I recently started getting into smaller custom keyboards, so when I came across this deal, I had to write it up. The brand is Epomaker and the model is their GK75 Lite, which features a 75% design (has 75% the keys of a normal keyboard), Gatreon optical switches, a volume knob, and right now it’s on sale for just $30.

Everything you need to know:
- Has a USB-C connection and is compatible with both macOS and Windows
- Comes with Gateron Optical brown switches—brown switches are typically middle ground, so they have tactile feedback but aren’t super loud
- Features hot swappable terminals, meaning you can install optical switches directly without soldering
- Note that optical switches and MX switches are not interchangeable, so something to keep in mind if you have MX switches you wanted to use
- You can make macros and remap the keys, including the volume knob, and you can save your settings into the built-in flash memory
- Includes USB-C cable, various colored key caps if you wanted to swap them, and a key-puller
- This model has a 4.5 star Amazon rating on nearly 500 reviews
- There is no warranty mentioned and Epomaker has a spotty customer service record, but for just $30, it’s easily worth the gamble
