EPOMAKER Mini Cat 64 60% - Review

The EPOMAKER Mini Cat 64 is a 60% hot-swappable VIA programmable RGB wired mechanical gaming DIY keyboard kit with refinedly tuned stabilizers and a stacked acrylic case that is compatible with both Windows and Mac. As a professional product reviewer, I had the pleasure of testing this keyboard and writing a review.

Firstly, let's talk about the 60% hot-swappable mechanical DIY keyboard kit. It's designed with gamers and DIYers in mind, and its compact 60% layout saves precious desktop space, giving you more room for your mouse. It also features hot-swappable sockets, which allows you to change both 3 and 5-pin switches at your convenience without having trouble in soldering.

The keyboard is also pleasantly programmable with VIA programming software, allowing users to remap the keys without reflashing the firmware. This feature is particularly useful for users who are not used to the compact layout as remapping helps them customize the keyboard to their preference. One can save changes directly on the board as well as easily switch between various layouts. The compatibility with VIA programming software opens up a realm of customization possibilities for the user.

Furthermore, the Mini Cat 64 comes with refinedly tuned stabilizers that prevent rattling sounds when typing on large keys like spacebars and modifiers. This effort ensures a premium, stable typing experience, and gives DIY enthusiasts another reason to modify the stabilizers further to suit their preferences.

The stacked acrylic case casing gives this keyboard an elegant and modern look. Also, the RGB backlights add to the aesthetic and elevate the user experience by being very bright and vibrant. Acrylic based keyboards usually offer better lighting experiences, and the addition of LEDs and RGB modules enhances the backlighting experience further. The lights go beyond the normal sockets, illuminating the sides of the keyboard and creating a visible environment, even under low light.

Despite being a DIY kit, the Mini Cat 64 has a sturdy built and is easy to assemble and operate. Its Type-C interface offers a fast and stable connection. It is also compatible with both Windows and Mac, making it versatile and accessible to all users.

In testing this keyboard, I found that it was a joy to type on, with a smooth mechanical feel and strong tactile feedback. The compact size may not be for everyone, but it's a great addition for those who need extra desk space or prefer a smaller keyboard. The programming software is user-friendly and makes customization a breeze. Additionally, the RGB backlights are pleasant to look at and create a unique typing experience. The build quality is robust, and the Type-C interface adds to its efficiency.

In summary, the EPOMAKER Mini Cat 64 60% Hot Swappable VIA Programmable RGB Wired Mechanical Gaming DIY Keyboard Kit with Refinedly Tuned Stabilizers, Stacked Acrylic Case, and the compatibility with OS on both Windows and Mac is an excellent choice for gamers and DIY enthusiasts. It provides numerous customization options and offers an elegant design to elevate your setup.
