Pros & Cons
Pros
Keycaps are thick pbt with a semi-matte finish on the typing surface. This is the first mk i have purchased with intentionality. The rgb effect you get with this is more of an underglow that reflects between the keycaps. These often come with shine-th... Read More
The blue switches give some of the best positive engagement i’ve experienced for a clicky, tactile switch. There's a switch/key cap puller which was a very nice touch for a hot-swap keyboard.
The sound and feel of this keyboard is reminiscent of high end builds being showcased on youtube. The sound is nice, i find it to be a satisfying clack. The epomaker theory th80 makes use of polyethylene (pe) foam.
The build quality of this keyboard is exceptional for the price. The quality of the dye-sub is mostly excellent. This keyboard is a great value for the money.
Cons
The it seems the control key is always glowing green and i have no idea why. The it's laggy for many seconds and overall a terrible typing experience.

The quality of the dye-sub is mostly excellent.
It served me well for a year but it was too noisy for me with the mx green switches.
Even with the software, the lighting mode options seem limited.
Price
The price is the best there is, and with the gateron yellow switches it feels and sounds great.
I got the epomaker theory th80 in gateron pro yellows and it is the best sounding and felliing keyboard i have used and the pri... Read More
If this was custom it would be 4x the price.
You can replace keycaps to enable this feature but stock keycaps are awesome.
Shipping
Honestly the shipping speed was not the best but the keyboard itself is amazing!
Packaging/appearance
Shipping was fast and packaging was fantastic!
Sounds good right out of the box (i got the gateron black pro).
I'm not going to deduct from the score for a packaging error or perhaps somebody at a warehouse opening it.
I swapped out the keycaps and the knob.
Competitiveness
The blue switches in this application give some of the best positive engagement i’ve experienced for a clicky, tactile switch.
Besides the board itself, the package included a user manual, a keycap puller, and a braided usb-c to usb-a cable.
Only other 60% besides this was a drop alt, this thing blows it out of the water and it's half the price.
my first mechanical keyboard was a razor blackwidow v2.

My only complaints are that the firmware they want you to download to mess with rgb and button mapping is really sketchy
