Good but not VIA compatible
I bought this mostly as a compact case with numpad for the office and it serves well. The ghz dongle works fine and wired is completly lag free with a nice quality cable. The battery lasts well, i use this daily and charge it maybe once a week to top it up. The case is quite light, it has some board flex when fully built.The gasket mounting seems great but this does mean ideally you should be putting switches in with the board disasembled so you can support the pcb. The lack of screws means this is not easily possible so you do run the risk of popping a hot swap socket when building. The sockets are also really tight and putting switches in requires more force than feels comfortable.The leds are bright and south facing, but the lack of software compatability means youre stuck with rainbow vomit rgb.Sound wise I have both silent and linear switches in this and the silent switches are truly muted with a satisfying low noise but the linear sound a little tikky. (Akko silent fairy and akko crystal) The stabs are actually fairly good, no rattle or scrape.All in all a good budget epomaker board. I wish it was via compatible and the building process was uncomfortable due to the tight sockets and flexy pcb mounting.

Excellent Bare Bones Kit
This is an excellent bare bones kit, that comes with almost everything you will need. The layout is great and the board feels firm and sturdy enough. There is a little flex but this is normal with this type of case. There are lots of options or customisation, and the LEDs are bright and illuminate well. There does not appear to be any software support for the LEDs and I found the support difficult to fathom, and had to go online to find what I needed. The case is not screwed together, but clipped, so care is needed when opening the chassis, and there fitment is tight, so the keys need to be inserted when disassembles as there is a risk of damaging the board. Overall it is great and will suit my needs very well, and for the price, it is a solid buy.

Works great, but QA needs work
This was easy to assemble and use. The typing feel on gasket mount feels fantastic and the sound is very crisp as well. However, I found that there were two keys that did not work. I tested them with just switches and checked on online keyboard detecting websites that the key just did not register.

Didn’t realise I bought used
So I bought this keyboard thinking it was new, however it arrived in an open waterlogged box, the keyboard box was fine and all off the parts were in the box. The keyboard itself had one of the liners damaged which I have had to tape down. One of the function keeps may be damaged and that's about it I have been testing and other than those minor issues it works fine led work, case did take some time to get into but other wise it was ok

Great price for VIA and 98 key layout board.
Update: After significant use, I've decided to up this to 5 stars. Everything below still applies, but this keyboard has become my daily driver.The board works perfectly, but I have a few gripes.- It's a gasket mount, but there is little room in the case, so there isn't a lot of flex.- I don't know if others will have this issue, there was not enough support on the plate and PCB to insert the switches while the keyboard is still assembled. I had to open the case, and take the plate and PCB out. In order to do this you will need to pop the top of the case off with a pry tool. It's on there pretty tight; even though I was using a plastic pry tool I still managed to very slightly damage the case while doing this.(see image)A previous review mentioned a red light under the FN key, this is the charging notification light, it went away for me after the battery was fully charged. Edit: Sometimes this light comes on even when the keyboard has been plugged in the entire time, and stays on longer than it should.

Hochwertiges Tastaturgehäuse für individuelle Konfiguration
Beim EPOMAKER EK98 98 handelt es sich um eine qualitativ sehr hochwertiges Tastaturgehäuse, das 98 Tasten aufnimmt. Die Tastenschalter und Tastenkappen sind nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten, müssen nach den persönlichen Vorlieben ergänzt und können den eigenen Wünschen entsprechend programmiert werden.Eine Verbindung ist wahlweise über Funk, Bluetooth oder Kabel möglich.Der Preis von knapp 84 Euro ist schon weit oben angesiedelt, aber angesichts der hohen Qualitätsstufe auch noch im grünen Bereich. Deshalb noch volle Punktzahl.Dies ist eine Vine Bewertung für ein mir kostenfrei überlassenes Produkt.
