EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75 Aluminum Alloy Wired Mechanical Keyboard Barebones Kit, Programmable Gasket-mounted Gaming Keyboard Kit, Hot Swappable, with Mode-Switching Knob, NKRO for Win/Mac (Light Blue)

The media could not be loaded. I already had switches and keycaps from my old custom build but needed a new board and case. This barebones kit is incredible, especially for the price. I got 30% off for some reason when i ordered it, but im not complaining thats a win. Its heavy, feels premium, the attention to detail on the sound you get is incredible, the gaskets, foam, everything. My keyboard sounds creamy, no mods needed. The stabs that come with the kit are some of the best ive ever used, ZERO rattle, perfect. The volume dial has the most satisfying clicky sound and feedback ive ever felt on a keyboard. The software does what it needs to do, plus, the keyboard has on board memory so you dont need to run the software, only when making changes. I was originally looking for a black case but the color options on amazon are limited for this kit, so i went with the grey. And im so glad i did, it looks incredible with my black and purple keycaps. The machining on this case is second to none. If i had to really try and nit pick, id say i wish the LED on the volume dial could be changed as it is only red, more colour choices on amazon (probs not epomakers fault) and im not a fan of the cable thats provided, its like, half a coiled cable, and very short, BUT the fact they give you one is amazing considering the price, and lastly im not the biggest fan of the cable placement, its like inbetween the left and centre, a lil odd placement, but honestly im pulling at strings, its perfect, get it.

This is my second hot swappable mechanical board in a few years and I'm very happy that I bought it. I had a Royal Kludge RK68 before this, which was a good board, but I missed having extra keys and thought a 75% board would be just right for me. This board is much better built than my RK68, the alloy has a very premium feel and adds lots of weight, thock is next level.I dropped on and managed to get the pale blue barebones board for £39.99 over Christmas 2024 from Amazon, new. I used the Akko Crystal Silver switches I bought for my RK68 and got a half decent keycap set from Ali Express.I game daily on it and use it to WFH for around 2 days of the week, typing a lot. I highly recommend, especially if you can get it for a lower price!

Love it, great quality was used as a base for custom clackly keyboard

Amazing quality

Great for beginners in keyboard assembling, the led is good and is 3/5pin hotswappable, good appearance, performs good.With good switches comes good noise

Really nice keyboard, great for someone who wants a prebuilt base to pick your own custom switches! Used the Leobog Hi75 switches and the flexy board makes the sound of it really nice

Good chunky barebones kit. I used the Keygeek Briny Linear Switches gotten from SerpentKeys and the sound that comes from the keyboard will sooth your brain! I also got cyberpunk double shot key caps as I wanted a cyberpunk themed board. I love it, and would happily build another.

This is a barebones kit so some keyboard switches (cherry mx style) and some keycaps (cherry mx style) are needed. There is a card in the box illustrating where all the keycaps should be placed. No disassembly of the keyboard base is required.The build quality of the unit is really quite good. It's a metal base so has a bit of weight to it. The paint finish has a slight texture to it and is really nice. To finish the "build" three small metal badges are include which can be placed where you want. These are really nice and provide a professional finish. A coiled USB cable is included which is a really nice addition as these can be costly.The design of rotary dial for me was a bit cheap looking. Its works fine and has two modes. One controls the backlighting and the other is volume control. The included manual I found to be a bit confusing to read and was a bit on the small side. The keyboard can be configured for PC/MAC/Android using key combinations and allows the keyboard to work as expected on each respective system. If you happen to miss it in the manual the "mode" button is the centre of the rotary dial.I tested the keyboard using some switches and keycaps I had and "soundwise" its very good. I think "marbly" is the term to describe it or hitting two mid-sized stones together. If you have never used a mechanical keyboard before are want to see what the fuss is about you won't be disappointed. The switches are easy to insert into the board.The LED backlight has numerous modes and settings and these are easy to changed either using the dial of keyboard shortcuts. There is additional soft available from etc manufacturer that further allows you to customise how the keyboard operates such as programming macros etc.Overall a good base unit that provides quite a lot in terms of functionality and features.
