Review

Users will be impressed by the Magcore 87‘s premium feel. The gasket is cleanly manufactured and the keys are clearly printed. I love how the clear purple keys accents the black. The kit includes extra keycaps if you prefer to have an all black keyboard. Once plugged in, users can appreciate an RGB effect that is customizable and not too distracting. There is no denying that the Magcore 87 is a very pretty keybaord.

Using the keyboard, I was impressed by how comfortable it became. The layout and shape took some getting used too, but once everything clicked, I had no issue. I wouldn’t call it an ergonomic solution, but I was able to handle my typical long sessions in front of my computer with minimal soreness. I am a little bummed that the the height isn’t adjustable, but the typing angle should be good for most users.

My only complaint is that the keyboard adds clutter to my desk. I would love to reduce the amount of wires that reach across my desk, but I can’t complain about the performance. The adjustable actuation is a nice feature for those who need it, but it is battle ready out of the box. It was able to handle all my gaming and workflow needs, but I can’t speak on how it performs at a more competitive level of gaming. It is at the very least, good for the higher end of casual play.

If you are looking for a premium feeling wired keyboard, the Epomaker Magcore 87 is a fantastic choice. This keyboard is comfortable with solid performance and a clean modern aesthetic that will upgrade any workspace or battle station.

You can pick up the Magcore 87 on the official Epomaker store.
