1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:01,746
So we're gonna check out
two keyboards here

2
00:00:01,746 --> 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 --> 00:00:08,037
that are pretty unique.

7
00:00:08,608 --> 00:00:10,269
One of them has a mini screen,

8
00:00:10,269 --> 00:00:11,067
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 --> 00:00:21,035
Anyway, let's actually look at the boxes.

15
00:00:21,035 --> 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 --> 00:01:46,776
so you can do whatever you like with it.

56
00:01:46,776 --> 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 --> 00:02:01,469
We can see the RGB effects there.

64
00:02:02,419 --> 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 it.

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 --> 00:02:18,025
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 --> 00:02:26,709
Can you guys see that?

79
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,860
That-- It just works right away.

80
00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:31,384
So it looks like

81
00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:32,418
you can see your battery life,

82
00:02:32,418 --> 00:02:33,686
you can see the date,

83
00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:34,889
you can see...

84
00:02:35,255 --> 00:02:36,723
If I wake the keyboard up.

85
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:38,958
You can see it's searching

86
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:40,817
for Bluetooth connectivity.

87
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:42,929
That is pretty awesome.

88
00:02:42,929 --> 00:02:44,571
That is actually sweet.

89
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:45,632
That's pretty smart.

90
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,734
This USB cable is really nice.

91
00:02:47,867 --> 00:02:49,736
It has USB-A, USB-C on one end,

92
00:02:49,736 --> 00:02:50,935
nice and thick.

93
00:02:52,705 --> 00:02:55,018
And yeah, some orange accents as well.

94
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:57,844
These are some really nice USB cables.

95
00:02:57,877 --> 00:02:59,212
Very premium feeling.

96
00:02:59,212 --> 00:03:01,971
I think the thickness
of the cable alone is pretty awesome.

97
00:03:01,971 --> 00:03:04,781
[keyboard clicking]

98
00:03:11,824 --> 00:03:12,792
Let's move that aside.

99
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:15,556
And now let's look at the RT80.

100
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:17,279
We have a display on here as well.

101
00:03:18,369 --> 00:03:20,030
75% layout.

102
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,435
Very similar to the RT60,

103
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:25,301
but of course, a 75% layout.

104
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:27,456
And this one is in my favourite colourway,

105
00:03:27,456 --> 00:03:28,389
which is black.

106
00:03:28,389 --> 00:03:29,733
It's just nice and simple.

107
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:31,880
Accessories should be fairly similar.

108
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,435
Oh nice, they actually give

109
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:35,582
a matching

110
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:37,483
USB cable with this one,

111
00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:40,153
so you don't have the same colour USB cable,

112
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,120
you do have a matching one.

113
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,506
This is in grey,

114
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:43,835
which I like.

115
00:03:43,835 --> 00:03:44,817
And on this side--

116
00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:45,872
Oh, interesting.

117
00:03:46,192 --> 00:03:49,495
So they've given actually
a bunch of other keys here,

118
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:51,431
keycaps here.

119
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:53,525
So if you have the enter key

120
00:03:53,525 --> 00:03:55,668
in three different colours pretty much.

121
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:56,502
Oh, there's white as well.

122
00:03:56,502 --> 00:03:59,319
Yeah, so green, white, blue, and red.

123
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:01,558
Ooh, I do like the look of this already.

124
00:04:02,942 --> 00:04:06,152
This is probably already
my favourite out of the two.

125
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:07,981
For a few reasons.

126
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,330
I mean, the main one being that it is black.

127
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:12,445
Yeah, I really do like the look of this a lot.

128
00:04:12,885 --> 00:04:15,054
This is a really nice looking keyboard.

129
00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:15,655
Nice and minimal.

130
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:16,646
Nice and clean.

131
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:18,495
There's a screen here.

132
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:22,369
Let's peel that off like so.

133
00:04:23,099 --> 00:04:25,462
But what I also like
is that there's media controls.

134
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:28,448
So when I'm either working or gaming,

135
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:30,670
I listen to music all the time,

136
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:31,834
literally, constantly.

137
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:33,640
Being able to have dedicated media controls

138
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,978
to control my music.

139
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,010
That is a really nice feature to have.

140
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,344
Oh, wow. Okay.

141
00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:40,507
The RGB on this, I think, looks incredible.

142
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,062
You can actually see it
much better on this keyboard.

143
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:47,654
The screen as well, it's pretty awesome.

144
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:51,018
So we also have the...

145
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:55,762
2.-- Is it 2.4 gigahertz
transmitter here as well?

146
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:56,763
If I can get it out there.

147
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:57,630
There we go.

148
00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:59,466
It is 2.4, right? Yeah.

149
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:02,101
2.4 gigahertz transmitter as well here.

150
00:05:02,735 --> 00:05:05,038
It's actually nice that we have it here,

151
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:06,205
so that you don't lose it.

152
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:07,167
Because the amount of times

153
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:09,609
I've lost dongles and transmitters and stuff,

154
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:11,454
because it's like in the box or something,

155
00:05:11,454 --> 00:05:14,180
it's not actually attached
to the keyboard in some way.

156
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:15,481
It's just quite annoying.

157
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:16,683
So with the RT80,

158
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,651
we have a 75% layout,

159
00:05:18,651 --> 00:05:20,687
which is definitely my preferred layout.

160
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:22,758
I like having the functional row of keys.

161
00:05:22,758 --> 00:05:24,891
65% layout, I know for some people,

162
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:26,292
it's great, it's amazing,

163
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,128
but I always miss the functional row of keys.

164
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:32,165
I just like having the dedicated
row of function keys,

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

166
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:37,170
my typing preference
it just makes more sense for me.

167
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,206
This also has a 5000 mAh battery.

168
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:41,541
So much bigger battery,

169
00:05:41,541 --> 00:05:44,644
and so it should last
for quite a bit longer too.

170
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,713
On the bottom, there are different levels

171
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,448
that you can stand it up at,

172
00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:51,341
which is nice because
I know for some people

173
00:05:51,451 --> 00:05:53,753
that can be a big thing, like having

174
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:57,023
the ability to angle the keyboard up

175
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:58,157
can make a big difference.

176
00:05:58,157 --> 00:06:00,093
Okay, so I've connected the keyboard

177
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:01,928
to my Mac via USB-C,

178
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:02,862
and we can see the screen.

179
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:04,664
This is in sort of its default state,

180
00:06:04,664 --> 00:06:06,099
but we can swipe on it

181
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:07,867
and we can get some functions

182
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,469
to control our Mac.

183
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,270
And obviously, you have four functions here,

184
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:13,686
four, basically, touch screen panels.

185
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:16,416
And yeah, you can change
what you have on them as well.

186
00:06:16,976 --> 00:06:19,712
It's customisable, obviously,
these are just the default options.

187
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:20,546
But that's pretty awesome,

188
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:22,715
because you could basically put--

189
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,893
I think pretty much
whatever you like in here.

190
00:06:25,008 --> 00:06:27,558
[keyboard clicking]

191
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:33,059
What blows my mind
about both of these keyboards

192
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,131
is the price.

193
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:36,562
They're less than $100 each of them.

194
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:39,665
I think, this one,
last time I looked was less than $70,

195
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:41,134
which is just crazy good value

196
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:42,268
for a keyboard like this

197
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:43,636
with all of this functionality.

198
00:06:43,636 --> 00:06:45,905
So I also have
an Apple Magic Keyboard here

199
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:46,939
and you can see the difference.

200
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,134
There's a massive difference here.

201
00:06:48,134 --> 00:06:49,809
Here you have a mechanical keyboard

202
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:51,944
and here you have
a sort of chiclet style keyboard.

203
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:53,079
We can see the Magic Keyboard

204
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,347
is thin and smaller,

205
00:06:54,347 --> 00:06:55,948
but if you prefer

206
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,717
the mechanical typing experience,

207
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:58,951
of course you need something bigger.

208
00:06:58,951 --> 00:06:59,852
You need something thicker

209
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,020
for the key travel

210
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,122
and the keys, the keyboard itself,

211
00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:04,357
will just naturally be bigger.

212
00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:05,958
So I've now connected this keyboard

213
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:08,873
via USB to my Mac because I wanted to see

214
00:07:08,873 --> 00:07:10,563
what the joystick does by default.

215
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:11,731
And the joystick by default,

216
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:14,333
actually, does the music controls.

217
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,468
So you can change tracks

218
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:16,569
by going up and down

219
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,771
and then you can click it to mute,

220
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:21,774
and then you can also go
left and right to adjust the volume.

221
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,009
So this is quite funny.

222
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:25,041
I'm hoping you guys can see this.

223
00:07:25,041 --> 00:07:26,813
With the software,

224
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:29,015
I was able to upload a picture

225
00:07:29,015 --> 00:07:30,762
to the screen on the keyboard.

226
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:33,940
So you can have anything you want here.

227
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:35,822
Maybe you have a picture of your cat

228
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:37,623
or your dog or a loved one or whatever,

229
00:07:37,623 --> 00:07:39,091
you can have it on the screen,

230
00:07:39,091 --> 00:07:40,526
which is pretty funny.

231
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:42,915
You can even upload
your own sketches and stuff.

232
00:07:42,915 --> 00:07:45,331
So I just randomly just drew a line,

233
00:07:45,331 --> 00:07:46,933
and yeah, you can upload it.

234
00:07:46,933 --> 00:07:50,937
So you can really sort of put
whatever you want on the little screen

235
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:52,939
that's attached to the keyboard.

236
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:55,649
Let's get into one of the keys.

237
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:57,159
Like so.

238
00:07:57,159 --> 00:08:00,892
We should be able to remove...

239
00:08:03,082 --> 00:08:04,383
Yeah, nice and easy.

240
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:06,586
The switch comes out super easy,

241
00:08:06,586 --> 00:08:07,820
super clean,

242
00:08:08,502 --> 00:08:10,556
so you can change the switches out

243
00:08:10,556 --> 00:08:11,724
if you want to.

244
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:13,793
You can have
whatever switches you like in this.

245
00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:16,113
And of course, you can change
the keycaps as well.

246
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:17,563
So that's pretty nice to see,

247
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:20,012
a lot of customisation options there.

248
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:21,000
If you guys are interested

249
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,101
in either of these keyboards,

250
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:24,437
I will leave a link to them
down in description below.

251
00:08:24,437 --> 00:08:25,538
Hopefully, you guys enjoyed it.
