So far so good. great for the price. wish it also had connectivity via usb-c but that is just for charging. Like the vol knob.
Bought this keyboard because it looked a lot like the MX Keys. Completely exceeded my expectations! It feels great and it types great. It's got some weight to it and feels premium. Very close to the MX Keys in terms of build quality and far cheaper. I think it's worth the pickup if you want to save some money. Very happy with it!
This thing is great. I bought mine months ago and I have unintentionally put it through torture. I spilled an entire glass of wine on it, and when I did, I shut it off, doused it in some isopropyl alcohol, and let it dry next to a fan. Worked fine the next day and thereafter. Yesterday I literally dropped it in a bucket of water. I quickly dredged it out and shook the water out, propped it up so it would drain to one side in front of the fan. Works fine. Typing on it now. It is built very well. It's the most featureful device of its size next to the (now-discontinued) Lenovo Thinkpoint II wireless keyboard and it's tougher, although it has no pointing device.Yeah, it could have USB data, that'd be nice. Yeah, it's way too easy to hit the Bluetooth/Wifi keys instead of, say, backspace or pgup/pgdn. But it *has* pgup/pgdn which is great, and isn't present on most keyboards its size. But yeah, the layout is a little wonky.But I just bought a second one before the tariffs hit.
This keyboard is useful. I have 4 computers hooked inot the same dock system, on the same screen. One is a Windows server installation. Windows Servers do not have bluetooth support. Before I had to keep a separate, wired keyboard to use when I wanted to use the server. The Epic mini saves space and hooks to the screen system via 2.4G technology. That works when connected to server as well as any other of the 4 computers. Now I have one keyboard that uses 2.4G technology to connect to any of the 4 computers attached to the docking system and a bluetooth connection to use with MAC mini. The MAC is not hooked into the dociking system. It uses a separate, larger, 4K monitor..Typing on the Epic keyboard is fine. It has a good feel to it. Not as good as the more expensive Logitech mini keyboard. The touch on the Epic was eassy to become used to, the layout is ok, and any touch typist will adjust to it quickly
My first JLab product and I'm impressed with the features. It's larger than I thought it would be, but that's a good thing. It doesn't feel cramped. Everyone that's tested it out enjoyed using it. It's actually the same length as my 14" laptop edge to edge. It's 31.5cm L x 14.5cm W. It's 20.3cm tall, with the knob it's around 3cm. The difference is my laptop has large empty space on the sides and the JLab keyboard keys stretch all the way across.The keys have a responsive, tactile feel and work well. They are a bit louder, more clicky than I prefer but I prefer quieter keyboards like laptops generally have. The knob will take some getting use to. I still reach for a mouse which is just instinct at this point.It's a little heavy for travel but that's the tradeoff for the battery. It's slim and easily fits in my 15" and 17" sized laptop backpacks.Every now and then, I have an issue getting this to pair with my phone. I am most successful using the keys on the keyboard to initiate it versus using my phone settings.---------The indicators lights should be better in general. The battery indicator is green for everything from 20-100%, red for anything less. That's a big range on both sides. I haven't tested how long ranges last for me.There is only one indicator light for the usb and 2 bluetooth connections. It has different blink cadences for pairing versus connecting. Each connection has it's on light color. Since there is one indicator, it does not stay lit to show an active connection and there is no way to know. Would be nice to have a light on each key or at the top of the board noting the connection status for each one since this pairs with two devices at once.When I press BT1 or BT2, they both show up as 'Epic Mini' and they need to be renamed on a device to avoid confusion unless you plan to have each one dedicated to a specific device.I accidentally tried to pair BT2 when BT1 was already connected to my phone. I used the keys on board and didn't look at my phone first. After that, it would no longer connect to either one. I tried BT on/off, keyboard on/off, etc. and ultimately repaired and renamed it again. This is one reason to have active indicator lights for each connection. Maybe version 2.0.
It's a good-looking keyboard, it has the features I was mainly looking for, like low profile, wireless, sturdy, backlit, and quiet. It doesn't have adjustable feet to raise the back, so you'll have to prop it up if needed. It feels very much like using a laptop keyboard.I thought the knob was a cute novelty but would never use it, but I actually use it all the time.Everything was working fine until I tried using a wireless DualSense PS5 controller at the same time. The controller scrambles the keyboard signal so it spazzes out when you try to type anything, meaning you can't type into a game's chat window to let your buddy know they're about to be eaten by a mutant fungus. I use a wired mouse, but I imagine a lot of people are going to be pissed to find they can't use their wireless mouse at the same time as the keyboard.The claim about the battery lasting a year or two is total nonsense. Cripes, I can't belive companies are allowed to spout that marketing BS. It might last that long IF YOU NEVER USE IT, leaving it on standby until the battery discharges on its own. But under normal conditions with the backlight set low it lasts me like a week with daily use. Pretty good I think, it charges quick enough too so you can charge it while you eat dinner or shower or poop a few times or something, not necessarily in that order.
