Epomaker’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its Skyloong GK87 TKL keyboard down at $14.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. Though this is listed to have a “typical price” of $30 at Amazon, it has been going for $80 in recent months. It just plunged to a new all-time low with an 81% discount today, landing $65 below its usual going rate. There’s plenty to like about this unit, especially at its discounted price today, and you can learn more about it below.
The Epomaker Skyloong GK87 TKL, as the name implies sports a Tenkeyless layout, which is perfect for those who like to have a navigation cluster on their board for ease of use. The highlight here, however, are the three included rotary knobs which you can customize using QMK/VIA, an open-source software that lets you program and remap each and every key with ease. The knobs here add an extra layer of functionality, from volume control and media navigation to any custom command of your choice. The variant discounted today comes with Flamingo linear switches, but you can swap them out for pretty much any 3 or 5-pin switches thanks to the hot-swap PCB. This particular keyboard works well with both Mac and Windows, and it even comes with things like a split spacebar, pudding keycaps, blue backlighting, and more.
If you prefer using a keyboard with a more compact layout, then the brand’s TH80-X model is also down at $47. It’s a 65% unit that comes with a single rotary knob and a display to show vital system information, and it’s down from its usual price of $100 right now.
