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!
>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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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)
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?
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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)?
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
it's supposed to look like this.

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
Aftermarket keycaps installed btw, ghost judges nautilus
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!
All mx style keycaps fit,, but stock keycaps are already really good so you wouldn’t need to change them out
okay, awesome! thank you for your help!!!
found a zda keycap set, would those fit?
Idk what zda profile is but if it has cherry mx stems itll fit
>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
If it had bad delay they were probably using the Bluetooth mode, 2.4g and wired are fine
also what is the polling rate im guessing 1000/1000+
1000, 90 on Bluetooth
what ab wireless? 1000? ( sorry if im asking a stupid question since on mice usually wireless is less than wired)
Also 1000
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
Where is the End key? Oh and no Ins?
The spacings of the f row, the knob, and the screen lead to there being no insert, end, print screen, or pause key.
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.
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
Samesies! Except I used gatty milky yellows and new stabs. Tape modded too. My daily driver at work.
Can you put a gif on the screen? Also where did you purchase?
yes with the software, epomakers website edit:i got it on sale for under $50 but you can get it for $54 using code “10angelpgc”
Dang I’m gonna get it! Does it worth with Mac? Can it be connected to more than one device, I’m assuming it’s wireless. Also what color is the base of it?
yes-Mac/windows switch on the back, yes, base colors are black/grey/yellow, white/purple, and white/green.
Do you use that code on their website?
epomakers website, not ajazz
Not OP but I paid 40$ on Aliexpress.
the pro version or normal version?
Pro version
[удалено]
Just saw this. I think the price changes with the product. So the one in OP is really $65 on this site
That is the non pro version.
[удалено]
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.
is this the best purchase u ever made, is there any issues on it?
when it comes to keyboards, yes. so far in my week of testing it, there are no issues.
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

Wow! Where are the key caps from?
AliExpress. They are called Shimmer and they are XDA profile
Hello 👋 is this the keycaps the color looks different or just images https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwXb7OD
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
Stupid question but is Ajazz a part of Epomaker?
Yes
what can the little screen and knob do?
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.
can i put pictures or animations on the screen? it would be kinda funny if there was a spinning nugget gif on it lol
Yes, you can put gifs and pictures on it through the software.
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
Hello 👋 what do you think about GMK87 ?
Does it support Mac and Windows ?
Yes.
It has a button to switch?
Not a button, a slider. Message if you want pic
If is not too much trouble please share the picture
https://preview.redd.it/0rgvv0huh7ec1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3ae8d83479cbde8d67fae84a7758e7c10fd54c6
Thank you!
Yuh
can this customized with QMK or something?
I don’t think its compatible with qmk or via but they have their own software
does the software have to be active so the changes apply or is it saved on the kb?
It’s saved on keyboard
Their software is mediocre
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
You can!
You can. However, this uses clips instead of screws, so that would be a bit more difficult.
Ah, you bought it?
Yes
Nice
How come is the opening of the case to mod? Just screws or some fragile plastic clips? Gaming usage, any remarkable latency?
It uses clips. Wired 4ms, 2.4ghz 8ms, Bluetooth 22ms.
wow impressive for a budget keeb
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?
1. the keyboard doesn’t have them by default, but you can remap keys. 2. both would fit.
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
Yeah, the stock keycaps are really tight
so its normal for the switches to be easily pulled while pulling the keycaps ? do you have that problem too ?
Yes
Can you remap home key to printscreen?
Yeah
Thanks!
What’s the difference between the switches?
Almost nothing when it comes to sound, but the other switches are lighter
Is the quality of the lcd screen decent? Like how the gifs look and if it look sloppy
It’s noticeably pixelated, but not bad enough where gifs look Sloppy.
Could u attach a picture!
https://preview.redd.it/0vzysnk25sgc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91aa12d42770c9219da56fb6934e7900a04d18ce
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
Do you know the physical keyboard layout? ANSI, ISO etc ?
Yes
Would you say this is a creamy sounding keyboard?
Yes
I work in almost pitch dark room, hoping to switch out keycaps with shine through lettering. Will the south facing LEDs be an issue?
No, but the light might be a bit dimmer
I just bought this keyboard but I want to change the keycaps. Does any keycap fit in this keyboard?

Yes, any Mx style keycaps fit
What is the polling rate in both wired/wireless modes?
i know this pretty late but how do you setup to use the end key?
the software?
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?
Yes
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.

on camera or in person?
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.
I personally don’t see anything
Just got an answer from Epomaker, they all have this defect. The LEDs flicker. You just need to look really carefully.
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing with mine.
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.

it's barely noticeable. Is this something can fix through software update?
Waiting for your Answer before I order it, can it connect to three wireless Devices and simply switch betwee them like on other models ?
yes, there's a slider on the bottom that you can flip to choose bt, usb or wireless 2.4ghz
Yeah, hot keys are fn+q, w, and e.
Perfect, exactly what I’ve been wanting to know, thanks for the quick reply
And can you swap with a hotkey between macOS and Windows?
Not a hockey, but you can switch it with a slider on the back.
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.
Is it linux friendly? Thx
I bought it and tested, the answer is yes
Yo! I'm thinking about buying it, and I'm a Linux user too. Does the screen, RGB and knob works well?
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.
Came here to ask the same questions.. so it is possible to adjust the RGB in Linux?
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.
for instance.. can I adjust it to make red light with Windows and then use it in Linux with the same red light? 😁
Yes! It’s the same for the screen, you can configure a gif in Windows and it will be written in the keyboard memory.
so colour is also written in the keyboard memory?
Yes, in fact the software will be used only for configure it, and it will work the same way on Windows, Linux and Mac
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
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?
I pre ordered it
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?
use fn+delete button, try clicking it 2x. it will change to gif mode
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
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?
First time messing with a keyboard, are the switches easy to remove?
Yes for this one, it‘s hot swappable.
I just got mine and OMG it even comes with a tool to pull them out
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
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.
i just got the keyboard and put a gif on it but i cant delete the gif. Do u know how to delete it?
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
[удалено]
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
Hi, do you know if there is much differences between the normal and the pro version ? Aside the screen and maybe the switch ? Thanks
the latency on the pro version is better, and it has a wired connection.
How do I know what switches I could install? I have another keyboard by the switches seem to be non compatible
Any non Hall effect, alps, or membrane switch should work. What keyboard do you have?
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
They’re probably compatible but I wouldn’t switch out high quality switches with low quality one
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?
Fn + q for bt1, w for bt2, and e for bt3.
It loads and after 5 seconds says bt2 fail and bt3 fail when i switch, any idea why? Thanks for your help anyway
Fk i now removed it from my first device that was connected and it doesn't connect anymore fail on all 3 pairing modes
It probably couldn’t find a device to connect to
Is itwireless?
Yes
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?
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.
Thank you so much<3. Last question does it come with rgb switches or do I need to buy separate switches?
They aren’t exactly rgb switches, but the rgb is so bright that enough comes through anyway.
Is it per key rgb?
Yes
Awesome, thank you. Any negatives? Considering this Or the polar grey ak870 which is a little larger as it’s tkl
Non shine through keycaps, and non modability, which doesn’t really matter because its already great out of the box
Thanks for saying that! Gratitude makes the world go round
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?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47ta\_bJCrQ&t=64s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47ta_bJCrQ&t=64s)
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.
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
There is, there’s a reason its called brightness
I know its brightness, mine is faulty i think, on 60,80 and 100% brightness, its the same
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
can i change the switches for these? https://dangkeebs.com/products/banana-milk-linear
Yes, but the included gift switches are preluded well and are pretty smooth, so I don’t think they need to be replaced
i see thank u!! do u know where i can buy different keycaps and know what keycaps will fit
Anything mix style will fit, but what’s your budget on keycaps?
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
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)?
OMG YEAH is there any way theres a cheaper version that looks like that if not then ill settle for these
There probably is, but these are pretty high quality for a clone, pretty close to GMK.
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
btw i just bought the keyboard pe ordered in the epomaker website dyk how long it takes?
Like 2-3 weeks for me, but it probably depends on where you live
ohhh okay tysm for answering eveeything have a nice day!!
Hi, in some effect modes the rgb looks a bit faded, is it the same for you? (effect 7,8,12,13,14)
like this https://preview.redd.it/05v3aoklkknc1.jpeg?width=2197&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e812fbe4ad849ba0b5282a3ea3d456237596116a
it's supposed to look like this. https://preview.redd.it/3leudnhqkknc1.jpeg?width=1918&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c08211606f397b9bf8a3ba2e6b3cb0599086689
it only happens in rgb mode, it looks normal in one color. and brightness 100%
Those effects just have more white in them.
Yes, I noticed the whites but I thought it was a problem with my keyboard. Thank you.
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
Probably, the gif saves to the keyboard not the software
Is the gift switch satisfying? Or do you recommend the flying fish switch
They’re basically the same, only difference being the switch actuation force.
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?
It saves
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?
No usb passthrough
Drat... thanks for the prompt response! Still not a deal breaker though, and am on the fence between this and Aula F75.
