EPOMAKER Tide75 QMK/VIA Wireless Gaming Keyboard, 75% Aluminum Mechanical Keyboard, Programmable Creamy Keyboard, Bluetooth/2.4Ghz/USB-C, with FR4 Plate for Win/Mac (Blue, Lemon Switch)

Keycaps are just not good, but for this price point you have to sacrifice something; so, cheap keycaps are not that bad, just bought another set that I actually liked. Switches are clacky and sound good. But, I ordered some Kailh Box Navy bc the default switches are too light for me. Knob is alright, I think you can change it for a better one too, but don’t care too much about it, looks good enough. The via support is just amazing. Stabilizers are very good too, thought I would need to buy better ones, but I had no rattling at all, that is very cool. And the weight just feels right, I wanted a heavy board. The case feels nice and premium. 2.4ghz is a plus, but I like my cable. And that is it! Buy it if you are looking for an aluminum case keyboard, gasket performance might not be the best, and you will need to change the keycaps, but if that is not a deal breaker, then this is an amazing keyboard for you!

board looks great. Keycaps are not really awesome but that is an easy mod. out of the box works well. I have switched the keycaps and switches as upgrades. The keyboard itself is quite nice and feels heavy. Knob is very helpful and useful. It does feel stiffer than other boards at this price point but still a good value.

As someone who demands a lot from their keyboards, this keyboard is wonderful. I knew it was going to be great when I received the package from Amazon. The box was weighty, the color was gorgeously uniform and the unboxing experience was premium - a step above most other brands costing 2-3x as much. Although I don't love QMK/VIA, I have used it successfully for some hotkeys. I've been using this keyboard switching between Windows 11 gaming and work on macOS flawlessly for months. In my inventory currently are roughly 15 mechanical keyboards and the Tide75 has cemented its place as one of the best bargains I've ever had the pleasure to use. This would make an excellent base for customizations too, but is a workhorse right out of the box.

Keyboard arrived yesterday and I immediately swapped out keycaps which made a huge difference in both feel and sound. I connected via Bluetooth with zero issues or lag but also tried wired connection as I was charging. The stock Lemon switches are nice enough for most but since I prefer a quiet/silent keyboard I may end up switching to my go to TTC Frozen silent switches. I'm into keyboards for aesthetics and this one delivers like no other. The anodized pink glitters like jewelry and the rose garden keycaps make it look like a million bucks! Update: As of 4/8/25 I upgraded my switches to TTC Frozen Silent v2 and am using the PBT Floral Rose Garden keycaps. Very very smooth, quiet and beautiful. No issues with RGB or any lag whatsoever. I am using the keyboard with Bluetooth, have tried it wired but have not yet used the dongle.

Should have listened to the warnings from others. Wired mode is broken. Have to reset my keyboard every week just to get computer to register my inputs. And yes, I've tried plugging/unplugging it and I have it on wired mode. Absolutely terrible software.

The Epomaker Tide 75 is a moderately-priced aluminum keyboard that that feels and sounds very good. I replaced the keycaps because side legends make no sense to me, but otherwise I'm using it stock. While I find the switches a bit light for my taste, that is purely a matter of personal preference (and I'll install some heavier switches later). The aluminum shell is nicely anodized and quite solid. The stabilizers do not need lubing, and the knob is set to adjust the volume (and a press toggles the sound off and on). The QMK JSON file is available from the Epomaker site, and ViA running on QMK is very easy to use to remap keys or define macros. Frankly, this keyboard is a steal!

The actual keyboard is great as a wired keyboard. My wireless dongle died on me, and when I contacted Epomaker about purchasing a new dongle they wanted me to post a bunch of videos to prove I'd gone down a bunch of troubleshooting rabbit holes. The dongle is dead. Doesn't enumerate at all. I wasn't asking for warranty, I just wanted to purchase a replacement. Gave up and will just use as a wired keyboard -- am fairly disappointed in the level of support provided for a product at this price point though.

I wanted to love this keyboard. It is good in so many ways, VIA works (unlike several other Epomaker keyboards that advertise VIA compatibility), the purple color is fantastic, it's nice to type on, and sounds good. Problems start just beyond that. The keycaps are poor quality, the switches are very light (a little too easy to double tap and produce typing errors), the LED lighting is quite weak, and while the sound is "good", it's higher pitched and louder than I like. I have swapped in higher quality keycaps which helped a bit. Even though they are side/front facing shine-through caps, the F row are very hard to read and the number row is not much better. I have the board set to the highest brightness setting. I like the keyboard overall but those issues end up being a deal breaker. At $100+ I would not recommend this keyboard at all. I happened to get it on sale for around $54 and at that price I could justify it. So, If you can pick it up for $50 or so then go for it. Otherwise, I'd pass. I have a Epomaker Cidoo V65 v2 that I love unequivocally. It's phenomenal and I wish this Tide 75 would have been more like that.

Software was very basic.

Honestly want to rate 5 stars but having issues with the wired set up constantly needing to reset keyboard so it works after shutting the computer down. Haven't attempted the blue tooth or 2.4 wireless, if the wired control is buggy what hope is there. Sounds and looks amazing.

No suena bonito y el diseño de color es distinto a en las fotos. No vale lo que cuesta.

Ce clavier est un DELICE! Les keycaps sont douce, tout fonctionne out of the box MAIS! J'AI PAS PU TEST AVEC LE DONGLE 2.4!! Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il n'était pas dans son emplacement ni même dans le reste de la boite du tout quand je l'ai cherché. De toute façon, à l'ouverture, j'ai eu très peur car un switch, attaché à son keycap, le alt de gauche, était pas dans son emplacement. Heureusement pas de pin plié ni cassé et toutes les touches sont fonctionnelles en Bluetooth et en filaire (ATTENTION pour activer le filaire il faut faire FN + T ce qui a du m'être soufflé par un pote familier du clavier et de Epomaker). Je m'attendais à détester les switchs et c'est une délicieuse surprise. Il est orienté creamy donc pas pour moi mais le son est doux (aidé par un très bon traitement d'usine, c'est sûr ils sont bien lubrifiés et y'a tous les mods à base de mousse et de silicone possible dedans probablement et un gasket du feu de dieu). Je vais probablement changer les switchs pour mes akko fairy sûrs pour du silent thocc mais franchement les lemon epomaker sont vraiment déjà bien et je vais probablement en profiter pour mieux budgéter cet changement en les gardant quelques mois car j'ai plus qu'une vingtaine à la maison des akko. Concernant le dongle : le support d'Epomaker doit être contacté depuis le site Amazon anglais c'est un peu relou si vous êtes pas à l'aise avec l'anglais. C'est pas mon cas donc j'ai pu profiter de leur réactivité et ils m'envoient un dongle depuis la chine. Ça va prendre longtemps mais au moins je me fais pas suer à chercher un truc compatible de mon côté ce qui prendrait au moins autant de temps... Le fichier json est absolument pas reconnu par VIA. J'ai la flemme de chercher ce qui va pas. Au moins il me dit pas que c'est un numpad et le firmware et les setups QMK sont sur GitHub (accessible via leur site également) donc je vais pouvoir me débrouiller avec, mais si vous êtes pas débrouillard, il vous manquera la touche carré et la touche avec les chevrons <> dont j'ai absolument besoin pour mon travail qui est de communiquer avec des gens qui font de la programmation informatique donc les chevrons là leur absence et l'impossibilité de me faire mon raccourci VIA habituel est extrêmement handicapant quand je dois proposer un truc de code ou chercher un truc de code sur Google donc voilà c'est une review à chaud. Quand j'aurai le dongle je pense je reviendrai mettre 5 s'il arrive dans la timeline prévue sinon le 4 est déjà pas mal.

The typing experience was unsatisfactory. My finger kept clicking 2 keys simultaneously. The switch registers the click with the slightest of touches and newer switches and key caps might not fix the issue as the spacing between keys itself might be the problem (which can be said about most 75% keyboards ) even if you're wiliing to invest newer switches, keycaps or both. Those with EHS should know that it did cause pain in my hand in the 1 hour I spent testing. The key caps are easily removable with one hand. It actually arrived with some caps not pinned in place, i assume they fell out during shipping. Sound is good. RGB is gorgeous. Good build quality. Heavier than my laptop. USB C port and cable felt cheap. All 3 connectivity methods worked fine in the brief testing that I did.
