Pros & Cons
Pros
Key switches are snug against the board, and the keycaps have a little wobble. The switches and keycaps are in house akko branded.
These switches are my favourite by far. Lighting options are amazing, colour is great, you're able to dim or keep it bright.
The keyboard is really good if you want to customize your keyboard and add mod. Looks cute again. Great value keyboard.
The keyboard's n-key rollover and anti-ghosting features guarantee accurate input.
It's just a little lighter than i expected. It's still weighty enough to sit firmly on your desk. The actuation point is a little weighty and is right at the start. That polycarbonate plate is quite thick which contributes to the rigidity.
Cons
Software compatibility with mac systems is inaccurate. Screen brightness control is not as described in the manual. When bluetooth works, this is a great keyboard, don't get me wrong.
Highlights
Quality
I was stunned at how good the quality of this keyboard!
Great bang for the buck given the quality of the keycaps and switches.
My guess is that these boards can be good, but the quality might not be wholly consistent across all boards.
Just some issues with the side skirt possibly low quality as it break on me when try to swap the switches.
Price
For $130 cad i get about 70% of my q1 that cost me $300.
Shipping
And with the custom hobby, you often have to wait months to get your kit in and have to pay a ton in shipping and customs.
Packaging/appearance
The ek68 pleasantly surprised me in a very good way - right out of the box.
Competitiveness
It feels and sounds much better than my k65 lux!
The two kickstands under the keyboard are stable, with little or no wobble.
I ordered gateron yellows but was sent epomaker's budgerigar's switches.
Typing sound: it's not a clicky keyboard so it's not super loud.

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
As there is no switch opener provided in the box and i used the flat head driver to open the switches and somehow the side skirt cracked
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Though it helped me when opening the keyboard to apply the foam as it is too tight to just open with finger
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Crack doesnt affect in anyway to the performance of the keyboard but it would be great if skirt is not that low quality and neither too tight as everyone should apply foam to this keyboard to get the best out of it
