Epomaker Split 70 Keyboard Review

The Epomaker Split70 keyboard is a compact, split design aimed at saving desk space while maintaining ergonomic benefits for users. The keyboard splits into two halves, connected by a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, creating a row-staggered layout similar to an Alice layout with a traditional orientation. This compact design includes gradient PBT Cherry-profile keycaps in Black Grey and White Blue colorways, a programmable volume knob on the left side, and a 2.4GHz wireless dongle storage port on the back.

However, the keyboard's smaller size requires users to rely on layered shortcut combinations to access missing keys, such as the Tilde (~), Escape key, and Home key, which can be accessed via shortcuts. The keyboard features Epomaker's Wisteria Linear V2 switches with a light bottom-out force, hot-swappable PCB, and a gasket-mounted structure with sound-dampening elements.

It offers Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, and wired connectivity powered by a 3,000mAh battery, lasting more than 10 hours with RGB lights on and up to several hundred hours with them off. The keyboard's tri-mode connectivity allows for independent use of the left side as a dedicated WASD macro pad, providing increased desk space. The keyboard is compatible with VIA configuration application, allowing users to remap keys, assign macros, and customize RGB settings. Priced at $115.99, the Epomaker Split70 keyboard is available on Amazon and directly from Epomaker.
