Epomaker Launches Bamboo75 and Galaxy75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboards

Epomaker previously revealed the Galaxy75 in an official livestream video, but the peripheral maker has now officially launched the Galaxy75 alongside a new keyboard, the Bamboo75. As we covered previously, the Galaxy75 features a relatively standard 75% layout, an aluminium case, polycarbonate plate, a mix of PBT and PC/ABS keycaps, wireless connectivity with an 8,000 mAh battery, and Epomaker's Creamy Jade linear switches. The official launch price, which was previously unknown, is $109 on Epomaker's site, and the Galaxy75 is available in three colorways: black, purple, and pink.

The Epomaker Bamboo75, on the other hand, is a slightly more interesting affair. It takes a similar, but notably not identical, layout to the Galaxy75 but swaps out the cutesy pastel and minimalist aesthetics of the Galaxy75 for a more nature-inspired design, thanks to a case made of bamboo and keycaps made of a mix of ABS and PBT with wood grain print on the top. Those Cherry profile keycaps also feature a side-printed shine-through legend, which allows the south-facing per-key RGB backlighting to shine through while keeping the consistent wood aesthetic when looking at the keyboard from the top. Like the Galaxy75, the Bamboo75 also packs wireless connectivity, with both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity, and it also has an 8,000 mAh battery, although Epomaker doesn't provide any claims of battery life.

Epomaker Launches Alice40 40% Mechanical Keyboard With Ergonomic Layout and $70 Pricetag

Epomaker has officially unveiled the Alice40 as its latest foray into the world of 40% mechanical keyboards—after the TH40 we reviewed previously and the Luma40 after that—and this time, the brand has gone for yet another unique layout option. As the name suggests, the Alice40 is based on the Alice layout that is commonly recommended to first-time ergonomic keyboard buyers, for its similarity to a regular unibody keyboard, although the Alice40 has a few features that set it apart from other mechanical keyboards in the same $69.99 price bracket.

For starters, the Alice40 modifies the traditional Alice layout with columnar stagger, meaning the columns are vertically offset from one another instead of the rows being horizontally offset. This is meant to make the keys align more appropriately to the natural movement of your fingers while you're typing. Another interesting quirk of the Alice40 is the knob between the two halves of the alpha cluster. As expected from a $69.99 mechanical keyboard, it has a plastic case, but it also has flip-out feet that allow users to adjust the typing angle between 5° and 8.5°. The case also features a gasket mount design, much like the Epomaker TH40, and it is stuffed with sound-damping materials to cut down on echoes and reverberation inside the case.

Windows 11 Will Finally Let You Silence the Sticky Keys Prompt for Good

Pressing Shift five times in a row might soon stop summoning the Sticky Keys prompt on Windows 11. Microsoft is updating the dialogs that ask whether you want to turn on Sticky Keys or Filter Keys, adding a way to tell Windows not to ask again directly from the prompt. The change shows up in the release notes for Beta build 26320.9876 and Experimental build 26340.9882, both released to Windows Insiders on November 6. Right now, getting rid of the prompt for good means going into Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and turning off the keyboard shortcut for each feature. The same Beta build also moves the channel to Windows 11 26H2 and brings Microsoft's rebuilt Windows Search.

This is a small tweak, though it fixes a long-running annoyance for gamers. Plenty of games use Shift to sprint or crouch, which makes it easy to trigger the Sticky Keys shortcut by accident, and the prompt can pull players out of full-screen games. Filter Keys has a similar shortcut that kicks in when the right Shift key is held down for eight seconds. Microsoft's notes don't mention games at all, saying only that it should mean fewer interruptions for people who don't use these features. It looks like another quality-of-life fix from Microsoft's internal push to clean up Windows 11. There's no word on when the updated prompts will reach regular Windows 11 PCs, and Microsoft notes that features in Insider builds may not always ship, so it's reasonable to expect a wait of at least a few weeks.

ATK Launches RS6 V2: Aluminium 65% Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard With Dual LED Positions and 8 kHz Polling

ATK has officially launched the updated version of its RS6 Hall effect gaming keyboard, introducing a number of aesthetics and quality of life updates over the keyboard's first iteration. The RS6 V2 is already available on ATK's website for $109.98 as part of an introductory offer, but it has an official MSRP of $139.98. The RS6 V2 follows a familiar 65% layout seen previously on the RS6, but it swaps out the tray-mount design of the original for a new gasket-mounted design. Additionally, the RS6 V2 is also only available in three colorways, for now: a pinkish Burgundy Red, the neutral Meteorite Gray, and Moonlight Silver.

One of the other major updates, and a feature that is still relatively rare, even in aesthetics-focused gaming keyboards, is the addition of dual-position per-key RGB backlighting, which allows for proper use of keycaps with both regular top shine-through legends and the more niche side-printed shine-through legends. The RS6 V2 ships by default with double-shot PBT keycaps with translucent sides and fully translucent keys on some accent keys, so this RGB lighting setup should play well with the keyboard's default keycaps.

Keychron Reveals Orca Echo Ergonomic Keyboard With Built-In Trackball and Dual Switch Profile Support

Keychron has been busy lately, whether it be with new gaming mouse launches, fancy steampunk keyboard designs, or the recently announced Nape Pro trackball mouse. The latest announcement from Keychron is the Orca Echo, a new split ergonomic keyboard that aims to be beginner-friendly while also providing more features than you can shake a stick at. At a surface level, the Orca Echo is a 49-key split ergonomic keyboard with a moderate columnar stagger layout, a built-in trackball under the right thumb, and a roller under the right thumb. However, in the space above the caps key on the left half of the keyboard and the B key on the right half, the Orca Echo also hides two touch-sensitive scroll pads for additional website and document navigation without having to move your hands off the keyboard.

The Orca Echo also has a few hidden features, like the new Nova socket, which is a new switch socket design that sits partially inside the keyboard's PCB and, Keychron claims, allows for a lower-profile design than traditional MX, Gateron, or Kailh sockets. The Orca Echo will also have magnets built into the bottom of the keyboard's case that allow the two halves to snap together for more convenient travel use cases. There are also fold-out feet on the bottom of each keyboard half for tenting, which is often touted as more ergonomic for the wrists. The Orca Echo will ship with a new Keychron switch with a pin layout similar to Gateron Low-Profile 3.0 switches, making it incompatible with Keychron's Milk POM switches but allowing for both low-profile or full-height MX switches, although swapping between the two switch profiles will require a plate swap, similarly to keyboards like the NuPhy Kick75.

Lofree Unveils Flow Lite 2 Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Lofree, a brand known for its design-forward keyboards and workspace accessories, today announced the launch of the Flow Lite 2 low-profile mechanical keyboard. Building on the success of the original Flow Lite, which has sold over 250,000 units worldwide, Flow Lite 2 introduces more defined keypress feedback, more consistent typing acoustics, and practical everyday features, priced at $109 for the 84-key model and $119 for the 100-key model.

Designed for keyboard enthusiasts, professionals, and everyday typists, the Flow Lite 2 brings Lofree's signature smooth typing experience to everyday users at an accessible price. Key hardware and aesthetic improvements include:

Mchose Launches Updated Ace68 V2 HE Keyboard as $69 Wooting 60HE Alternative

Mchose has officially updated its Ace68, its fan-favorite affordable alternative to the Wooting 60HE. The Ace68 V2 features the same 68-key layout and 60HE-inspired design—replete with a strap and an angled front edge—as the old Ace68, but there are a few additions that make the Ace68 V2 stand out. For one, there is now a dedicated hardware rapid trigger button on the back edge, making it much easier to switch between different tasks, like gaming and work or between different games where different rapid trigger configurations may be beneficial. In addition to the functional changes, there is also a new metal strip along the edge for a bit of visual flavor.

The Mchose hasn't specified a case material for the Ace68 V2, but the weight and price suggest it has a plastic bottom case, although it lacks the flip-out feet of its predecessor. The Ace68 V2 comes in white, black, or pink, with each featuring matching frosted translucent PC keycaps. The pink and white versions are available with Star Ring or Royal Steed magnetic switches, while the black keyboard is restricted to the Royal Steeds. Both switches are linear, but the Star Ring features a box stem and 33 gf actuation force, while the Royal Steed has a cylindrical stem with 35 gf actuation force. The switches are fitted in an aluminium switch plate that is mounted in a tray-mount configuration.

ATK Reveals Affordable RS8 Air HE and Neo Mechanical Aluminium Gaming Keyboards

ATK, the brand behind several affordable high-performance gaming peripherals, has just announced the new RS8 series gaming keyboards in both mechanical and Hall effect flavors. The RS8 Air is a $99.98 Hall effect keyboard that will launch with a discount bringing the price down to $74.89, while the RS8 Neo is a more traditional mechanical keyboard that will have a starting MSRP of $84.98 but will launch at $59.98. Both keyboards have the same TKL layout, which is often considered as striking a good balance between productivity and gaming use cases, and both keyboards will also feature CNC-machined aluminium, gasket-mounted cases and translucent, frosted polycarbonate keycaps for the RGB backlighting to shine through.

Being a Hall effect keyboard, the RS8 Air will feature 8 kHz polling in addition to typical HE features, like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, SOCD, and DKS in addition to the classic key remapping and RGB customization. All of this will happen in ATK's Hub 3.0 software. It also has a hardware switch on the back of the keyboard for on-the-go profile switching without having to remember a keyboard combination or open the software. The RS8 Air will have an aluminium switch plate for a firm feel and accurate actuation detection, and it will have five layers of internal sound treatment to cut out reverberation and echoes that can be common in aluminium keyboards. The RS8 Air will be available in white or black with Lucid Blade or Ice Blade switches or in pink or Lake Green with Ice Blade switches for an extra $10.

OpenMouse Launches Open-Source Customization for Logitech, Razer, Wooting, and SteelSeries Keyboards

Not too long ago, the developers behind OpenMouse, the open-source, community-driven alternative mouse configuration suite, revealed that they were working on supporting keyboard customization alongside the myriad gaming mouse models the suite now supports. As per a recent announcement on the project's Discord server, the latest OpenMouse beta release has added support for a number of gaming keyboards from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and Wooting. Initial support also appears to be in development for Wuque Studio and the Kochi Hummingbird 68.

So far, actual feature support also appears to be limited, and the implementation is very much still in beta, with the app connecting correctly to a Wooting 80HE in a brief test but failing to load the proper keymap and failing to adjust the settings correctly. However, the planned feature set appears to be competitive with most proprietary keyboard customization tools, with HE features like adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, toggle key, mod tap, SOCD, and DKS, all present in addition to robust RGB customization and support for layers and profiles. What is notably absent is the ability to remap keys, however.

Keychron Launches Steampunk Q19 HE 8K Gaming Keyboard

Keychron's ongoing efforts to update its keyboard line-up with new models has produced the Q19 HE 8K as its latest special colorway of the 60% Hall effect PCB first introduced with the Q16 HE 8K and recently made another appearance in the Carbon 60 HE. The Q19 HE uses the exact same Keychron Ultra-Fast Magnetic Lime switches as the Carbon 60 HE and the Q16 HE 8K, but it opts for a CNC-machined 6063 aluminium tray-mount case with steampunk embellishments.

Both the patina on the aluminium case and the keycaps bear the steampunk design, with dye-sublimated keycap legends featuring a serif font and a compass accent key on the escape key. The bottom of the keyboard also has an etched Golden Compass pattern. The keycaps follow a more traditional Cherry profile, instead of Keychron's usual KSA or OSA, and they are made from PBT. The Q19 HE 8K has an FR4 switch plate and plate-mounted stabilizers. It is currently available on Keychron's online store for $254.99.

Corsair Teams Up With Embark Studios for New Arc Raiders Products

Corsair, a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-performance gear and technology for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts, announced today that a fresh cache of Raider-grade gear has surfaced with the Corsair x ARC Raiders collection. Created in a multi-year partnership with Embark Studios, the collection marks the first anniversary of ARC Raiders, the breakout extraction adventure named Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2025, with a limited run of officially licensed controllers, gaming peripherals, and streaming gear across Corsair, SCUF, and Elgato. Every piece wears the game's signature four-stripe colorway, and every purchase unlocks exclusive in-game items to carry back into the field.

"ARC Raiders pulled players into a world where every trip topside is a gamble and every extraction is earned," said Tobias Brinkmann, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals at Corsair. "That spirit runs through this collection. Working with Embark Studios, we brought together the best of Corsair, SCUF, and Elgato, so Raiders have gear that performs under pressure and looks like it was scavenged from the Rust Belt. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the game's first year than by giving its community something built for the next one."

Razer Introduces Reclusa Mini 65% Magnetic Gaming Keyboard

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Reclusa Mini 65%, a wireless hot-swappable magnetic gaming keyboard for enthusiasts who care about how every key sounds, feels, and performs.

Built around the philosophy of "Your Board. Your Rules.", the Reclusa Mini 65% combines magnetic switch precision, refined acoustics, and deep customization in a compact 65% form factor that is rewarding from the very first keystroke.

Vantex V1 Launches as No-Frills Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard with Built-in Trackpad

The Vantex V1 is a new mechanical keyboard project that recently launched on Kickstarter. It takes the columnar stagger ergonomic layout found on split keyboards, like the Corne or Silakka54 and builds it into a more manageable aluminium unibody chassis, replete with a central trackpad, for an all-in-one input solution. The Vantex V1 is available in both a tri-mode wireless (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and USB-C wired) version, starting at $159 on Kickstarter ($159 MSRP) or in a wired version that starts at $129 on Kickstarter ($259 MSRP).

The Vantex V1 has a fairly compact, but adaptable 60% layout, although it uses only 1u or 1.25u keys for all but the long key under the trackpad, which should make it easy to get used to for newcomers to the ergonomic keyboard space, and it has three shortcut keys above the trackpad for custom mouse keys, navigation, macros, or other user-defined functionality. The central trackpad, arguably the star of the show, is a 45 × 45 mm unit with multitouch gestures, and Vantex says that the keyboard has four programmable layers, one of which can easily be set up as a mouse layer, depending on the included firmware, which has yet to be disclosed.

Keychron Launches Carbon Fiber 60% HE Gaming Keyboard

Keychron's exotic keyboard material has led it to wood, resin, ceramic, and even concrete gaming keyboards, but its latest stab at something unique is ironically rather tame, with the brand announcing the Carbon 60 HE 8K, a new 60% gaming keyboard built on the same architecture and basic tray-mounted design as the ceramic Q16 HE 8K, but this time with a forged carbon fiber case and even keycaps. The Keychron Carbon 60 HE 8K is officially available for purchase on Keychron's online store for $234.99.

Unlike a lot of other carbon keyboards, the Carbon 60 HE 8K actually has carbon fiber composite keycaps and a carbon fiber composite plate to match the carbon fiber case. It follows a fairly standard 60% layout, which means no num pad, no function row, no arrow keys, and no navigation cluster—although all of those functions are available in layers or can be added in Keychron Launcher. Keychron says that the carbon fiber construction is 10× more rigid than plastic, owing to its 60% carbon fiber content, and that the keyboard offers a precise, solid typing feel. Carbon fiber plates are known in the custom keyboard realm to provide a sharp, clacky typing signature, with little bounce or cushioning to speak of. The Carbon 60 HE 8K weighs in at 740 g, compared to the slightly larger, aluminium Q2 HE 8K that weighs in at 1,650 g, making the Carbon 60 HE 8K a solid candidate for a mobile gaming setup.

Cherry Launches MX ILLUMA and MX EMERALD REEF Mechanic Keyboard Switches

CHERRY has expanded its range of mechanical keyboard switches with the launch of the MX ILLUMA RED, MX ILLUMA BROWN and MX EMERALD REEF. Designed for different typing preferences, the new switches focus on improved stability, enhanced RGB lighting and quieter operation. The new launches are also included in CHERRY's MX EXPERIENCE BOX 2ND EDITION, which gives users the opportunity to test 10 different MX switches and compare typing feel, responsiveness and sound levels.

Keychron Launches J3 SE QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard With Soft Pastel Color Palette

Deviating from its usual line-up of understated, almost professional keyboard designs that mostly feature matte black and white designs with small splashes of color, Keychron has just released the J3 SE wireless mechanical keyboard in more playful "Pink" and "Pink Blue" colorways. The J3 SE features an easy-to-use 96% layout that makes few compromises to cut down on desk space—even including a full-size zero key in the num pad. Keychron sells the J3 SE on its site for $129.99.

The Keychron J3 SE has an ABS case, in either pastel pink or blue, while the Blue Pink colorway has a mix of white, pink, and blue keycaps, and the Pink colorway features keycaps in white, light pink, and a deeper salmon pink color. Both the Pink and Blue Pink variants of the J3 SE have double-shot PBT keycaps in the MDA profile, and there is a sizeable knob in the top right corner of the keyboard, above the num pad. Another notable feature is the inclusion of north-facing RGB backlighting, which should make it significantly easier to find shine-through keycaps that work properly with the keyboard.

Modder Builds "Slurptop" Cyberdeck with Full Height Keyboard, Swappable Tool Batteries, and Trackball

The concept of a cyberdeck is to customize hardware to better suit your specific needs and use cases, and a modder who goes by "Slurp Burgers" online has taken the concept to something of an extreme, with their take on a laptop, the Slurptop. Unlike many DIY cyberdeck builds, which are based on Raspberry Pi computers, the Slurptop uses a full-fat AMD Ryzen 7 7730U in the motherboard from a GMKtec M5 Ultra mini PC. As a result, it has somewhat better I/O than a traditional laptop, although the mini PC's three front USB Type-C ports were all used to connect the display and peripherals internally.

The modder took the GMKtec innards and built a custom 3D printed shell around them, replete with a columnar-stagger ergonomic keyboard using MX-style switches and SA profile keycaps, a central num pad, and a trackball mounted at the bottom of the cyberdeck. Perhaps more interesting, the modder designed custom circuitry to be able to run the device off a 24 V Kobalt power tool battery, which is swappable in the event that you need an emergency charge. The modder says that, with light productivity use, like word processing, the battery lasts around five hours, but that could be increased with a bigger 8 Ah battery.

Iqunix Prepares EV63 EDG Edition Keyboard

Keyboard maker Iqunix has confirmed that the company is preparing a special EV63 EDG Edition to celebrate one of the most successful esports teams focused on Valorant. The EDG team features a signature black and gold aesthetic, which Iqunix claims underwent five rounds of joint fine-tuning for the EV63 EDG Edition color accents before the final release. This time, the company is introducing Timing Synchronization System (TSS) technology, which will align the keyboard's input processing with the PC's USB polling cycle for more consistent responses, lower latency, and more predictable input. To test this, Iqunix used its HyperCore v3.1 firmware to measure actuation latency and release latency.

According to internal testing, actuation latency is between 0.29-0.30 ms, while release latency hovers in an even tighter range of only 0.26-0.27 ms. In addition to low latency, the EV63 also offers traditional hardware enhancements like 8,000 Hz polling, 16,000 Hz scanning, and 0.01 mm Rapid Trigger Smart Switch Adaptation. Finally, the company leaves room for experimentation with different switches. Smart Switch Adaptation automatically recognizes 99% of mainstream Hall Effect switches, simplifying compatibility and making switch replacement more convenient. Combined with Magnetic X Ultra switches, designed for stronger magnetic flux and improved signal stability, the EV63 is built to deliver responsive input with dependable control.

ATK Launches Bright Yellow Pokémon F1 V3 Ultimate+ Gaming Mouse and RS7 Air HE Keyboard

ATK has officially announced its latest collaboration: Pikachu-flavored versions of its Blazing Sky F1 V3 lightweight wireless gaming mouse and its RS7 Air Hall effect gaming keyboard. Both products have already been announced in China, but the official launch date is October 20, and an international launch appears to be a way out. The collaboration is an official deal with Game Freak and Nintendo, and the F1 V3 Pikachu Edition is listed as having a launch price of CNY 369 ($55 converted), with a regular MSRP of CNY 419 ($63 converted). The RS7 Air Pikachu edition will launch at CNY 399 ($60 converted), with an official MSRP of CNY 449 ($67 converted).

The ATK F1 V3 uses the same small-medium claw and palm grip-optimized shape as the F1 V3 Ultimate+, meaning it measures in at 118.2 × 62.4 × 38.8 mm, but it weighs in at 41 g ±3 g, which is 10% heavier than the Ultimate+, and it has the same PixArt PAW 3955 Master sensor and Nordic 54LM20 MCU as the original mouse. ATK claims that those internals afford the mouse a click latency of just 0.174 ms, and ATK claims a wireless battery life of 300 hours at 1 kHz polling, despite the relatively small 300 mAh battery. The F1 V3 can connect to the PC via both USB Type-C and via 2.4 GHz with up to 8 kHz polling over both connections. The clicks use ATK's custom optical switches, while the scroll wheel uses a TTC Gold encoder.

Combining a space-saving design with IP54-rated protection against dust and water splashes, the K37ID delivers a practical and cost-effective solution for organizations looking to equip individual or multiple workstations.

"The K37ID combines the features businesses need most: full-size functionality in a compact design, IP54 protection against dust and splashes and great value for money", says Gunnar Schreck, Head of Product Management at CHERRY. "It's a smart investment for businesses, with benefits at every workstation and even greater value when equipping multiple workstations."

Epomaker Reveals Galaxy75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Aluminium Case and VIA Support

Epomaker has officially confirmed that it is planning to launch a 75% version of its popular Galaxy series mechanical keyboards, building on the Galaxy100, Galaxy100 Lite, Galaxy80, Galaxy70, and Galaxy68. Although pricing is yet to be confirmed, the keyboard was shown off in a recent Epomaker livestream, and there is already a product page for it on the Epomaker online store, denoting key specs and features. Speculation would put the Galaxy75 somewhere around the $80-100 price point, since the Galaxy68 and Galaxy70 are priced at $99.99 on Epomaker's website and Amazon. According to the site, the Galaxy75 will be available only with Epomaker's Creamy Jade linear switches.

Unlike the Galaxy70 and Galaxy68, the Galaxy75 follows a more traditional, no-frills 75% layout, replete with a key in the F13 position and a full four-key navigation column on the right edge of the keyboard. The construction is also fairly standard, with an aluminium chassis, polycarbonate switch plate, and five layers of sound-damping foam, all of which Epomaker says delivers a "dense thock" sound signature. The case is also gasket mounted, and the keyboard has two aesthetic touches in the sparkle in what appears to be an electrophoretic coating and in the keycap sets. The Galaxy75 will launch in three colors, each of which has a matching Cherry profile keycap set: the black keyboard comes with black and orange dye-sublimated keycaps with cityscape printing, and the lavender and pink versions come with a mix of dye-sublimated solid PBT keycaps with accent keycaps featuring opaque ABS under a clear PC layer with UV-printed legends.

HP EliteBoard G2a Keyboard Computer Launches with Eyewatering Price and AMD Ryzen AI 400 APUs

HP revealed the EliteBoard G2a keyboard PC at CES 2026, promising "next-generation local AI power in a keyboard-sized form factor." Now, 10 months later, HP has released the updated EliteBoard G2a, revealing pricing and some of the keyboard and underlying PC specs, in the process. The G2a features either the updated AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 APU or its smaller Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 counterpart. The cheapest version of the HP EliteBoard G2a, which packs a Ryzen AI 5 Pro, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage, comes in at $3,028, while the SKU with the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 APU paired with 32 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD, comes in at $4,167.

The small form factor PC is capable of drawing 65 W over USB Power Delivery, and the only I/O it features is a single USB4 port and a single USB Type-C 10 Gbps port. The EliteBoard G2a also features built-in dual speakers and comes bundled with an HP 675M wireless mouse. The keyboard component of the mini PC is a membrane keyboard, not mechanical, and it follows what appears to be an 1800 layout, and it has white backlighting. Fortunately, the EliteBoard G2a uses SODIMM RAM, so it's upgradeable in the event that you want 32 GB of RAM but don't want to pay HP's upgrade cost.

Yuzu Launches Customizable KLP Lamé Keycaps for Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboards

Yuzu, the custom keycap maker, has just added the open-source KLP Lamé keycap profile to its portfolio of customizable keycaps, alongside the already available Cherry, KAM, PFF, and PBS profiles. KLP Lamé is a heavily sculpted ergonomic keycap profile designed specifically for use in ergonomic keyboards. Much like Cherry profile, KLP Lamé has different heights and angles for each row, making it easy to orient yourself on your keyboard. As is the case with other Yuzu keycaps, the KLP Lamé keycaps are 1.5 mm PBT with dye-sublimated legends.

Given that ergonomic keyboards, and especially split ergonomic keyboards, rely heavily on customization and layers, it seems as though it would be an ideal use case for a service like Yuzu, since no two split layouts are the same once they have been adapted to each individual user's needs. The keycap editor allows you to pick your own fonts, colors, symbols, and even upload custom images onto keycaps. The KLP Lamé keycaps come in both Choc and MX spacing, covering a variety of available ergonomic mechanical keyboards, but not mixed Choc spacing and MX stems, which excludes users running keyboards like the MoErgo Go60 with Choc V2 switches.

Epomaker Launches HE60: Affordable Wireless Magnetic Gaming Keyboard With 8 kHz Polling

Following the recent launch of the Epomaker HE65 V2, the brand has officially released its latest HE60 V2, which is a new 60% wireless gaming keyboard that targets the affordable gaming keyboard market. The HE60 uses the same 60% layout as the now-famous Wooting 60HE, and it borrows some of the Wooting's design language, to boot. The HE60 also uses a tray-mount ABS case, like the Wooting, and it even has the same carry strap on the left edge of the keyboard case. To mitigate any potential reverberation or unpleasantness from the tray-mount case, Epomaker has filled the case with five layers of sound damping materials—PCB foam, a switch pad, a "sound-enhancing pad," a latex case foam around the switch sockets, and a silicone bottom pad. The HE60 uses an aluminium plate and plat-mounted stabilizers.

The Epomaker HE60 features both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, and it has an 8,000 mAh battery, which should last a good long while, although Epomaker makes no claims about battery life. 8 kHz polling is achievable via 2.4 GHz and the USB Type-C wired connections, and there is a mode switch under the Caps Lock key to switch modes. Being a Hall effect keyboard, the Epomaker HE60 features the typical adjustable actuation, with a range of 0.1-3.3 mm of travel, and features like SOCD and DKS, all of which are customizable in the browser-based Epomaker Hub driver. In its stock form, the HE60 ships with Epomaker Creamy Jade Magnetic linear switches, which are closed-bottom switches that feature 30-55 gf actuation force, a POM stem, PC upper case, and PA66 bottom with a 20 mm spring.
