EPOMAKER G84 Pro Wireless Gaming Keyboard with Screen & Knob (75% Hot Swappable, 8000mAh, BT 5.0/2.4G/USB-C)
Product description
The essentials
The EPOMAKER G84 Pro is a 75% wireless mechanical gaming keyboard that tries to do more than just type. It adds a glass screen with a metal knob, supports multiple connection modes, and leans into a “soft, cushioned” feel thanks to its silicone keycaps, gasket-style structure, and layered acoustic foam. The result, on paper, is a board aimed at people who want a nicer sound and feel for long sessions—coding, writing, gaming, and late-night desk time—without constantly fiddling with cables.
It’s also hot swappable. That’s a big deal if you like experimenting with switch types over time. You can keep the included “Creamy Jade” and “Sea Salt Silent” options in rotation, or swap to other switches later using the board’s hot-swap PCB approach (no soldering mentioned).
One limitation to keep in mind: with a feature set this layered (wireless modes, screen, knob, RGB, hot swap), it’s not the simplest, most minimal keyboard. If you only care about raw typing reliability and nothing else, it may feel like overkill.
Key features that matter in daily use
What stands out most with the G84 Pro is how many small controls it gives you right at the keyboard. The built-in screen is positioned as a way to keep essentials in view—things like battery status and time—plus it can be personalized. The description also calls out animations, doodles, or GIFs via web software, and the screen can work as an RGB control panel.
The metal knob is essentially a dual-purpose control. It can be used for volume and also tied to screen navigation for light customization (FN + knob is referenced). In practice, that means less alt-tabbing to manage desk visuals, and more “desk command center” convenience.
Then there’s the feel. Silicone keycaps with a soft, suede-like texture are paired with gasket construction and 5-layer acoustic foam intended to reduce strong vibrations and annoying bouncing. If you’ve ever disliked hollow or ringy sounds from lighter budget boards, this is the kind of design meant to calm that down.
For wireless, the keyboard is designed around three connection modes: 2.4G for fast gaming use, Bluetooth for portability, and a wired USB-C mode for more critical tasks or stability. It’s also positioned with an “ultra-fast 1000 polling” claim for responsiveness in competitive scenarios.

What you’ll notice day to day
This keyboard’s pitch is comfort and control. The “gasket” + acoustic foam + silicone keycaps combination is meant to deliver a deeper, more resonant sound while keeping the feel smoother and calmer during long sessions. The Cherry-profile keycap mention and a two-level stand also suggest they’re thinking about ergonomics, not just aesthetics.
A micro example: imagine you’re writing for an hour. Instead of hearing sharp, pingy key noise, you’re aiming for a more dampened, cushiony sound. Then you glance at the screen to confirm battery and the time, tweak RGB brightness or effects using the knob/screen controls, and keep typing—no reaching for your mouse every few minutes.
For gaming, the keyboard is set up to switch to 2.4Ghz or wired mode depending on what you prioritize. If you’re doing competitive play, you’ll likely stick to the faster connection approach. If you’re moving between a laptop, tablet, or phone, Bluetooth mode with simultaneous multi-device support (up to 3 devices is stated) is the practical convenience.
Where it shines (and where it might not)
It makes sense if you want a 75% keyboard that blends gaming responsiveness with an “at-home productivity” feel: softer keycap texture, gasket-style vibration reduction, and a display + knob that turns the desk into a command surface.
It may not be the best match if you prefer the simplest setup with minimal extra hardware. The screen, knob, RGB control, web software customization, and multi-mode connectivity are great when you’ll actually use them—otherwise you could spend more than you need.
Also, hot swap is great for experimentation, but if you don’t plan to change switches, the added complexity may not add much value for you.
Care & compatibility notes (before you buy)
Before committing, it’s worth double-checking how you want to use the screen features and software customization, since the description references a web software workflow for uploading and personalizing screen content and for configuring layouts/macros. If you want a keyboard that stays mostly “plug in and forget,” you might find that part less relevant.
You’ll also want to be comfortable switching between 2.4Ghz, Bluetooth (up to 3 devices), and USB-C depending on the task. The keyboard supports those modes, but your experience will depend a lot on how you switch devices in your real routine.
Mini FAQ
Is the EPOMAKER G84 Pro good for gaming?
It’s positioned for gaming thanks to multi-mode connectivity (2.4Ghz and wired) and a stated 1000 polling rate, plus NKRO.
Can you swap switches without soldering?
The description says it has a hot swappable PCB and a 2-in-1 keycap/switch extractor, enabling swaps without soldering (as described).
How many devices can it connect to via Bluetooth?
Bluetooth mode is described as connecting up to 3 devices simultaneously.
What can the screen show?
The screen is said to display essentials like battery and time, and it can be personalized with animations, doodles, or GIFs through the referenced web software. It can also act as an RGB control panel.
Should I choose this over a simpler 75% wireless board?
If you’ll use the screen/knob controls, want the softer silicone + acoustic design, and care about hot swap flexibility, it fits well. If you only need basic wireless and typing, a stripped-down model may be easier to live with.
When it makes sense
Buy the EPOMAKER G84 Pro if you want a 75% wireless gaming keyboard that feels smoother for long writing and programming sessions, while still offering competitive-friendly connection options. The silicone keycaps, gasket-style approach, and layered acoustic foam are the core comfort story, and the screen + metal knob are genuinely useful if you like desk customization.
Skip it if you prefer a no-frills keyboard without extra controls, or if you won’t care about screen personalization, RGB control, or switch experimentation. In that case, it can feel like paying for features you may never touch.
