EPOMAKER is a brand you might not have heard of, but they have been on our radar for a little while now. They mainly make keyboards and keyboard accessories and they sent over their RT100 Mechanical Keyboard for us to take a look at. The RT100 is a 97-key keyboard that features mechanical key switches, a gasket-mount design, PBT keycaps, connectivity via USB, 2.4 GHz, or Bluetooth, a dedicated multi-media knob, and a cool little “mini TV” which is a small customizable display that you plug into the keyboard. Is this keyboard worth picking up in 2024? Read on to find out!
Special thanks to EPOMAKER for providing us with the RT100 Mechanical Keyboard to review.
