The Epomaker x Aula f65 Pro is a decent budget keyboard on paper, but I am not sure if it is worth the gamble.

  • USB-C to USB-A Cable
  • Key/Switch Puller
  • 2 Additional Switches
  • User Manual

Features

The Epomaker x Aula Mechanical keyboard is a 65% keyboard with unique flare. It comes in Black Contour and Gradient Gray, and both truly pop with their RBG lighting effect. I was sent the black, and the little wave design looks a lot cooler in person.

The F65 features 65 hotswappable keys and a dial for volume and media controls. 65% can handle most workloads, but there are preprogrammed short cuts for some added utility. The 4000mAh gives users full advantage of the lightning-fast wireless connections. With 1000 HZ polling, the keyboard promises a competitive edge against other keyboards in the price range.

Review

The F65 Pro is a very cool looking keyboard out of the box. The sleek and unique design will make it stand out on any desktop, and the RBG effects will help it pop. The keyboard is a great size for those who care about desktop space, and light for those who need something that travels. While the keyboard is well manufactured, it does feel and sound like a cheep plastic keyboard. The board also has a good amount of flex. Not enough to worry about, but I wouldn’t throw this around in a bag without at least a bit of protection.

As far as sounds go, this thing is loud. You are either going to love the sound, or hate how cheap and loud it is. I was not a fan and recommend you listen to the sound test before making your decision. I will say the typing experience is a lot more pleasant than I expected. The keys were soft to the touch and I never felt pain or fatigue from any of my sessions. It is a surprisingly comfortable keyboard with a decent typing angle.

The keyboard also has a solid battery life. I was getting about 8 hours with the RGB effect on, which is more than enough for most work flows. As for the performance, I think mine came defective. Pressing the space bar would randomly register the imputs twice. At random intervals, I was getting two spaces and it made typing any thing longer than a sentence annoying. Switching out the switch seems to have fixed the issue for now. Replacing the switch was easy enough with the included replacement and tool, but I shouldn’t have to do so when the keyboard is brand new.

The keyboard is not bad for the price point. I’ve definitely tried worse, but the fact that it came defective makes it a gamble. I can’t recommend it because for the hassle of replacing the defect, you can pick up a better keyboard. This seems like there were corners cut to make a cool looking keyboard at a budget, and I can’t sacrifice aesthetics for performance.

If you want to take the gamble, you can pick up the Epomaker x Aula F65 Pro from Amazon, or the official Mechlands store.

Ahoi... ich habe hier noch ein paar Keychron Gateron Silent Red Switches liegen.

Da sie 3 Pin sind, sind sie für jede mechanische Hot-Swap Tastatur geeignet und sie haben eine "Operating Force" von 45gf +- 15gf. (Keine Ahnung wie ich das sonst nennen soll... will sagen: sie lösen ziemlich schnell aus)

Bei mir waren sie nur knapp eine Woche im Einsatz, da ich mit den linearen Switches leider nicht so ganz warm geworden bin.
Seit dem liegen sie fein verpackt in der Schublade und suchen nun ein neues Zuhause.

Ich habe
80 Stück davon und würde sie gerne für 36€ inkl. versichterten DHL Versand verkaufen wollen.
Ein wenig Handeln ginge zur Not auch noch ;)

Also... wie immer wenn es heißt:

Someone built a Split-Style Mechanical Keyboard, with a 3D printer and $25.

It's pretty impressive, the article linked above contains a brief breakdown of the parts list, with prices, and a link to the original YouTube video.

Review

The Loop 65 is a fantastic upgrade to any setup. If you’re looking for a good mechanical keyboard that looks good, it doesn’t get better. This keyboard is so pretty. I love the ombre color scheme of the keys, and the split colored frame makes it pop. The aluminum frame is clean and well machined. 65 keys is more than enough for most workflows, but it can remapped with KIA for some added functionality. I didn’t reprogram the keyboard because it comes preprogrammed with solid set of functions.

Performance wise, the keyboard was great. I didn’t notice any latency, ghosting or any defects. It was very easy to set up to multiple devices, and incredibly easy to switch between them. I took full advantage of the fact I can connect wireslessly with up to four devices. The battery is small, but I was able to get about 8 hours of continuous use with the RGB on. This is more than enough for most use cases, but you can get more if you turn everything off. The RGB is so pretty, you aren’t going to want to.

Most importantly, this is the best feeling keyboard I’ve had the pleasure using. They keys are soft and feel good to the touch. The switches are responsive and offer the perfect amount of resistance to avoid fatigue. The layout is very comfortable, with the perfect tying angle to avoid any fatigue. The Loop may not be explicitly ergonomic, but it is the most comfortable experience at its price point.

If you’re looking for a new keyboard, it really doesn’t get much better than the KiiBoom Loop 65. You can pick it up on the official KiiBoom shop, or through Amazon using my Affiliate link if you want to help me out.

I recently (a few weeks ago) finished putting the latest version of my Dactyl Lynx #keyboard together, using my Snowshoe MX single-switch PCBs, and I'm incredibly happy with the results!

New release from Signature Plastics: SA Motorsport Selectric. Really like this colorway. There’s a reason this has always been my favorite keycap manufacturer. Currently out of my price range but damn. spkeyboards.com/products/sa-mo

…and assembly is complete. The original looks like it would have been deliciously clicky so I’ve chosen suitable keyswitches. However they’re only 3-pin so really need a plate to hold them properly in place.

The keycaps are standard modern layout so don’t have the correct legends. But they do look good enough to eat.

I still need to source correct bulbs for the lamp holders next to the ‘system’ keys on the right hand side.

Top view of the keyboard. The main keys are a delicate creamy yellow. Special keys are a rich chocolateybrown with light minty green legends. Space bar and system keys are the same shade of mint.

Features

If you are looking for a budget friendly ergonomic keyboard, then the Split 65 might be for you. This beautifully designed 65% keyboard 68 keys and a knob for volume controls. Each key and switch can be easily swapped with the included tool, and each has a soft south facing RGB for a little added flare. The split design and height make it easy to for users to find the most comfortable typing angle. There is also a magnet to keep the two halves together for a cleaner layout when you’re done.

Review

I was a little disappointed by the Split 65’s design of because the keyboard looked a little too simple. I love the color scheme and appreciate the simple clean design, but it didn’t impress me like other Epomaker keyboards have. With time, the opinion did change, especially when I got to enjoy the benefits of a split keyboard.

I have a repetitive stress injury in both hands that require specific ergonomics. The wrong keyboard will cause so much pain that I can’t use my hands. Split keyboards have the solution to my problem, and Epomaker really nails it with the Split 65. My injury never triggered once, and I use my keyboard for an unhealthy amount of time. The amount of slack the connecting wire was more than enough to fit my frame, and the keys are soft to the touch. Most importantly, the keyboard has such a soothing typing sound that it is going to be difficult to go back to a normal keyboard.

As far as performance goes, I didn’t notice any latency or ghosting throughout my workflow or gaming. I do think the battery is a little small, but I guess it has to. I was getting about 6 hours per charge which is more than enough, but I was getting used to one less wire on my desk. The battery would last a lot longer if I turned off the RGB, but it looks so pretty, I didn’t have it in me.

Overall, if you are looking to upgrade your set up or looking for something ergonomic to relieve some of that hand strain, do yourself a favor and get a Split 65. It is a fantastic option for the price, and you can always change the key caps to fit your style.

You can pick up the Split 65 keyboard on the official Epomaker site, or on Amazon through my affiliate link.

I thought I'd try out #GithubCodespaces with the goal of compiling #QMK following scottokeebs.com/blogs/guides/c #MechanicalKeyboard

Sadly ran into "Error: Network Error" which is vague and not mentioned on docs.github.com/en/codespaces/ - neither VPN back to UK, nor personal hotspot via SoftBank KDDI helped

The #Datapoint2200 keyboard PCBs have arrived and they look fantastic. Somehow larger than I expected, and very imposing.
