EPOMAKER Tide65 Keyboard Review

Epomaker positions the EPOMAKER Tide65 Keyboard as a premium gaming keyboards, asking $109.99. After 52 customer reviews on Amazon, the verdict is a solid 3.5 stars. We've ranked it #133 out of 141 in this category. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.

The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. In this price tier, you should expect aluminum top plates, doubleshot or PBT keycaps, and per-key RGB. If those aren't here, the price is hard to justify.

Buyers specifically call out: "Aluminum build".

Worth noting on the EPOMAKER Tide65 Keyboard specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "Programmable keys" as a standout.
