Epomaker shipped a Black Grey Dynatab 75X test unit for MUO to check out.
The 75X weighs 1,054g, so its about average for 75% mechanical keyboards.
Additionally, its dimensions are 145 x 181 x 42mm.
The Epomaker Dynatab 75X is a 75% retro mechanical keyboard with an excellent feel. Its dot-matrix retro LED display gives the images you create or upload to the keyboard’s screen an 8-bit feel.
It also has a thick, gray USB-C cable about 1,880mm long.
If you like minimalism, youd want to pick the former design.

It also has a mode that shows the last few keys you typed on the keyboard.
Because the screen has such a low resolution, its easy to create your own design from scratch.
you’re free to also import photos to show that on your keyboard.

Wired mode also turns off the keyboard if youre not using it, thus saving battery life.
I havent been able to test it, as I prefer using my keyboards in wired mode.
They feel clunky and can be a bit difficult to navigate.

Nevertheless, the latest versions of the Epomaker app received a marked improvement.
Furthermore, creating designs and animations on the Screen tab is much easier and clearer.
Hopefully, a driver update will fix this before Epomaker starts delivering these keyboards.

But aside from that, I could say that the Epomaker driver has made a lot of improvements.
Its not perfect yet, but I can honestly say that its slowly getting there.
It provides a fantastic feel with every keystroke, making your fingers relish every character you input.
