They are smooth to the touch and offer a comfortable typing experience, and the printing on the legends are flawless with no noticeable bleeding or misalignment in the text at all. The Cherry profile keycaps are made from high-quality dye sublimation PBT and are reasonably thick to produce a deep sound signature (based on the configuration of the keyboard, of course). Of course, you can always swap the keycaps out for third-party ones with a design of choosing. However, if you are not a fan of the keycaps then you are pretty much out of luck as the keyboard only comes in this flavor. While I would never personally select such a colorway, the keycaps are indeed pretty to look at and have a calming effect whenever you approach your desk. The color scheme of purple, white and pink is designed after the Bauhinia flower, which the company says exudes “a sense of elegance and tranquility”, and you know what, sure, yeah I believe that. The RGB effects are accentuated further by Epomaker’s brand new Bauhinia keycaps. You can also change the colors (FN+ =+), change their direction (FN + _), reduce/increase the brightness (FN + up or down arrow keys), or its speed (FN + left or right arrow keys). There are plenty of RGB effects to choose from as well, and you can shift through them using the Epomaker software, or do it from the keyboard itself using the FN + \ key combinations. The RGB gives a terrific underglow effect that almost makes it feel like the keycaps are floating in a sea of colors, and it’s one of the better implementations I have seen on a keyboard. If there is one thing the EP84 Plus does right are the RGB effects, which just might be its main draw. The keyboard feels sturdy though, and despite using relatively light materials, it still weighs in around 0.8kgs which is hefty enough to feel premium in the hands, but light enough to carry it around in your backpack. However, I do wish that even budget options move away from steel plates and start to implement a polycarbonate or even an aluminum plate as they sound much better in comparison. The keyboard features an ABS plastic bottom case, with a steel plate for the switches - a pretty standard affair for keyboards in this price category. While I personally prefer a more ‘exploded’ 75% form factor for comfort, this style is great for those who want to save deskspace but don’t want to lose out on functionality. The Epomaker EP84 Plus is a ‘compact’ 75% keyboard, which just means that while it still retains the F-row keys, arrow keys, and full row of additional function keys (like Printsc, Home, End, Delete, etc), it’s just squeezed into a form factor that might be only slightly larger than a 65% keyboard. Epomaker EP84 Plus - Design, Features and Keycaps Besides the keyboard, you are given a 2-in1 keycap and switch puller, a braided white cable, and three extra switches based on your configuration choice. The box contents of the Epomaker EP84 Plus are your standard affair.
