1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:01,545
So we're gonna check out
two keyboards here

2
00:00:01,545 --> 00:00:02,569
from Epomaker,

3
00:00:02,569 --> 00:00:03,770
who are also sponsoring this video.

4
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:05,405
They wanted me to check out

5
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:06,473
two of their keyboards

6
00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:07,988
that are pretty unique.

7
00:00:08,608 --> 00:00:09,769
One of them has a mini screen,

8
00:00:09,769 --> 00:00:10,877
a detachable screen,

9
00:00:11,077 --> 00:00:12,262
it also has a joystick.

10
00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:14,547
And then the other one has another screen

11
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:15,679
built into it,

12
00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:17,333
which is wild.

13
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:19,319
There's a lot actually going on here.

14
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,987
Anyway, let's actually look at the boxes.

15
00:00:20,987 --> 00:00:22,956
Let's actually look
at what we've got here.

16
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:24,991
So yeah, this is the 65% layout.

17
00:00:25,191 --> 00:00:26,192
RT65.

18
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:28,995
It has a detachable mini display, mini TV.

19
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:30,330
RGB lights, stuff like that.

20
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:31,856
Let's get into this one first.

21
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:35,796
Okay. Manual.

22
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,484
We don't need a manual.

23
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:38,905
Accessories.

24
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:39,939
Let's have a look at what we've got.

25
00:00:39,939 --> 00:00:42,242
Okay, so we've got keys.

26
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:44,264
We have got the display.

27
00:00:45,162 --> 00:00:46,162
Yo.

28
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,692
This is tiny.

29
00:00:53,953 --> 00:00:54,988
USB-C as well.

30
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:56,269
That is tiny.

31
00:00:56,623 --> 00:00:58,175
That's actually crazy how small it is.

32
00:00:58,835 --> 00:01:00,063
What else have we got in here?

33
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:02,062
Oh, wow.

34
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:04,641
We have got one hefty USB cable here.

35
00:01:04,811 --> 00:01:06,799
So USB-A on one end,

36
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,167
USB-C on the other.

37
00:01:08,517 --> 00:01:10,256
Comes in a leather strap as well.

38
00:01:10,336 --> 00:01:12,173
Let's get to the keyboard.

39
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:14,741
If you're a Mac user like me,

40
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,176
they do have the option

41
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:17,544
and command keys as well

42
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:19,045
so you can replace them on the keyboard.

43
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:21,648
So this is a 65% layout

44
00:01:22,048 --> 00:01:24,050
and this colourway is quite interesting.

45
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:26,869
It's kind of like a beigey, browny colourway.

46
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:30,076
Not a colourway that you see that often,
to be honest, at all.

47
00:01:30,316 --> 00:01:31,348
Already sounds...

48
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:34,060
Already sounds incredible.

49
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:35,261
This joystick here, though,

50
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:36,246
that is pretty cool.

51
00:01:36,963 --> 00:01:38,731
It literally feels like a joystick that you get

52
00:01:38,731 --> 00:01:40,333
on a proper controller.

53
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:43,169
I'm not sure what you would use it for, though.

54
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:44,734
I assume it's completely customisable,

55
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:46,606
so you can do whatever you like with it.

56
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:48,741
But I can imagine this on like a canvas.

57
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,910
Imagine like you're on Figma or Photoshop.

58
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:52,245
Being able to move around the canvas

59
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:53,166
with the joystick.

60
00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:54,478
That'd be pretty cool.

61
00:01:55,415 --> 00:01:56,716
Of course, we can turn it on.

62
00:01:56,716 --> 00:01:59,021
And it has a 3000 mAh battery.

63
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:01,099
We can see the RGB effects there.

64
00:02:01,349 --> 00:02:03,156
Pretty insane.

65
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:03,990
There's a lot going on here.

66
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:05,647
And they're south facing RGB as well,

67
00:02:05,647 --> 00:02:06,526
so you can actually see them.

68
00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:08,048
This is also pretty neat.

69
00:02:08,528 --> 00:02:09,395
The RGB on there.

70
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:10,663
I assume you can customise that.

71
00:02:10,663 --> 00:02:13,166
We also have the transmitter here

72
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,001
for connecting it wirelessly

73
00:02:15,001 --> 00:02:15,993
to your PC.

74
00:02:16,183 --> 00:02:17,735
I assume if you don't wanna use Bluetooth.

75
00:02:18,605 --> 00:02:19,572
And of course,

76
00:02:19,572 --> 00:02:24,283
the display goes in to here like so.

77
00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:25,712
Oh, there we go.

78
00:02:25,712 --> 00:02:26,579
Can you guys see that,

79
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:28,715
that they

80
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:30,150
just washed right away.

81
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,384
So it looks like

82
00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:32,418
you can see your battery life.

83
00:02:32,418 --> 00:02:33,686
You can see the date.

84
00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:35,255
You can see

85
00:02:35,255 --> 00:02:36,723
if I keep it up.

86
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:37,624
You can see

87
00:02:37,624 --> 00:02:38,958
it's searching

88
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:39,893
for Bluetooth

89
00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:41,194
connectivity.

90
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:42,929
That is pretty awesome.

91
00:02:42,929 --> 00:02:44,731
That is actually sweet.

92
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:45,632
That's pretty smart.

93
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,734
This USB cable is really nice.

94
00:02:47,867 --> 00:02:49,736
Has usb-a SBC on one end,

95
00:02:49,736 --> 00:02:52,705
nice and thick and.

96
00:02:52,705 --> 00:02:53,239
And yet

97
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:55,508
some orange accents as well.

98
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:57,844
These are some really nice USB cables.

99
00:02:57,877 --> 00:02:59,212
Very premium feeling

100
00:02:59,212 --> 00:03:00,280
I think the thickness of the cable.

101
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:09,722
Alina, is pretty awesome.

102
00:03:11,824 --> 00:03:12,792
Let's move that aside.

103
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:15,328
And now let's look at the 48.

104
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:16,796
We have a display on here

105
00:03:16,796 --> 00:03:19,232
as well, 75%

106
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:20,800
layout,

107
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,435
very similar to the 46,

108
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:25,071
but of course, a 75% layout.

109
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:26,439
And this one is in

110
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,141
my favourite colour white, which is black.

111
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,143
Like it's just nice and simple.

112
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:30,877
Accessories

113
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:32,312
should be fairly similar or nice.

114
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:33,880
I actually gave

115
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:35,582
a matching

116
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:37,483
USB cable with this one,

117
00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:38,818
so you don't have

118
00:03:38,818 --> 00:03:40,153
the same colour USB cable.

119
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,120
You do have a matching one.

120
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,855
This is a grey,

121
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,791
which I like and on this side.

122
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:46,192
Oh, interesting.

123
00:03:46,192 --> 00:03:48,094
So they've given actually a bunch

124
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,295
of other keys here,

125
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:51,431
keycaps here.

126
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:52,465
So if you

127
00:03:52,465 --> 00:03:54,400
have like the enter key in three

128
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,668
different colours pretty much.

129
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:56,502
Oh there's white as well.

130
00:03:56,502 --> 00:03:57,770
Yes. Green.

131
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:59,439
White. Blue and red.

132
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:01,608
Oh I do like the look of this already.

133
00:04:02,942 --> 00:04:04,911
This is probably already my favourite

134
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,779
out of the two

135
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:07,981
for a few reasons.

136
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,550
I mean, the main thing that is black here,

137
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:12,885
I really do like the look of this a lot.

138
00:04:12,885 --> 00:04:15,054
This is a really nice looking keyboard.

139
00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:15,655
Nice and minimal.

140
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:17,156
Nice and clean.

141
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:19,425
There's a screen here.

142
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,394
Let's peel that off.

143
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:21,661
Right.

144
00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:23,896
So but what I also like

145
00:04:23,896 --> 00:04:26,432
is that there's media controls.

146
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:26,933
So when I'm

147
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:28,668
either working or gaming,

148
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:29,869
I listen to music

149
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:30,670
all the time,

150
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:32,138
literally constantly being able

151
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:33,640
to have dedicated music controls

152
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,108
to control my music.

153
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,010
That is a really nice feature to have.

154
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,144
Oh, wow. Okay.

155
00:04:38,144 --> 00:04:40,213
The IGB on this I think looks incredible.

156
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,981
Can actually see it

157
00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:43,082
much better on this

158
00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:44,617
on this keyboard.

159
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:45,518
The screen as well.

160
00:04:45,518 --> 00:04:47,553
It's pretty awesome.

161
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:52,392
So we also have the

162
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:53,226
two point

163
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:54,794
is a 2.4 gigahertz

164
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:55,762
transmitter here as well.

165
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:56,763
If I can get it out there.

166
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:57,630
You got it.

167
00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:59,866
Is 2.4 on the table,

168
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:01,401
four gigahertz transmitter as well

169
00:05:01,401 --> 00:05:02,101
here.

170
00:05:02,735 --> 00:05:03,403
It's actually nice

171
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:05,038
that we have it here

172
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:06,205
so that you don't lose it

173
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:07,607
because the amount of times of lost

174
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:09,609
dongles and transmitters and stuff,

175
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:11,044
because it's like in the box

176
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:12,779
or something, it's not actually attached

177
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:14,180
to the keyboard in some way.

178
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:15,481
Like it's just quite annoying.

179
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:16,683
So with the 18,

180
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,651
we have a 75% layout,

181
00:05:18,651 --> 00:05:20,687
which is definitely my preferred layout.

182
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:22,288
I like having the functional off

183
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:23,690
keys 65%.

184
00:05:23,690 --> 00:05:24,891
I know for some people,

185
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:26,292
like it's great is amazing,

186
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,128
but I always miss the functional off keys.

187
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:30,997
I just like having the dedicated wah

188
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,165
function keys

189
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,300
for my typing experience.

190
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:35,835
My typing preference is it

191
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:37,170
just makes more sense for me.

192
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,206
This also has a 5000 mah battery.

193
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:41,541
It's a much bigger battery

194
00:05:41,541 --> 00:05:42,742
and so it should last

195
00:05:42,742 --> 00:05:44,644
for quite a bit longer too.

196
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,713
On the bottom, there are different levels

197
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,448
that you can stand it up at,

198
00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:50,083
which is nice because I know

199
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:51,451
for some people

200
00:05:51,451 --> 00:05:52,251
that can be a

201
00:05:52,251 --> 00:05:53,753
big thing, like having

202
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:55,621
the ability to

203
00:05:55,621 --> 00:05:57,023
angle the keyboard up

204
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:58,157
can make a big difference.

205
00:05:58,157 --> 00:06:00,093
Okay, so I've connected the keyboard

206
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:01,928
to my Mac, the Usb-C,

207
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:02,862
and we can see the screen.

208
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:04,664
This is in sort of its default state,

209
00:06:04,664 --> 00:06:06,099
but we can swipe on it

210
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:07,867
and we can get some functions

211
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,469
to control our Mac.

212
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,170
And I'll see you have four functions here

213
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:12,872
for basically touch screen

214
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:13,806
panels

215
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:14,640
and yeah,

216
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,975
you can change what you have on them

217
00:06:15,975 --> 00:06:17,777
as well as customisable

218
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:19,712
or so these are just the default options.

219
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:20,546
But that's pretty awesome

220
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:22,715
because you could basically pull

221
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:23,683
I think pretty much

222
00:06:23,683 --> 00:06:26,853
whatever you like in here.

223
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:31,591
What blows my mind

224
00:06:31,591 --> 00:06:33,059
about both of these keyboards

225
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,494
is the price.

226
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:36,562
They're less than $100 each of them.

227
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:38,164
I think this one last time I looked

228
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:39,665
was less than $70,

229
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:41,134
which is just crazy good value

230
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:42,268
for a keyboard like this

231
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:43,636
with all of this functionality.

232
00:06:43,636 --> 00:06:45,271
So I also have an Apple magic

233
00:06:45,271 --> 00:06:45,905
keyboard here

234
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:46,939
and you can see the difference.

235
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,074
Like there's a massive difference here.

236
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,809
Here you have a mechanical keyboard

237
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:50,443
and here you have

238
00:06:50,443 --> 00:06:51,944
a saw Chiclet style keyboard.

239
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:53,079
We can see the magic keyboard

240
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,347
is thin and smaller,

241
00:06:54,347 --> 00:06:55,948
but if you prefer

242
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,717
the mechanical typing experience,

243
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:58,951
of course you need something bigger.

244
00:06:58,951 --> 00:06:59,852
You need something thicker

245
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,020
for the key travel

246
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,122
and the keys, the keyboard itself,

247
00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:04,357
which isn't actually bigger.

248
00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:05,958
So I've now connected this keyboard

249
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,860
via usb-c to my Mac

250
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:08,795
because I wanted to see

251
00:07:08,795 --> 00:07:10,563
what the joystick does by default.

252
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:11,731
And the joystick by default

253
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:12,932
actually

254
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:14,333
does the music controls.

255
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,468
So you can change tracks

256
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:16,569
by going up and down

257
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,771
and then you can click it to mute,

258
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:20,072
and then you can also go left

259
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:21,774
and right to adjust the volume.

260
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,009
So this is quite funny.

261
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:24,277
I'm hoping you guys

262
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:25,511
can see this

263
00:07:25,511 --> 00:07:26,813
with the software.

264
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:29,015
I wasn't able to upload a picture

265
00:07:29,015 --> 00:07:30,716
to the screen on the keyboard

266
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:33,219
so you can have

267
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:34,120
anything you want to have ever.

268
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,822
You have a picture of your cat

269
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:37,623
or your dog or a loved one or whatever.

270
00:07:37,623 --> 00:07:39,091
You can have it on the screen,

271
00:07:39,091 --> 00:07:40,526
which is pretty funny.

272
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:41,427
You can even upload

273
00:07:41,427 --> 00:07:42,995
your own sketches and stuff.

274
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:45,331
So I just randomly just drew a line

275
00:07:45,331 --> 00:07:46,933
and yeah, you can upload it

276
00:07:46,933 --> 00:07:48,801
so you can really sort of put

277
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:50,937
whatever you want on the little screen

278
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:52,939
that's attached to the keyboard.

279
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:56,409
Let's get into one of the keys.

280
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:58,511
Like, say we should be able to

281
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:03,082
remove.

282
00:08:03,082 --> 00:08:04,383
Yeah, nice and easy.

283
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:06,586
The switch comes out super easy,

284
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:07,820
super clean,

285
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,556
and so you can change the switches out

286
00:08:10,556 --> 00:08:11,724
if you want to.

287
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:12,091
You can have

288
00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:13,793
whatever switches you like in this

289
00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:14,660
and of course you can change

290
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,496
the keycaps as well.

291
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:17,563
So that's pretty nice to see

292
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:19,832
a lot of customisation options there.

293
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:21,000
If you guys are interested

294
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,101
in either of these keyboards,

295
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:23,002
I'll leave a link to them

296
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,437
down in description below.

297
00:08:24,437 --> 00:08:25,538
Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.
