Great feel, battery life, and usability
This has been the best keyboard I’ve had so far. You can set up 3 different bluetooth devices and swap between them with the keyboard switch. The feel of the keys feels amazing and the sound is super satisfying. After charging the battery has lasted for weeks and still not dropped a bar - it does have battery saving so it powers down at times. You can also use the keyboard wired if needed. Again, best keyboard I have owned.

Solid
This classic looking keyboard invokes the US SNES colourway to create a pretty good looking pastel effect board that somehow feels very appropriate to the materials and typing feel.Setup is easy using Bluetooth and switching between devices is very easy. I was unsure about the knob at first, but thinking back to all the times I accidentally changes device on my other boards, I am pretty cool with that never happening again. The screen feels a little gimmicky, but is genuinely useful, giving really clear and easy to read info at a glance.The keycaps are really good to look and to touch. They are almost chalky which feels super premium, and each has a very solid feel to it. Clean and clear legends which allow the backlight to shine though easily completes the list for me, and leaves very little to be desired here.In use, stabilisation is good, and everything feels solid and consistent. The switches are very satisfying with good sound and feel. I like to bottom the keys out on this one just because it feels great. The spacebar in particular sounds extremely thocky, but all the keys have a great sound.Overall, no real complaints here, what you see is what you get. Personally, I prefer a bit less empty space on the top case (I guess the space here is required due to the gasket mount), and an ISO layout, but Epomaker have those options well covered and I wouldn't hesitate to try more of their boards again in the future having used this one.

Epomaker Shadow-X Keyboard
It's been a while since I've used a mechanical keyboard, but with all the hype with them over recent years, I was keen to try this out.Out of the box, it looks and feels great. It has a decent weight to it, but nothing that seems unnecessarily heavy. It feels sturdy, and the build quality and the keys look immaculate. It is an off-white/greyish colour with green/blue keys and accents. The keyboard stands are adjustable to two different heights which is appreciated also.Set up was straightforward, I followed the instructions to connect via bluetooth and had it connect to my laptop instantly. There is also a USB dongle that can be used, which sits just below the charging port on the back.The feedback on the keys is nice, but certainly takes some getting used to when reverting from a membrane keyboard. The keys don't require much pressure, and make a satisfying sound when pressed. I did find that it is very easy to make typos if you are not entirely accurate, and that the sound of the keys was particularly loud. Although it didn't bother me too much, when used in the same room as somebody else it can be annoying for them.There are a few different options when it comes to adjusting the backlight. It is quite tedious as it involves pressing a combination of the fn keys, and adjusting the settings via a small lcd monitor. You have all sorts of colour options, which took quite a bit of time and effort for me to scroll through as I just wanted a plain, dimly lit single colour.Whilst the keyboard is generally very good, as another reviewer has pointed out, the 'Menu' key is spelt 'Meun'. For a keyboard that costs £80, this is not a great look, but ultimately it doesn't impact the keyboard.Overall, rather impressed as my first mechanical keyboard in a while, albeit with little comparison to what else is available. Easy to set up and use, looks good, and quite a few options for customisation!

Most Satisfying Keyboard Noise Ever
I've had a number of keyboards over the years and use them for work and gaming. What's difficult to underestimate is the feedback differences when typing, and this is where mechanical keyboards win time and time again. These keys are very elevated and make the most satisfying sound when pressing, a hybrid of standard keyboards and an old fashioned typewriter.The multiple connection options are a real bonus, although I prefer standard USB connections. The RGB is nice and soft and I have to say this is my favourite keyboard yet.

Quality mechanical keyboard
The media could not be loaded. The first thing I noticed about this keyboard after unboxing was a cosmetic defect: the menu key is spelled as 'muen'. However, upon downloading the manual, I discovered that the key is supposed to be spelled correctly as 'menu'. This lack of attention to detail doesn't inspire much confidence in the quality control. The included paper manual and the box both have the Menu key spelled correctly, so it should be straightforward to replace it with the included keycap puller, if the manufacturer has the correct key available.Putting that issue aside, the keyboard itself is solid, well-built, compact, and feels great to type on, albeit a bit clacky, which is expected for a mechanical gaming keyboard. The RGB effects are fantastic, offering a wide range of customizable options through the little screen, allowing you to adjust speed, colour, and brightness. You can also use FN key shortcuts to change the light effects. Additionally, it's simple to connect via Bluetooth using the 5GHz mode, using my iPad Pro 12.9. The keyboard also comes with an excellent quality braided USB-C to USB-A cable, featuring gold-coloured connectors that add a touch of elegance.While the keyboard boasts premium features, such as the screen, customizable RGB effects, high-quality rotary knob, and hot-swappable keys, the misspelled menu key dampens the overall experience and raises concerns about the quality control. Personally, I wouldn't accept a keyboard with misspelled keys. However, despite this flaw, I still believe it's a top-quality keyboard with many useful features and a unique little LED screen. I would highly recommend it.
