Womier ERA75 75% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with VIA/QMK

Personally I think it's not the best looking keyboard and I threw away the tacky stickers, but as it's a unpopular keyboard, it is an absolute steal when it goes on sale. Coming from a plastic keychron, the typing experience is so much nicer, it's not even close. I swapped out the keycaps for womier low profile keycaps, mainly as I'm on a Mac and there are no command and option keycaps included, but it does have the Mac/Win switch on the back. The low profile keycaps do sit a little higher on the standard switches, so not as low as a real low profile keyboard. But they're definitely lower than the standard keycaps and personally I prefer having the travel of standard switches, so for me it's the best of both worlds

EDIT: Womier merged two products here in order to hide bad reviews--this is really scummy behavior. PLEASE pay close attention--there are two products being sold here, the Era75 and the SK75, and they are COMPLETELY different. My review is for the Era75 I really went back and forth on a 2 or a 3, but ultimately ended up on a 2. I'm a keyboard enthusiast who's tried several, and aside from the fun (if not kind of gimmicky) angle with the stickers, this board has too many issues for me to recommend. First, the switches. These don't feel particularly nice--they're not that smooth, and they've got a pretty plasticky kind of clacky sound signature to them. From taking them apart, the lube job just isn't very good. They perform better with a better lube job, but they're still not my favorite switches, despite full pom usually being more on a deeper thockier side of things, these just aren't that much. Light diffusion is fine, at least. Then, the keycaps. These are thicker than some keyboard offerings, but they're still thinner than the 'nice' switches i've gotten elsewhere. But worse, they don't feel particularly nice. They've got a rougher texture in not a good way, and I don't particularly like typing on them. The legends are mostly okay, but they are blurry in spots. I wish they would've spent the extra money making them nicer. Now, to my biggest complaint: The stabilizers. These are absolutely awful. There's no way around it. For one, they were so slathered in lube that my enter key, out of the box, was squishy and a bit sticky and almost silent. And the space bar ticked like mad, as did the backspace key. I played with several lube configs, and I couldn't get these stabilizers to sound good. Not even close. I ended up having to replace them with the stabilizers from a much cheaper board--which performed far better. Then, of course, the advertising issues: They say this board is QMK and VIA compatible--it is not. You can use VIA through a Json file (something QMK expressly forbids, for the record), but you cannot use QMK to customize this board because they never released the source files. It is not QMK compatible, at least not currently, and I will always dock a star when a company lies about a product's capabilities. Other nitpicks: They really should've done an annodization. The spray-coating they used here is really thin and scratches very easily, and it also... doesn't look that nice? It's pretty matte, I wish it had more shine so there was a little bit more of a premium feel. There is no dongle storage, which is very bad--it means you're almost certainly going to lose that thing. Taking this board apart is pretty tricky, they've shown that they know how to do rapid open boards, so it's disappointing not to see it here. The good news: If you ignore the keycaps, switches, and stabilizers, it's not a bad board underneath. It does sound fuller thanks to its non-flex-cut pcb, the foaming is nice, and I'm not really detecting case ping. I wish they had more plate options (this would sound really good with a pom plate, or even an FR4), but the base board itself isn't bad. This would likely be a three star, maybe even a four star, if they hadn't provided such absolutely awful stabilizers that basically made the board awful out of the box, and if they'd given this better offerings in terms of switches.

Upgraded from an RK61 to this model, and I'll never go back to a plastic case again. The build quality as a result of the CNC Aluminum gives a healthy degree of sturdiness but I do not consider this a keyboard one can carry with them, it's a little on the heavy side. Regardless, it only takes an extra ~half inch on my desk compared to a 60% keyboard, so economy of space is filled nicely. Will be switching out the keycaps but the ones built in are quite good, just not my style. The POM Gold Switches are almost worth buying the keyboard for by itself, it has a very creamy sound profile and its dimensions make work and play both comfortable and natural of a feeling. Pretty much a plug and play model, though having quick access to VIA is always a plus.
