EPOMAKER CUSTOM MECHANICAL SWITCH Peach Lily Jade Blossom KTT Macaron Blue KTT Macaron Green KTT Macaron Pink Mechanical Keyboard with Customizable Display Screen RT100 RT100 ISO TH80-X AK820 PRO Shadow-X Review: Key chattering, otherwise decent board - The most disappointing thing is that the PCB is prone to chatter (keys (re)activating themselves at random when typing quickly) once every few hundred characters. Disappointing, not what I'd expect of a £60 RRP keyboard in 2024. The screen is cool but has major colour shifting and dimming if you're not hunched over the keyboard looking straight down on it. Also, the stabs may be factory lubed but they are rattly by design and need immediate replacement if you want a good sound. My unit had a permanent scuff on it right out of the box, so the QC must not be the best. Lastly I was disappointed that there's no way to set just a white backlight (R+G+B) like you can on other boards, even using VIA. Definitely only for touch-typists, which I am, but I still discovered that I habitually pressed the Y key with my left index on regular boards for some reason and had to learn to hit it with my right index instead. Not too bad of an adjustment and I can go back to regular boards no problem. The board sounds and feels amazing kitted out with lubed+filmed gateron reds and an old YMDK OEM-profile pudding keycap set. It sounds deep and creamy, and the switches are super smooth - I love it. In general I like using this keyboard quite a bit, but there's no excuse for the chatter at this price and in this day and age. You can use any version of VIA you want, but in V2.x and V3.x you have to enable the design tab and drag the JSON file into it to enable the functionality. I may attach some photos and videos in due course. Review: Good keyboard at this price point - Pretty good keyboard except for disassembly. It supports wireless, it supports VIA (not QMK) which is safe and easy to use, it has an lcd, so functionality wise, good. But once I tried to open it, i started to hate it because it was one of the tightest keyboard i bought. It sounds and feels good out of the box, so i gave up disassembling it. So besides the disassembly part, i like this keyboard and i don't think there is an alternative to this one (wireless via alice) at this price point ## Features - 【VIA-Programmable: Your Keyboard, Your Style】 Complementing its ergonomic design, the CIDOO ABM066 also boasts a robust VIA-programmable feature. This open-source software offers an intuitive interface for real-time customization without requiring any coding skills. From key remapping and layer configurations to RGB customization and macro creation, VIA turns your keyboard into a highly personalized device. - 【Hot-Swappable PCB & Alice Layout】For the keyboard enthusiasts who enjoy a hands-on approach to customization, the CIDOO ABM066 comes in a barebones kit option, complete with a hot-swappable PCB. This is the ultimate sandbox for personalization, giving you complete control over every aspect of your keyboard. The Alice layout featured in the CIDOO ABM066 is an innovative take on traditional keyboard layouts, designed with ergonomics and comfort at its core. Named after the iconic "Alice" ergonomic layout, it deviates from the standard straight rows and columns found in most keyboards. - 【Three Modes of Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0&2.4GHz&Type-C Cable】 The CIDOO ABM066 supports connection via Bluetooth(FN+Q/W/E) or 2.4GHz(FN+R) for wireless connectivity, or with the included Type-C USB cable. With Bluetooth 5.0, it easily connects seamlessly with your devices within 10 meters. Equipped with an 3000mAh battery, the keyboard is also easily switched among the three modes for efficient multitasking and speedy performance. - 【Gasket mounted with Flex-cut PC Mounting Plate】The CIDOO ABM066 takes the typing experience to a new level by incorporating a gasket-mounted assembly, coupled with a flex-cut PC mounting plate. The inclusion of gaskets between the plate and the PCB creates a soft and forgiving bottom-out experience. The gasket mount isolates the typing plate from the rest of the case, significantly reducing vibrations and producing a more consistent, satisfying sound. - 【South-facing LED RGB Backlight & Win/Mac Compatible】 The CIDOO ABM066 continues to impress with its attention to detail, offering south-facing LED RGB backlight and full compatibility with both Windows and mac OS environments. This ensures not only an aesthetically pleasing experience but also functionality that caters to a broad range of user preferences. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CKP2GKM2 | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | 143,007 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 2,202 in Keyboards (Computers & Accessories) | | Box Contents | USB Cable | | Brand | EPOMAKER | | Brand Name | EPOMAKER | | Button Quantity | 67 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Tablet | | Compatible Operating System Family | MacOS, Windows | | Compatible devices | Laptop, PC, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB-C | | Connectivity technology | Bluetooth, USB-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 125 Reviews | | Generation | 1st Generation | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 37.1L x 12.1W x 4H centimetres | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Gaming | | Keyboard Layout | Neo | | Keyboard description | Gaming | | Manufacturer | EPOMAKER | | Manufacturer Part Number | ABM066 | | Model Name | ABM066 | | Model Number | ABM066 | | Number of Batteries | 1 | | Number of Keys | 67 | | Number of Sections | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | VIA-Programmable, Alice-layout, Hot-Swappable, Gasket-mounted, South-facing LED RGB Backlight | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Warranty | | Recommended uses for product | Gaming | | Special feature | VIA-Programmable, Alice-layout, Hot-Swappable , Gasket-mounted, South-facing LED RGB Backlight | | Style Name | Classic | | Switch Type | Tactile | | Theme | Keyboard Customization | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EPOMAKER - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, PC, Tablet - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth, USB-C - **Keyboard description:** Gaming - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming - **Special feature:** VIA-Programmable, Alice-layout, Hot-Swappable, Gasket-mounted, South-facing LED RGB Backlight - **Colour:** Black - **Number of keys:** 67 - **Keyboard backlighting colour support:** RGB - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vL--JbH2L.jpg) ![EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71baaSNo1pL.jpg) ![EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tZyQP4ziL.jpg) ![EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zgXYI7-YL.jpg) ![EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71q-O2lqcJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Colour Name** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Key chattering, otherwise decent board *by M***E on 27 June 2024* The most disappointing thing is that the PCB is prone to chatter (keys (re)activating themselves at random when typing quickly) once every few hundred characters.

Both units had keys on the PCB that were not registering, making the keyboard unusable. I tried troubleshooting by swapping the switches with known working ones, but the problem persisted. Additionally, the VIA software could not recognize the board. This has been very frustrating, and I ended up returning both keyboards. I was really looking forward to using this product, but unfortunately, it has not met my expectations. ## Frequently Bought Together - EPOMAKER CIDOO ABM066 Alice-layout VIA-programmable Barebones Kit with TFT-LCD Screen and Rotary Knob, Hot Swappable, Triple Modes(BT/2.4Ghz/Type-C), NKRO, RGB Backlight, for Win/Mac (Black) - EPOMAKER Sea Salt Silent Mechanical Keyboard Switches Set, Pre-Lubed Linear Switch with LED Slot, 50g, 35 Pieces for Customizing Mechanical Gaming Keyboards --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/588824672-epomaker-cidoo-abm066-alice-layout-via-programmable-barebones-kit-tft](https://www.desertcart.at/products/588824672-epomaker-cidoo-abm066-alice-layout-via-programmable-barebones-kit-tft) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
