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

The media could not be loaded. 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!

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 sound 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.

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.

Complete junk. When using the wifi dongle it CONSTANTLY loses connection. If you let the keyboard go to sleep it needs to reassociate the driver each and every time. Get used to the windows "ding ding" happening over and over again. Then you wait for the connection.... THEN you can type. Same thing when plugged in, constantly looses connection. WHILE PLUGGED IN?! Stay far, far away. I literally tossed this into the garbage just now.

One of the best keyboards that I've bought. Great construction. The keys that come with it are linear and a little light. Great for gaming, but not that much for typing. Does take some time to get used to, but overall a very good typing experience.Aluminum body is very nice quality. Comparable in build to my Keychron Q5 Pro. The hot swap for the mechanical switches are a little stiff.

I own many many epomaker keyboards and other mechanical keyboards. It’s a growing collection and hobby of mine. Long story short, the aluminum board is beautiful. The key caps are trash compared to their other key caps on other boards. I switched out the switches to see if it was just the switch, but the key caps are the issue.They feel too thin and light which creates a sharp noise and definitely not thocky or creamy. It’s just a weird sensation and noise. Not good at all.I even switched out the key caps with another set I have and it only confirmed more that the key caps are no good with this board.If you buy this then make sure it’s on sale. I’m having a bit of buyers regret now that i have to mod it more than I wanted to.

A thing of beauty!The lime switches are too light, they get triggered with the slightest touch.RBG is vibrant and south facing make them look even better.Pricey at 139 but if you can find it at a discount, you won't be disappointed at what you get.Wish it came with a coiled cable.

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!
