Epomaker sent me their AK84S keyboard and since I'm more a build/modifications guy and chances are there are already dozens of reviews about the keyboard. I decided to do a modification videos instead. Anyway, this video is somewhat late as I made a mistake in ordering the PCB/plate foam for the build . :( For some reason I ordering a 87 keys PCB foam which is actually for a TKL keyboard. So I had to reorder and wait for the correct one. :(
Also featured in the video is Epomaker's Silicone keycaps.
Never the less, hope you enjoy this mod and IMHO, the keyboard sounded awesome after the mods.
