I just picked up sea salt silent switches to modify my Keychron V! (my first ever mechanical keyboard) and they're amazing. I love the Gateron Brown switches that came with my Keychron, but they are just a tad bit too loud for the office at work. I LOVE the Sea Salt Silent switches! I seriously recommend them to anyone that wants silent switches.
It's kind of strange they are only offering it in the one colorway. At least currently. Given it's an all plastic board it sure seems like molding it in a bunch of colors would be simpler. But all the same either of the two in house options starting at 106 is pretty excellent value. The keycaps out of the box are nice, the in house switches are pretty nice. The fact these guys are offering complete inhouse boards now gives them that same edge that Akko, and Keychron had enjoyed for years. Keychrons moved away from it's in house switch (to my understanding Gateron made the in house switch for them and basically just offered to start selling them the gateron pro's for the same money so they didn't have to continue to make essentially the same switch at two different price points).
I've been into keyboards so long, I went so deep into mechanical switches that I came back out the other side appreciating a quiet keyboard. Give me those silent switches all day. I'm beyond over loud ass switches.
I really like the styling of this keyboard, but the knob is just turn me off honestly. I wish we could just change the knob or just not have the knob at all. I would definitely change the keycaps with something like GMK 9009 to make it even more retro because I also hate the fonts of it.
I've been looking for a silent, wireless gaming keyboard and this falls right into that! It's crazy how hard it is to find that combination elsewhere.. the beautiful retro style is a bonus, but i wish the RGB would shine through the letters..
@@shinejnn2 but I already like the ones they come with, I just wish they were shine through. Besides, it's really hard to find specifically custom shine through keycaps that fit the keyboard exactly, especially since I live in a country without Amazon or the likes 😔 I hope the backlight is enough to see the letters at night
@@toastedclosure2770 ooh I see, well I guess it will be fine as long as you use it under some light, for me I always turn my light during pc session soo yeah
Mine arrived this weekend - the display screen is a little gimmicky but I love the sound profile. I needed a keyboard for work with a number pad and I really liked my last epomaker, so I bought another ♥️
@@MsNikkiCrucio Nice! My next step is trying new keycaps - I bought the keygeak candy set ( gonna mix offset them with off white caps so it’s not too busy). If they don’t look good, I have another keyboard I can use them on🤞
How do the Sea Salt Silent switches here compare to the AKKO V3 Fairy Silent Switches? Been looking at both options abd trying to figure out which is quieter.
Thank for the review. I am looking at purchasing one off Amazon. And I am torn between switches. I like the sounds of the flamingo switch and the budgerigar switch. But on Amazon my choice is the Flamingo and the Dawn Pink switch. Is the Dawn Pink the budgerigar? Also, if I get the flamingo switch with MOA keycaps, will that help sound?
Is the knob removable? I really love the keyboard but like someone else mentioned it really is turning me about as I don’t think it fits the rest of the board.
Nice video ! But I really miss the videos were you modify keyboards... I made my channel and you was one of my inspirations, please bring the old videos back !
Got this a few days ago. LOVE the typing experience on it. The sea salt silent switches are very quiet. Not totally quiet, but close. The extra screen is very nice, but one thing to note is that if you're an American, they go with celsius/date and time in a European format. Since America is still stuck on fahrenheit that's kinda a bummer.
im thinking of getting salt silent cause i love thoccy switches and marbly sounded ones, could you tell me if its silent for playing at night but still has a smooth feel when you click and has some click sound to it (maybe it sounds different irl compared to the mic he uses)
Love the review. I have been eyeing this one. I have the TH96 (6000mAh) and the battery is eh, so-so - it lasts a couple of days with constant RBG/wireless. It would be nice if the battery proved to last longer in this....
How were you able to get the entire screen to be an image? on mine, im only able to get the image in the lower right with the date/time/battery/etc display on the sides
I'm trying to find a keyboard thats dead silent and i thought this would be the one, but it still makes sounds when you type. I've seen people mod keyboard but i cant do that. So is there no keyboard thats actually dead silent you can buy from companies?
honestly i like this keyboard i wanna use the numb pads again i mean its been a long time i never use my num pad but i know if i got i have one im gonna be using it more since im still use to it. but besides being a gamer its useless for me and takes up space... but im having a debate on whether i should switch to "full size" or stick with 75 percent keyboard... this keyboard is more a compact thats why i want to get it doesnt take that much space and also my desk is too small. right now im using the rk 84 and modded myself and one thing i like about this keyboard is that it has a 2.4ghz bluetooth and can connect to multiple devices. but another good thing about this keyboard that should be on the rt100 is the 2 usb extra slot for connecting ur mouse and headset if u have a usb headset. i get that they add the mini display but having those 2 usb slot is good too. i kept changing my mind if i should replace it because i need those 2 usb slot and if i can still game with a "full size" or a 1800 compact keyboard
You got a new follower! Dude I was talking crab before watching this review sucks like many others, but I was WRONG! Thank you for reviewing this one, I’m getting one soon! …or can you donate me that one? 😅 I’m starting my own business ok? 😅
it will work the reviewers never really do their job. To use the CPU % you need to click the sync button in the software, but in order to use the sync button you have to launch the software in administrator mode.
I've noted the same, so many Epomaker boards lately. I mean, I cannot say about board quality, but so many people always say that EPomaker gets Akko stuff, renames it and voilà, 2x the price. Also, the shipping is stupidly expensive, and considering that other brands/stores have cheaper options in that regard, well... Pfff
I love the little monitor, but must say it is pretty terrible. I tried everything I could and I can only get the picture to work. Date/Time and sensors do not work! If you have a trick on how to get them working I would be grateful. I still 1000% recommend this board. Crazy what you get for the price. Also by tuning do you mean lubing the stabs?
Honestly! I hate the sound of this keyboard. The varmilo Minilo 75's i think sound better and are quieter with the Kailh prestige silent switches. I actually type slower with this keyboard. Really what sold me on buying this is the little tv screen. Otherwise I prefer varmilo. Better feeling keyboard. Keys feel better. Product feels more premium and heavier. This keyboard you gotta hit hard for the keys to register. It's a long way down before it bottoms out. I also have iquinox low profile keyboard and that's the best board I've typed on so far. Even hit a new record of 100 wpm on QWERTY.
If you're gonna buy this keyboard because it has a little screen - don't. I fell for it, and it doesn't even work. I've tried everything, every fix I've found online but nothing, just black screen. The software is the worst I've ever tried, slow, crashes, half the stuff doesn't work. The keyboard itself is ok, it's just annoying that its main selling point is garbage.
it doesnt matter if they pay you to say something posetive or not, you gonna be posetive cuz you know they will come back and sponsore you again even just the possebility is enough to not talk smack about them
Be honest, you wouldn't give a negative review to someone paying you. Also Holy shit dude you just compared a cheap plastic know to a rolls. Ok I'm done with this review
Thank you for the sound test, that was perfect!

Thank you for a great review! Especially, for the sound comparison between all switches. Very helpful. Just bought my RT100 with silent switches!
ive heard they break easily. update?
The sea salt silent switches sounds great for work.. this keyboard looks so similar to my Vendex 500t typewriter. I love it
This is so beautiful just wish we could have a 75% version of this with different colors and DIY option...
there are different colors now but still no 75%
I got mine today. I went with your recommendation of flamingo switches and so far I’m loving the feel and sound of it.
can the rgbs be turned off or are they always on?
Numpad + knob + cute retro display 😮. I love this
Update: As soon as I saw this video, I purchased this! I love it so much.
How has it been?? I game but I also use a numpad for work! Would love to know your thoughts so far
bro the new lighting is amazing
I've hear silent switches before, but not these ones...
Thanks for the great vid as always!

Now 6
The budgie switches are my absolute favorites but I saw they released wisterias. Would love a budgie vs tactile wisteria comparison vid 🥹
I've been into keyboards so long, I went so deep into mechanical switches that I came back out the other side appreciating a quiet keyboard. Give me those silent switches all day. I'm beyond over loud ass switches.
Can you do a sound test with the gateron pros too?

If it’s a regular rotary knob you can change it
would change the knob to a more brownish color
it turns you off? are you buying it for your sexual desires?
I know right! Why they didn’t blend it with the colour scheme of the rest of the board 😂 I don’t know… somebody got lazy fam 🫤
I've been looking for a silent, wireless gaming keyboard and this falls right into that! It's crazy how hard it is to find that combination elsewhere.. the beautiful retro style is a bonus, but i wish the RGB would shine through the letters..
Just buy cheap custom keycaps replace them, easy peasy solution

Do you know if it supports Via/QMK?
i bought one as well and I love it. I swapped the switches to Akko Wine Reds. Chefs kiss

Is the RGB completly customizable? Or can you just switch through the presented options
just bought some of these silent sea salts to put on an all white gmmk pro build on PC looking forward to it!
How did it go?
How do u not include the gateron pro yellows on the sound test

It's not hot swappable.
But can I get bongo cat on the display?
Would you recommend this for gaming?
Nice video ! But I really miss the videos were you modify keyboards... I made my channel and you was one of my inspirations, please bring the old videos back !
What about the wisterias that are options for the new colors?
I have a question,can you put a bongo cat on the Display of this keeb
Would you recommend the yellow gateron switches for gaming??
How did you take off the plate? Does it have screws? I can’t find them. Or do you pop it off with a card?

@@fluxpika Very silent. There's a slight click depending on your keycaps/keyboard.
@@LuccaRPG oh okay is the click more amplified compared to its realistic sound in the video do you reckon?
European format? More like, the rest of the world's format.
@@Julian-hq9hm Ya got me there. ;)
Can any one a good keyboard which is under $50
Thinking to get a royal kludge rk61 or a dragon k530 pro or rk68

No dead silent is impossible lol
@SchlumplesSchlumolomus-u9u figured that out a few months ago
I like the fact you know how Rolls Royce keeps their logo upright
can you make a video about the best ISO (QWERTY) cherry profile keycaps?
Hey consumer tech, can you make a full review of the redragon fizz k617
can you turn the rgb off entirely?
Rainbow, single colour or off. 👍🏽

REMEMBER! flamingo switch case will cover the LED and tint light to flamingo - SO - ALL COLORS shifted and NO WHITE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Great video.👌
Budgerigars sounds pretty nice.
damn i really want that fullscreen gif option...
Got one with flamingos and wow am i not disappointed
Cool board sounds good probably throw matcha keycaps on it though
You got a new follower!
Dude I was talking crab before watching this review sucks like many others, but I was WRONG! Thank you for reviewing this one, I’m getting one soon!
…or can you donate me that one? 😅 I’m starting my own business ok? 😅
i would instantly buy this if it was any other color scheme
They have 7 color schemes
Every review the cpu temps areal 0%. Is this fake and doesn't work?
it will work the reviewers never really do their job. To use the CPU % you need to click the sync button in the software, but in order to use the sync button you have to launch the software in administrator mode.
Not my color scheme but the keyboard looks good enough.
Did epomaker buy your channel?

to get the date to work you have to change the date in windows to yyyy/mm/dd then sync
I prefer that style of cable. That's a knockoff chubby cable

cant wait to replace my crusty dusty old budget ass logitech with one of these lmao
I always wonder why some youtubers yell at us through the mic 😅
I can't hear what the keyboard sounds like because you keep yapping
so pronouncing every word isn’t really an option here? what in the jojo siwa hell is this

Not really digging the colorway at all.
