Gasket Mount-The Desired Structure
EK98 VIA is designed as a gasket-mounted keyboard kit. The typing tactile and auditory experience is further enriched in EK98 VIA with the use of Poron foams. Poron foam in our construction dampens reverberations within housing, effectively dampening resonance and allowing a cleaner sound profile. Included PC plate can best fit gasket mount compared to other more flexible plates such as steel or FR4. This adds to stability of the kit over long gaming sessions.

Select the best switch for your style.
Before choosing what type of mechanical or optical switch, we need to understand it is mostly about preference. You need to look into what will work best for you and what you will use your keyboard for the most. Our Epomaker GK series, and some of our other keyboards allow for hotswappability. This means that even if you dislike the current switch you bought, you can swap it to another switch. Which switch you can swap to depends on your keyboard type.
