Love to see a knew video from you great sounding board also cool to see you getting into the budget scene with Epomaker boards more

[@kaeroseon]

another smart rebrand choice from epomaker. considering its price, that flex is insane.

[@YBBK]

Yeah, Ill point out the rebranding in the full review but this times it’s actually very fairly priced. No big upmark.

[@kaeroseon]

@@YBBK still mostly impressed by how bouncy it looks after removing the top gasket. seems like finally a board that can offer proper introduction to a gasket's keyboard bounce for beginners to see if they like it or not.

[@YBBK]

@@kaeroseon Frfr, definitely one of the bounciest boards I’ve tried yet. I also agree with your comment on introducing beginners to gasket mounting, awesome to see how the market is changing! However to achieve the bounce, I actually had to sand down the cavities as the pcb was causing interference, it’ll be shown the video. Otherwise, I love this board it’s amazing! Simple designs>>>

@@YBBK how does this compare to the akko budget series of keyboards(the gasket mount ones)? I've seen Ur vid on this keeb but just wanted an opinion on which is better

[@YBBK]

@@edmundsiadari6234 Both this and akkos boards are great, you can’t really go wrong with either. The 680 has qmk via south facing sockets which I’m pretty sure most akko boards as of now don’t have (although south facings pcbs are being slowly implemented) Akko boards on the other hand have a much better unboxing experience, range of included accessories and building quality. Which one is “better” really depends on your needs

Note: Forgot to include for “Experimental” sound test, there is also 2 layers tape mod

@@YBBK there was a limeted 10 percent discount also mine sounds horrible i have both included foams no tape please help call 911 my dad died cause of how horrid this is. Mine also doesnt work with via and i am confused why.

[@YBBK]

@@Kenzie1051 You need to shave down the left and right gasket cavities of the bottom case so that the pcb has more room to fit. For via support, you need to go to their website and download the .JSON file and import it into via. Then it should work. My video coming up will go over these!

[@Kenzie1051]

[@mendax7125]

Is there any chance I could build with exact swtiches but with a different gasket(?). I'm new to this, but i really enjoyed the build, alas for programmers 65% is not enough in many cases. Do you have any alternatives?

[@YBBK]

You can just use the included gaskets but you just won’t have the same amount of flex as I did (after changing the gaskets to d65) This shouldn’t be too big of a deal as I’m sure it’ll still sound/feel great. As for alternates, you could check out akkos new 75% boards, especially the new south facing pc75!

[@ashoc0]

how are the shoko epomaker keycaps? any good?
