which made it feel and sound very hollow.My only gripe really is the battery life. I'm sure the little screen onboard probably does take some power, but my keyboard almost never shows a 100% charge, even after charging it. It'll start at about 98% or so and drain as I use it. Entire life isn't spectacular. About a week or so of light use and I'm down to 45%. I also DO NOT use the LED lighting features, as these keycaps do not have shine-thru and I don't need any glow behind the keys tbh. So more power to be saved there. Still, I had another wireless keyboard from another company that lasted AGES on a single charge without using the LED backlighting. I'm honestly going to toss this up to the built-in screen, but its slightly concerning that my keyboard--which isn't even a month old yet--won't even show 100% charged after a fully charge. Hopefully it won't become a wired keyboard any time soon.Another small complaint is the lack of F-keys. Granted its not a huge deal, but coming from a similarly sized keyboard that did have the F keys does mess with me a little bit. I'm sure I'll adjust.Still, I like this keyboard, and it honestly is my favorite one to date.

Crazy value.
Can’t believe the quality for the price. It’s an excellent keyboard and the screen is really cool. Feels and sounds like a keyboard that would be much more expensive. Switches sound amazing. Tempted to buy another.

Great keyboard with good functionality
I use this keyboard for work. I hotswapped the keys out for some akko silent switches and this keyboard has been great. Switching between the 2.4ghz/blueooth/wired is very easy with the knob and the keyboard itself doesn't feel to heavy when I have to bring it to work in my backpack. I like having the little display even though it doesn't really serve to much of a purpose I just have a small graphic that I uploaded via the software. The software is kinda clunky and isn't the easiest to use, but the keyboard itself makes up for it. As someone who has used the nuphy and the gmmk2 I would have to say this keyboard for the price is very good. It's not as solidly built as the other two, but it functions great. Hot swappable is always a plus for keyboards and for sub 100 dollars this works great.
