Epomaker, the online retail store and keyboard community, announced the 'Epomaker Lite,' a 60% form factor keyboard with a unique gasket design. The Epomaker Lite includes what Epomaker refers to as a shallow gasket mount design, which the company patented for use in keyboards.
This proprietary design allows for the gasket to have a slight elastic texture while still feeling firm and stable. This means when users press down the keys completely, they will not feel a solid floor, but rather a tension that increases with pressure. Epomaker claims that this keyboard delivers a "completely unique tactile sensation" on its marketing page.
Aside from this unique design, the Epomaker Lite features hot-swappable switches, changeable keycaps, dedicated companion software, and north-facing RGB LEDs for each individual key.
