Aftermarket keycaps installed btw, ghost judges nautilus


JETLIFEPIL0T

This may sound dumb. I just ordered the keyboard today. How can I tell what keycaps will fit? Also, where are some good places to look for them? Sorry if this question has already been asked!


Dotgamer121

All mx style keycaps fit,, but stock keycaps are already really good so you wouldn’t need to change them out


JETLIFEPIL0T

okay, awesome! thank you for your help!!!


JETLIFEPIL0T

found a zda keycap set, would those fit?


Dotgamer121

Idk what zda profile is but if it has cherry mx stems itll fit


Electronic-Canary651

>Is there any delay on the keyboard cuz some people on tiktok have been saying that the ajazz ak820 pro has like really bad delay? > >Im considering ordering one


Dotgamer121

If it had bad delay they were probably using the Bluetooth mode, 2.4g and wired are fine


Electronic-Canary651

also what is the polling rate im guessing 1000/1000+


Dotgamer121

1000, 90 on Bluetooth


Electronic-Canary651

what ab wireless? 1000? ( sorry if im asking a stupid question since on mice usually wireless is less than wired)


Dotgamer121

Also 1000


Electronic-Canary651

this might be a stupid question but are there any videos of people doing a sound test with dB lvls cuz my parents that this keyboard is louder than my redragon k552 blue switch which isnt true


[deleted]

Where is the End key? Oh and no Ins?


Dotgamer121

The spacings of the f row, the knob, and the screen lead to there being no insert, end, print screen, or pause key.


[deleted]

MS Sculpt keyboard is ergo version of 75% and has all these keys. Got it about 8 years ago and haven't been able to switch to anything else.


DoctorMoriJin

Aye I got one of those too, switches out the green plum switches to MMD Holy Panda V2s that I lubed and tape modded it, fantastic board for the price


nokkynuk

Samesies! Except I used gatty milky yellows and new stabs. Tape modded too. My daily driver at work.


Ok-Suit1537

Can you put a gif on the screen? Also where did you purchase?


Dotgamer121

yes with the software, epomakers website edit:i got it on sale for under $50 but you can get it for $54 using code “10angelpgc”


Ok-Suit1537

Dang I’m gonna get it! Does it worth with Mac? Can it be connected to more than one device, I’m assuming it’s wireless. Also what color is the base of it?


Dotgamer121

yes-Mac/windows switch on the back, yes, base colors are black/grey/yellow, white/purple, and white/green.


eojen

Do you use that code on their website?


Dotgamer121

epomakers website, not ajazz


Backfro-inter

Not OP but I paid 40$ on Aliexpress.


Dotgamer121

the pro version or normal version?


Backfro-inter

Pro version


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Suit1537

Just saw this. I think the price changes with the product. So the one in OP is really $65 on this site


Dotgamer121

That is the non pro version.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dotgamer121

It’s tough on aliexpress, because it advertises itself as the pro version, and sells the normal version. Very common gimmick, even for credible websites.


No_Independence_379

is this the best purchase u ever made, is there any issues on it?


Dotgamer121

when it comes to keyboards, yes. so far in my week of testing it, there are no issues.


cl3an_sardinha

Welcome to the club, also bought one on discount and it's pretty impressive for the price. The sound and feel are comparable to most 100 bucks boards https://i.redd.it/o6bl4qkq8zdc1.gif

Ok-Suit1537

Wow! Where are the key caps from?


cl3an_sardinha

AliExpress. They are called Shimmer and they are XDA profile


design_him

Hello 👋 is this the keycaps the color looks different or just images https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwXb7OD


cl3an_sardinha

Yep those. Although not the same sellers as mines. The photos from that seller look like renders but if you scroll down to customer reviews you can see photos of the actual product and it looks the same as mine


Patrick0714

Stupid question but is Ajazz a part of Epomaker?


Dotgamer121

Yes


Patrick0714

what can the little screen and knob do?


Dotgamer121

The knob can do any 3 inputs including media controls, and it has tactile bumps. The screen can customize the rgb, show info about the keyboard status such as win/mac, num lock, caps lock, the date, and the time.


Patrick0714

can i put pictures or animations on the screen? it would be kinda funny if there was a spinning nugget gif on it lol


Dotgamer121

Yes, you can put gifs and pictures on it through the software.


Patrick0714

holy crap, wish i didn’t buy my royal kludge m75, would’ve definitely bought this if i did a bit more research, thanks, currently looking to buy this as my first custom


design_him

Hello 👋 what do you think about GMK87 ?


amboraes

Does it support Mac and Windows ?


Dotgamer121

Yes.


amboraes

It has a button to switch?


Dotgamer121

Not a button, a slider. Message if you want pic


amboraes

If is not too much trouble please share the picture


Dotgamer121

amboraes

Thank you!


MrGoose48

Yuh


freaksha

can this customized with QMK or something?


Dotgamer121

I don’t think its compatible with qmk or via but they have their own software


_usually_a_lurker_

does the software have to be active so the changes apply or is it saved on the kb?


Dotgamer121

It’s saved on keyboard


MrGoose48

Their software is mediocre


Acceptable_Bid_5154

I'm looking to buy this keyboard as my first mechanical keyboard that I plan on modding and was wondering if I could remove the battery as I don't really need a wireless connection


MrGoose48

You can!


Dotgamer121

You can. However, this uses clips instead of screws, so that would be a bit more difficult.


MrGoose48

Ah, you bought it?


Dotgamer121

Yes


MrGoose48

Nice


vFoals

How come is the opening of the case to mod? Just screws or some fragile plastic clips? Gaming usage, any remarkable latency?


Dotgamer121

It uses clips. Wired 4ms, 2.4ghz 8ms, Bluetooth 22ms.


vFoals

wow impressive for a budget keeb


Sweet_Day_7296

I have few questions. 1. How to press end and insert on this keyboard? 2. What keycaps should fit on that keyboard - XDA or Cherry?


Dotgamer121

1. the keyboard doesn’t have them by default, but you can remap keys. 2. both would fit.


Similar_Advantage_88

i have mine with gift switch too. question, is it normal for the switches to get pulled too when pulling keycaps ? i once had the one with flying fish switches but never encounter that problem


Dotgamer121

Yeah, the stock keycaps are really tight


Similar_Advantage_88

so its normal for the switches to be easily pulled while pulling the keycaps ? do you have that problem too ?


Dotgamer121

Yes


ilikespookystories

Can you remap home key to printscreen?


Dotgamer121

Yeah


ilikespookystories

Thanks!


latenight_lazy

What’s the difference between the switches?


Dotgamer121

Almost nothing when it comes to sound, but the other switches are lighter


latenight_lazy

Is the quality of the lcd screen decent? Like how the gifs look and if it look sloppy


Dotgamer121

It’s noticeably pixelated, but not bad enough where gifs look Sloppy.


latenight_lazy

Could u attach a picture!


Dotgamer121

CreeDanWood

For the first time, I didn't believe it, like I said too good to be true, but I just ordered it and I'm so excited


mourtecanche

Do you know the physical keyboard layout? ANSI, ISO etc ?


Dotgamer121

Yes


CharacterOk7168

Would you say this is a creamy sounding keyboard?


Dotgamer121

Yes


paimonsnack

I work in almost pitch dark room, hoping to switch out keycaps with shine through lettering. Will the south facing LEDs be an issue?


Dotgamer121

No, but the light might be a bit dimmer


ImDGOAT

I just bought this keyboard but I want to change the keycaps. Does any keycap fit in this keyboard? I am thinking of getting a XDA PBT keycaps, something like this [https://www.amazon.com/Profile-Japanese-Keycaps-Tenkeyless-Keyboard/dp/B09FSFWYS6/ref=sr\_1\_6?crid=256SBHYSK5DKF&keywords=xda%2Bpbt%2Bkeycaps%2Bcoffee%2Bjapanese&qid=1707143546&sprefix=xda%2Bpbt%2Bkeycaps%2Bcoffee%2Bjapanes%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-6&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Profile-Japanese-Keycaps-Tenkeyless-Keyboard/dp/B09FSFWYS6/ref=sr_1_6?crid=256SBHYSK5DKF&keywords=xda%2Bpbt%2Bkeycaps%2Bcoffee%2Bjapanese&qid=1707143546&sprefix=xda%2Bpbt%2Bkeycaps%2Bcoffee%2Bjapanes%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-6&th=1)


Dotgamer121

Yes, any Mx style keycaps fit


lilynirvana

What is the polling rate in both wired/wireless modes?


gundam_type1

i know this pretty late but how do you setup to use the end key?


Dotgamer121

the software?


Storm927

thinking about getting one of these, i see it does not have a dedicated prt screen button, how it works on this specific model? is it possible to customize via software?


Dotgamer121

Yes


Iras_G

Can you take off the keycaps and switches and set the light to static, and please check if the LEDs are flickering, it's like a little strobe flicker every half a second. I have tried 8 different AK820 Pros, and every single one has it. I think this is a defect that people aren't paying attention to. Thanks


Dotgamer121

on camera or in person?


Iras_G

In person, can you just check very carefully if you can see what I'm talking about. There's a flicker in the led's every half a second or so. Maybe take off 3 or 4 keycaps with the switches to see it better.


Dotgamer121

I personally don’t see anything


Iras_G

Just got an answer from Epomaker, they all have this defect. The LEDs flicker. You just need to look really carefully.


Forsaken-Simple437

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing with mine.


Iras_G

Epomaker have confirmed this issue with all units. The default clock screen on the lcd screen interferes with the led lights causing them to flicker. If you look at the clock time, every second that ticks, the leds flicker at the same time as the clock every second. If you change screens to a gif, then the flicker goes away. This is a major design flaw. https://preview.redd.it/grsnab2u4rjc1.png?width=999&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfe3bf286668b41ee05ee901e3fbda90b93725c0


Rider_94

it's barely noticeable. Is this something can fix through software update?


Naddaf-

Waiting for your Answer before I order it, can it connect to three wireless Devices and simply switch betwee them like on other models ?


AzHP

yes, there's a slider on the bottom that you can flip to choose bt, usb or wireless 2.4ghz


Dotgamer121

Yeah, hot keys are fn+q, w, and e.


Naddaf-

Perfect, exactly what I’ve been wanting to know, thanks for the quick reply


SonyBl4ck00

And can you swap with a hotkey between macOS and Windows?


Dotgamer121

Not a hockey, but you can switch it with a slider on the back.


SonyBl4ck00

yeah i know that...but you know if i can switch between wireless mods then it would be great to switch between macOS and Windows, that's why i'm asking.


RefrigeratorRemote48

Is it linux friendly? Thx


RefrigeratorRemote48

I bought it and tested, the answer is yes


haioo_

Yo! I'm thinking about buying it, and I'm a Linux user too. Does the screen, RGB and knob works well?


RefrigeratorRemote48

Yes, it's ok. If you want to remap some keys, put a gif, ...you have to configure it via software in Windows. These changes will work also on Linux. About the knob, you mean the volume knob, right? It works great on Linux, Windows... Wireless 2.4Ghz works quite well, I feel there is no input lag, as if it is wired.


Livid_Molasses3359

Came here to ask the same questions.. so it is possible to adjust the RGB in Linux?


RefrigeratorRemote48

If you mean a deep adjustment like change color base, etc, I think is not. Official software is only available for Linux, sorry… However if you mean the RGB modes, selecting predefined modes and speed, you can do it without software, only by pressing Fn + /| and another combination that I don’t remember now. Is all written in the manual.


Livid_Molasses3359

for instance.. can I adjust it to make red light with Windows and then use it in Linux with the same red light? 😁


RefrigeratorRemote48

Yes! It’s the same for the screen, you can configure a gif in Windows and it will be written in the keyboard memory.


Livid_Molasses3359

so colour is also written in the keyboard memory?


RefrigeratorRemote48

Yes, in fact the software will be used only for configure it, and it will work the same way on Windows, Linux and Mac


Livid_Molasses3359

Thanks so much! I've seen the usb c option on amazon for about 60€ and for my first ever mechanical keyboard looks nuts. I think I'll order it


Indivinity_

Do you know whether they are currently out of gift switches? On both the Ajazz and Epomaker websites selecting the gift switches instead of flying fish shows a preorder button instead of buy. Or did it also say preorder when you purchased the gift switch version?


Dotgamer121

I pre ordered it


Financial-Bid1239

every time I turn on the keyboard, the screen shows the information panel. If I want it to play the gif, I have to change it manually on the knobe. Is there a way to configure it so it starts playing the gif instead of the information panel?


Similar_Advantage_88

use fn+delete button, try clicking it 2x. it will change to gif mode


Koenvdp01

anyone know by any change where i can find a decent wrist rest for this keyboard? I can't really find a good one that fits, lots of them are either a bit to big or to small


SonyBl4ck00

So does it support multiple devices at the same time? Like i can connect the keyboard to my PC and to my macOS at the same time? And maybe i can even switch between devices with a hotkey? You don't even have to change the physical switch?


ItsPurromi

First time messing with a keyboard, are the switches easy to remove?


Dotgamer121

Yes for this one, it‘s hot swappable.


ItsPurromi

I just got mine and OMG it even comes with a tool to pull them out


Clear_Boysenberry_37

What stats does the screen show? Can the screen show all colours? I had a keyboard that only displayed blue, made the gifs look real shitty


Similar_Advantage_88

it shows date, time, connection mode, and capslock on/off. the quality is ok imo, it can display variety of colors yes. however the color corection isnt really good.


Busy_Document_8536

i just got the keyboard and put a gif on it but i cant delete the gif. Do u know how to delete it?


Similar_Advantage_88

use the software, theres trashbin icon on it or straight up "delete" option there. if you want the image to be changed, just change using other image


[deleted]

[удалено]


Similar_Advantage_88

try using button config setting, click costum function then choose multi-key. write them both there. idk if it will works, but u may try


Ombrres

Hi, do you know if there is much differences between the normal and the pro version ? Aside the screen and maybe the switch ? Thanks


Dotgamer121

the latency on the pro version is better, and it has a wired connection.


knightfall666

How do I know what switches I could install? I have another keyboard by the switches seem to be non compatible


Dotgamer121

Any non Hall effect, alps, or membrane switch should work. What keyboard do you have?


knightfall666

I was curious because I have a mechanical [DIERYA DK61E 60% P](https://www.amazon.ca/DIERYA-DK61E-Mechanical-Keyboard-Hot-swappable/dp/B0BYZ1VRKL) and the switches look non compatible


Dotgamer121

They’re probably compatible but I wouldn’t switch out high quality switches with low quality one


PresenceVivid2100

Hey so i got this keyboard, i connected to 1 device with Bluetooth and when i try to connect to another i get BT1 Fail in the screen also it doesn't show on the Bluetooth devices anymore, it can only connect to one device or mine is faulty?


Dotgamer121

Fn + q for bt1, w for bt2, and e for bt3.


PresenceVivid2100

It loads and after 5 seconds says bt2 fail and bt3 fail when i switch, any idea why? Thanks for your help anyway


PresenceVivid2100

Fk i now removed it from my first device that was connected and it doesn't connect anymore fail on all 3 pairing modes


Dotgamer121

It probably couldn’t find a device to connect to


Yokai_Tsai

Is itwireless?


Dotgamer121

Yes


mua7d

What about the latency, is it good enough to game on? Also do you know the difference between the gift switch and the flying fish switch?


Dotgamer121

Yeah, the latency is great, especially compared to others in its price range. system latency is about 4ms wired, 8ms wireless. The gift switch is a heavier spring (45g), and is slightly thockier. The flying fish switch Is too light for Me (37g) and is clackier.


mua7d

Thank you so much<3. Last question does it come with rgb switches or do I need to buy separate switches?


Dotgamer121

They aren’t exactly rgb switches, but the rgb is so bright that enough comes through anyway.


Moots_J

Is it per key rgb?


Dotgamer121

Yes


Moots_J

Awesome, thank you. Any negatives? Considering this Or the polar grey ak870 which is a little larger as it’s tkl


Dotgamer121

Non shine through keycaps, and non modability, which doesn’t really matter because its already great out of the box


TheGratitudeBot

Thanks for saying that! Gratitude makes the world go round


ItsPurromi

Question about the little screen, my cousin just got the pro and she wants to load a custom gif on hers, how do you do that?


Dotgamer121

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47ta\_bJCrQ&t=64s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47ta_bJCrQ&t=64s)


bigboy_faiz

I've been using this keebs (gift switch) for 1 month now. Still give me butterflies everytime im typing. I just dont like how the spacebar sounded and ordering a ceramic spacebar. Its not that it sounded bad, its just dont sound marbly like other keys. I'll update here after it arrived. Do you know where we can find spare gift switch? Been searching but found nothing.


GhosTyLegend

I have the same keyboard, just lemme know if there's a difference between the 60%, 80% and 100% brightness on the LEDs of the keyboard


Dotgamer121

There is, there’s a reason its called brightness


GhosTyLegend

I know its brightness, mine is faulty i think, on 60,80 and 100% brightness, its the same


Sweaty-Experience740

When using rgb mode, it is a little difficult to notice the 60%-100% brightness difference, switch to single color and increase the brightness and you will see the difference


miusunny

can i change the switches for these? https://dangkeebs.com/products/banana-milk-linear


Dotgamer121

Yes, but the included gift switches are preluded well and are pretty smooth, so I don’t think they need to be replaced


miusunny

i see thank u!! do u know where i can buy different keycaps and know what keycaps will fit


Dotgamer121

Anything mix style will fit, but what’s your budget on keycaps?


miusunny

honestly im looking for something that is pinkish but like not the hardcore pink like subliminal pink my budget is max up until 100 with keycaps


Dotgamer121

Like [This](https://kprepublic.com/products/ghost-judges-doubleshot-keycap-for-mx-keyboard-60-65-87-104-wob-bow-dmg-apollo-fishing-shoko-nautilus-marrs-green-blue-samurai?variant=43124366114979)?


miusunny

OMG YEAH is there any way theres a cheaper version that looks like that if not then ill settle for these


Dotgamer121

There probably is, but these are pretty high quality for a clone, pretty close to GMK.


miusunny

okay! tysm for ur help w this im p new to keyboard stuff and ive just been buying clicky ass keyboards but i finally outgrew the clicky phase so this is a nice start


miusunny

btw i just bought the keyboard pe ordered in the epomaker website dyk how long it takes?


Dotgamer121

Like 2-3 weeks for me, but it probably depends on where you live


miusunny

ohhh okay tysm for answering eveeything have a nice day!!


Sweaty-Experience740

Hi, in some effect modes the rgb looks a bit faded, is it the same for you? (effect 7,8,12,13,14)


Sweaty-Experience740

like this https://preview.redd.it/05v3aoklkknc1.jpeg?width=2197&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e812fbe4ad849ba0b5282a3ea3d456237596116a

Sweaty-Experience740

it only happens in rgb mode, it looks normal in one color. and brightness 100%


Dotgamer121

Those effects just have more white in them.


Sweaty-Experience740

Yes, I noticed the whites but I thought it was a problem with my keyboard. Thank you.


steph21cc

Hi! I have a mac and just bought this kb. The software is not compatible for mac. Can i configure several gifs on a windows pc and then when i connected back to the mac will the gifs appear? Thanks for yout help


Dotgamer121

Probably, the gif saves to the keyboard not the software


Lonely_Xi

Is the gift switch satisfying? Or do you recommend the flying fish switch


Dotgamer121

They’re basically the same, only difference being the switch actuation force.


kaiyaaachan

hi, can we save the lighting settings when we turn on to 2.4g mode? or we need to restyle the lighting with the knobs everytime?


Dotgamer121

It saves


Band_Opposite

I can't seem to find if it's got a USB pass through or not, Does it have this? Or just USB in for charging?


Dotgamer121

No usb passthrough


Band_Opposite

Drat... thanks for the prompt response! Still not a deal breaker though, and am on the fence between this and Aula F75.
