Epomaker 680 | This is the best entry board.

[@tuaans9687]

This board is good, but one thing you need to be careful about is that when you turn on the led too bright, the keyboard can become extremely hot, pcb may be damaged, and this is not good at all

[@YBBK]

Ah I did not think about this, thanks for mentioning!

[@papihuey]

If that was me, it would be fine cuz I barely use RGB at all😂 but it’s a nice feature to have in case

[@JadeZen520]

Near Taekeyboards level of intro there, I love it. Cinematography's getting up there Bob/Bobby/Rob/Robert/Bobert

[@YBBK]

This probably the biggest complement I’ve had so far lol. I love his work! Thank you :)

[@samuell7492]

haven't even finished the video yet, wanted to comment on how nice the intro was LOL

[@YBBK]

Haha ty!

[@ouramoloss]

I love the first configuration, clearly my favorite, even though I like the spacebar a lot in the PE foam configuration. Impressive keyboard for its price range!

[@PCBWay]

The keyboard looks SO good!!👍👍

[@corecombat26]

The board is originally the FK680 Pro, costing about 50 usd on taobao if you live near china and have acess to it. there seems to be a black version comming up as well

[@YBBK]

I was expecting someone to comment on the price of this. As good as $50 on taobao may seem, shipping/import fees is usually very expensive and can range from $20-30. In addition, once shipped, you are basically on your own as post purchase customer service is nearly nonexistent. (Speaking from my experience) I personally would be fine with ordering off taobao, however Im sure most people would prefer ordering it from epomaker as it’s a more well rounded experience overall. I’d say the mark up is some what reasonable

[@corecombat26]

@@YBBK Yea its a reasonable price to pay for those who lives in the west, plus there will be some sort of customer service. For south east asian the shipping is like 5-10 usd, so if one were to live in the area id recommended getting one from the source

[@YBBK]

Top notch video, as always! Thanks for showing all these keyboards I never heard of and now want to get :D

[@YBBK]

Thank you! welcome to the rabbit hole 😂😂

[@wha-TN-ot]

Awesome video, as always!!! Speaking of Epomaker boards, are you ever gonna make a video on the Epomaker TH80? It’s just that I also have that board and I would love to hear your input on it!! Keep up the amazing work on your vids 👍 👍

[@YBBK]

Thanks! I probably won’t take a look at the th80 as it’s very similar to a board I’ve already reviewed. It’s on my channel and called “ec66” and is basically the th66 which is similar to the th80 😂

[@wha-TN-ot]

@@YBBK Haha totally understandable 😂👍 thanks!

[@YBBK]

@@wha-TN-ot I suggest you check out pulsaka’s video on the th80 though! He went very in detail regarding mods! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jILXh4R5aJ2biMU

[@brdon2099]

What are the commands to change rgb?? What keys would u use also how would qmk work on this

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

It's a nice board but that case fitment issue would be a deal breaker for a lot of new folks, or people who just aren't handy. Hopefully it's just a one-off issue that won't affect most boards.

[@YBBK]

Yeah my guess was that the pcb or case was a bit warped resulting in the issue. Like you said, hopefully a one off issue! Though in my opinion, it’s things like that that make building keyboards fun, encountering unexpected issues and finding ways to solve them. It’s just satisfying for me at least lol 😂

[@Ryan.Kooper]

idk the th66 has that knob ;)

[@Arro20GX]

Are you able to turn off the RBG on the edges of the board while keeping the key RGB on?

[@YBBK]

Yes they are separate

[@emyttpearce5539]

hi what is this board like compared to the ec66 ik you already kind of mentioned it but can you explain a little bit to me thanks

[@khoinguyen-cc3mo]

Other than epomaker’s page, where can i buy this board?

[@YBBK]

I believe it is being sold on taobao and aliexpress

[@Mars21681]

would a dremil be able to make the holes in the pcb without damaging it so that screw mount stabs would be installed directly. then there would be no need for a plate at all?

[@YBBK]

I don’t think that’s a good a idea lol you might accidentally break connections. Even if you could, the dust from the drilling is dangerous to breath in (fiber glass)

[@Mars21681]

@@YBBK yikes! No wonder it's never done in videos

[@Mars21681]

@@YBBK im looking for a keeb that I'm going to gift. It needs a split space bar, wireless capability, and ideally an acrylic case.. but metal is fine too. Gasket mount, direction of sockets is regardless and can be ether solder or hot swap

[@YBBK]

@@Mars21681 You should check out the feker alice then! I have one on hand and it’s really solid for the price

[@enwitt]

How do the clones compare to actual gmk shoko?

[@doobynooby5373]

As someone that has both they dont look similar at all, the clones are much darker color and the letter keycaps are more of a white whereas the gmk is a blueish tint. I'm not sure if the ones in this vid look lighter because of filter/editing or if these clones are different from the ones I bought, but mine certainly dont look like that (i got mine from aliexpress)

[@YBBK]

Hey sorry for the late reply! Since I don't have the real set, dooby nooby definitely offers more knowledge than me lol. But as I said in the video, for the price, they really aren't bad at all!

[@doobynooby5373]

@@YBBK epomaker clones seem to be much better though, I checked my clone and I believe mine are pbt not abs and dont have the same doubleshot mold. So these clones may be more color accurate (tbh from the vid they look really close to gmk that even i was surprised). My aliexpress clone was balf the price of this epomaker one though and I got it a while ago back when clones was first starting to be a thing so it's possible mine just suck lol

[@YBBK]

@@doobynooby5373 ahhh i see, yeah the double shot clones are pretty dang close imo lmao. I’ve seen some of the dye sun ones before and they ain’t really it 😂

[@dmsviola1]

Thanks so much for this review! I saw this up on Epomaker's website but was fence sitting on whether to buy it or not. One quick question I had was whether the RGB lighting is adjustable to the degree of the minicat 64 (my first build). Can you adjust the per key and case lighting and are there color saturation options?

[@YBBK]

Glad I could help you out! Regarding lighting, as mentioned in the video, it cannot be controlled via software. You are left with the pre install lighting settings. They can be changed by per key and back lighting by using key shortcuts (per key and backlighting can be controlled separately) Im pretty sure you cant control the saturation but you can control the brightness level ans change colours.

[@TheAlixSH]

If you have ever reviewed Akko Acr 67. How would you compare them actually?

[@YBBK]

I haven’t review the acr 67 but currently I would recommend the 680 over it. This is for three main reasons, the 680 has cnc case, south facing sockets and qmk/via support which the acr doesn’t have. However, if you are a beginner, the acr 67 will provide an overall better user experience (more accessories, better customer support, more premium packaging) My suggestion is that you wait as akko is refreshing their acr series and brining the features i mentioned earlier to their boards.

[@TheAlixSH]

@@YBBK I see. I had not taken all these into account. Thank you so much for the insight. I will do that!
