This keyboard has a screen - Epomaker RT80 and RT65

So we're gonna check out
two keyboards here

from Epomaker,

who are also sponsoring this video.

They wanted me to check out

two of their keyboards

that are pretty unique.

One of them has a mini screen,

a detachable screen,

it also has a joystick.

And then the other one has another screen

built into it,

which is wild.

There's a lot actually going on here.

Anyway, let's actually look at the boxes.

Let's actually look
at what we've got here.

So yeah, this is the 65% layout.

RT65.

It has a detachable mini display, mini TV.

RGB lights, stuff like that.

Let's get into this one first.

Okay. Manual.

We don't need a manual.

Accessories.

Let's have a look at what we've got.

Okay, so we've got keys.

We have got the display.

Yo.

This is tiny.

USB-C as well.

That is tiny.

That's actually crazy how small it is.

What else have we got in here?

Oh, wow.

We have got one hefty USB cable here.

So USB-A on one end,

USB-C on the other.

Comes in a leather strap as well.

Let's get to the keyboard.

If you're a Mac user like me,

they do have the option

and command keys as well

so you can replace them on the keyboard.

So this is a 65% layout

and this colourway is quite interesting.

It's kind of like a beigey, browny colourway.

Not a colourway that you see that often,
to be honest, at all.

Already sounds...

Already sounds incredible.

This joystick here, though,

that is pretty cool.

It literally feels like a joystick that you get

on a proper controller.

I'm not sure what you would use it for, though.

I assume it's completely customisable,

so you can do whatever you like with it.

But I can imagine this on like a canvas.

Imagine like you're on Figma or Photoshop.

Being able to move around the canvas

with the joystick.

That'd be pretty cool.

Of course, we can turn it on.

And it has a 3000 mAh battery.

We can see the RGB effects there.

Pretty insane.

There's a lot going on here.

And they're south facing RGB as well,

so you can actually see it.

This is also pretty neat.

The RGB on there.

I assume you can customise that.

We also have the transmitter here

for connecting it wirelessly

to your PC.

I assume if you don't wanna use Bluetooth.

And of course,

the display goes in to here like so.

Oh, there we go.

Can you guys see that?

That-- It just works right away.

So it looks like

you can see your battery life,

you can see the date,

you can see...

If I wake the keyboard up.

You can see it's searching

for Bluetooth connectivity.

That is pretty awesome.

That is actually sweet.

That's pretty smart.

This USB cable is really nice.

It has USB-A, USB-C on one end,

nice and thick.

And yeah, some orange accents as well.

These are some really nice USB cables.

Very premium feeling.

I think the thickness
of the cable alone is pretty awesome.

[keyboard clicking]

Let's move that aside.

And now let's look at the RT80.

We have a display on here as well.

75% layout.

Very similar to the RT60,

but of course, a 75% layout.

And this one is in my favourite colourway,

which is black.

It's just nice and simple.

Accessories should be fairly similar.

Oh nice, they actually give

a matching

USB cable with this one,

so you don't have the same colour USB cable,

you do have a matching one.

This is in grey,

which I like.

And on this side--

Oh, interesting.

So they've given actually
a bunch of other keys here,

keycaps here.

So if you have the enter key

in three different colours pretty much.

Oh, there's white as well.

Yeah, so green, white, blue, and red.

Ooh, I do like the look of this already.

This is probably already
my favourite out of the two.

For a few reasons.

I mean, the main one being that it is black.

Yeah, I really do like the look of this a lot.

This is a really nice looking keyboard.

Nice and minimal.

Nice and clean.

There's a screen here.

Let's peel that off like so.

But what I also like
is that there's media controls.

So when I'm either working or gaming,

I listen to music all the time,

literally, constantly.

Being able to have dedicated media controls

to control my music.

That is a really nice feature to have.

Oh, wow. Okay.

The RGB on this, I think, looks incredible.

You can actually see it
much better on this keyboard.

The screen as well, it's pretty awesome.

So we also have the...

2.-- Is it 2.4 gigahertz
transmitter here as well?

If I can get it out there.

There we go.

It is 2.4, right? Yeah.

2.4 gigahertz transmitter as well here.

It's actually nice that we have it here,

so that you don't lose it.

Because the amount of times

I've lost dongles and transmitters and stuff,

because it's like in the box or something,

it's not actually attached
to the keyboard in some way.

It's just quite annoying.

So with the RT80,

we have a 75% layout,

which is definitely my preferred layout.

I like having the functional row of keys.

65% layout, I know for some people,

it's great, it's amazing,

but I always miss the functional row of keys.

I just like having the dedicated
row of function keys,

for my typing experience,

my typing preference
it just makes more sense for me.

This also has a 5000 mAh battery.

So much bigger battery,

and so it should last
for quite a bit longer too.

On the bottom, there are different levels

that you can stand it up at,

which is nice because
I know for some people

that can be a big thing, like having

the ability to angle the keyboard up

can make a big difference.

Okay, so I've connected the keyboard

to my Mac via USB-C,

and we can see the screen.

This is in sort of its default state,

but we can swipe on it

and we can get some functions

to control our Mac.

And obviously, you have four functions here,

four, basically, touch screen panels.

And yeah, you can change
what you have on them as well.

It's customisable, obviously,
these are just the default options.

But that's pretty awesome,

because you could basically put--

I think pretty much
whatever you like in here.

[keyboard clicking]

What blows my mind
about both of these keyboards

is the price.

They're less than $100 each of them.

I think, this one,
last time I looked was less than $70,

which is just crazy good value

for a keyboard like this

with all of this functionality.

So I also have
an Apple Magic Keyboard here

and you can see the difference.

There's a massive difference here.

Here you have a mechanical keyboard

and here you have
a sort of chiclet style keyboard.

We can see the Magic Keyboard

is thin and smaller,

but if you prefer

the mechanical typing experience,

of course you need something bigger.

You need something thicker

for the key travel

and the keys, the keyboard itself,

will just naturally be bigger.

So I've now connected this keyboard

via USB to my Mac because I wanted to see

what the joystick does by default.

And the joystick by default,

actually, does the music controls.

So you can change tracks

by going up and down

and then you can click it to mute,

and then you can also go
left and right to adjust the volume.

So this is quite funny.

I'm hoping you guys can see this.

With the software,

I was able to upload a picture

to the screen on the keyboard.

So you can have anything you want here.

Maybe you have a picture of your cat

or your dog or a loved one or whatever,

you can have it on the screen,

which is pretty funny.

You can even upload
your own sketches and stuff.

So I just randomly just drew a line,

and yeah, you can upload it.

So you can really sort of put
whatever you want on the little screen

that's attached to the keyboard.

Let's get into one of the keys.

Like so.

We should be able to remove...

Yeah, nice and easy.

The switch comes out super easy,

super clean,

so you can change the switches out

if you want to.

You can have
whatever switches you like in this.

And of course, you can change
the keycaps as well.

So that's pretty nice to see,

a lot of customisation options there.

If you guys are interested

in either of these keyboards,

I will leave a link to them
down in description below.

Hopefully, you guys enjoyed it.
