EPOMAKER Galaxy 100 Mechanical Keyboard

$109.99

 The Galaxy 100 Mechanical Keyboard brings together all the things I love about EPOMAKER’s keyboards – it looks great, sounds great, and is super customisable to your typing or gaming needs. As a big fan of EPOMAKER keyboards, I was thrilled to test out the Galaxy 100 keyboard and see if it stands up to the company’s stellar reputation as a great keyboard producer.

My first impression of the Galaxy 100 Keyboard is that it is heavy – very heavy! The package arrived and you can immediately feel the weight of the aluminium gasket which adds a premium and super sturdy finish to your office set-up. The keyboard we tested came in the black colourway, with pink symbols and letters on the keys. I liked the overall look of the keyboard, which is a full length and looked smart on my desk. However, once plugged in the keyboard comes to life, and each key has south-facing RGB lighting so the keys glow as you type for a great all-around aesthetic typing experience – even in bright settings.

One of my favourite aspects of the keyboard as someone who spends most of their life typing is the sound of the keys. The Galaxy 100 has been designed with sound-dampening materials which deliver a nice but muted click with each key. This made typing for work super satisfying and even made gaming fun as each key has a soft but satisfying click and feel.

All EPOMAKER keyboards are designed to be customised to each user's preference, and the Galaxy 100 is no different. All of the keys are either 3 or 5-pin hot-swappable so you can make each one even more custom to your typing preferences. This flexibility extends into the connection of the keyboard to your computer, as it has tri-mode connectivity so can connect with the included wire, USB receiver, or even via Bluetooth. This flexibility means that connecting is much simpler, and you don’t need excess wires covering your desk to use the keyboard. For the wireless modes, the keyboard thankfully has an 8000mAh battery to keep the keyboard powered and glowing for a long time between uses.

Overall, the EPOMAKER Galaxy 100 Mechanical Keyboard provides a premium quality finish that is sturdy and pairs it with the flexibility and customizability that we’ve come to love about EPOMAKER keyboards. If you are looking for the ideal gift for a PC gamer this year, or want to enhance your own office set-up, the Galaxy 100 keyboard is a great choice.

Pros:

• Heavyweight gasket that is sturdy and feels premium
• Tri-mode connectivity
• Bright RGB lighting for a great look in both bright and low-lighting

Cons:

• The keys make a satisfying click that is more muted than other keyboards I’ve tried but not completely silent so not ideal for use in quiet settings
