I purchased the Epomaker Dynatab 75 last month with the same wisteria linear switches and I must say that the experience was not great.

- The bluetooth connectivity is completely broken. First off, the process to make the keyboard available for pairing is very unintuitive and complicated. I was never able to pair three systems (windows pc, iPad and an android phone) using the quick switch option. I always have to hard reset the Bluetooth on the keyboard and connect one of the machines only at a time.

- The battery life, with backlights on at the highest setting, is maximum 2 3 days at max for heavy users. And then, again, the way to check how much battery is available is super unintuitive (long press Fn+Backspace) and does not work every everytime.

To their credit, the support team was responsive but the best they could do was to ask me to either return for a refund or get a replacement. They were not able to solve the problems I had.

On the contrary, I have the Epomaker EP84 Plus and have really enjoyed it. I get a week+ of daily work-use out of the battery. Moved to 2.4Ghz after I had a Bluetooth connection drop, but that didn't happen for the first couple of months. (Unsure if it would rear itself again.)

Barring that connectivity blip, it's been an upgrade from my Keychron K2. Switches/typing feels (and sounds) better.

- Checking the battery level on my model is Fn+space
- only used with 1 PC

Epomaker has been banned from reddit by the site administrators (not mods, but the actual site). Just be careful, and make sure to return it if anything is even remotely strange.

Issues vary from keyboard to keyboard. This one in particular is rated 4.0 with 2k reviews, which is already a red flag. Generally keyboards with thousands of ratings are rated at least 4.5 on Amazon.

Yeah the RT100 is well known at this point as one of their least reliable keyboards, which is a shame since 100% mechanicals are fairly rare compared to the compact form factors. I would definitely not buy this and see other options from them, like the Aula F99 or the Galaxy100, just for less headaches in the long run.

Epomaker being banned from Reddit isn't really a concern since the admins (not mods) generally suck at doing their job.

Don't know about this exact keyboard but I do like the wisteria switches really great for their price. I have one of the 65% keyboards from them and like it over the keychron k1 I was using. The shadow x i think 🤔

edit: i should note I always use it wired so I can't comment to the wireless stability or quality of epomaker.

Oh no .......

There is a special place in hell for people that do that.
Just give up and make it tenkeyless ?

No person who needs a numpad would tolerate this nonsense.

The Epomaker site has the Epomaker x Aula F99 Pro for $65 right now. I ended up going with that instead.

Epomakers quality control is atrocious, sorta makes sense with the number of keyboards they make I guess. I've read story after story of people having issues, including myself with the Dynatab 75. Some people say they've worked flawless for them though
