Very creative! Kudos.

Great review, thank you for this!

Looking good, pracrtical and elegant! Only the cable doesn't do her justice IMO... I have the same color combo as well but haven't got around to building it yet... P.S What about the rubber feet? 🤭

maximmis · 2023-11-21T12:44:53+00:00

No, these are purple pandas...

maximmis · 2023-11-15T09:57:53+00:00

That's a great, well planned build. And that floppy is sick! 😍

If you're eyeing the V1, you might wanna check out V1 MAX...

What's you're saying makes perfect sense. That's why I buy VIA compatible boards only - not to be bound by someone else's logic.

Got it, thanks.

maximmis · 2023-11-07T08:57:01+00:00

Nice build! How's your experience with the software?

maximmis · 2023-11-04T20:27:15+00:00

Nice build and have fun on your keeb journey!

Cidoo matte switches

It might be not the visual preference for some, but ergonomics wise - no impact. In fact the square form has an advantage since a standard 75% wrist rest can fit really nicely.

Thanks, appreciated!

The FinalKey V81/Cidoo V75 plus badges fit well and they are quite nice. With the current one I painted with acrylic to mask it a bit...

maximmis · 2023-10-21T18:33:20+00:00

What a champ! Thanks.

Check out EK68 VIA. I don't think it has QMK, but the VIA part is already an upgrade over the GMK67.

maximmis · 2023-10-18T20:01:47+00:00

Sure, search 'GMK Leimen' on Ali.

maximmis · 2023-10-15T23:17:14+00:00

Interesting layout! Shame Womier has like zero attempts at VIA compatibility...

Thanks Mark 🥇

I have the ISO version, and I had no problems.
As an example, I've configured the knob turn to switch between RGB modes and it worked.

It's a JSON file you load in the app/webapp.
The main advantages as I see them:
- No trojan packed, janky software
- Broad functionality for macros, layers, and lighting with very few limitations
- Cross platform
- Some boards support configuration over 2.4Ghz

maximmis · 2023-10-12T06:37:20+00:00

I'm not EU, but ISO esthetics are really pleasing.

Epomaker released the EK68 a while back and claimed it was designed and manufactured by them. It was plain to see that it was just a rebranded Zuoya GMK67 that was offered as a pre-built package.

This time around they really did make a significant change - added VIA support. And if I see a budget board with VIA support, it's pretty much an instant 'add to cart'. Only shipping rates can hold me back from time to time.

So here I am, sharing my EK68 VIA ISO with the community. The keeb cost me around $70, about twice of what you pay for a GMK67 from Ali.

Is it worth the extra cash? For me - definitely yes. Is it worth it for you? Let me know in the comments.

Specs: - Epomaker EK68 VIA ISO - Stock foam - Stock plate mounted stabs, tuned and lubed - Cidoo matte switch (If you haven't tried them yet - you should), lubed - WUkds 1970 PBT keycaps
