Epomaker Shadow X Mechanical Keyboard

Epomaker Shadow-X: 70% Mechanical Keyboard with Display and Tri-Mode

The Epomaker Shadow-X is a compact 70% mechanical keyboard designed to combine customization, connectivity and a comfortable typing experience. Its design immediately stands out thanks to the 1.06-inch color display and metal knob, integrated into a compact 70-key layout.

Beyond its visual design, the Shadow-X features a gasket-mounted structure, polycarbonate plate, hot-swappable PCB, double-shot PBT keycaps and several internal dampening layers.

Tri-Mode connectivity allows the keyboard to be used through USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth, while the 3000mAh battery supports extended wireless use.

Compact 70% Layout

The Epomaker Shadow-X uses a compact layout with 70 keys and one knob.

This format removes the dedicated function row to reduce the overall footprint while keeping arrow keys and useful navigation controls.

F1–F12 functions remain available through Fn combinations, allowing the keyboard to preserve important functionality without increasing its size.

For gaming, the more compact design also leaves additional desk space for mouse movement.

1.06-Inch Color Display

One of the most distinctive features of the Shadow-X is its 1.06-inch color LCD display.

The screen can show useful information such as battery status, connection mode and other keyboard settings.

It can also be customized through EPOMAKER software, allowing users to display personalized images or GIFs.

This makes the screen both a functional element and a visual feature that adds personality to the keyboard.

Metal Control Knob

Next to the display is a metal rotary knob that helps manage connectivity modes.

The knob allows users to switch between USB, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connections.

The Shadow-X can store multiple Bluetooth connections, making it easier to switch between compatible computers, tablets and other devices without repeating the pairing process every time.

Gasket-Mounted Structure

The Epomaker Shadow-X uses a gasket-mounted design developed to create a softer and more cushioned typing experience.

Instead of fixing the plate rigidly to the case, the keyboard uses dampening elements that allow a degree of flexibility during each keystroke.

The construction also includes a polycarbonate plate, PORON foam, an IXPE switch pad and a silicone bottom pad.

These internal layers help reduce unwanted resonance and create a more controlled typing sound.

Hot-Swappable PCB

The Shadow-X features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing compatible mechanical switches to be replaced without soldering.

Support for 3-pin and 5-pin switches gives users more freedom to customize the typing feel and sound of the keyboard.

You can experiment with linear, tactile or clicky switches without replacing the entire keyboard.

Hot-swap support also makes maintenance easier, since an individual switch can be replaced if necessary.

Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

The Epomaker Shadow-X uses double-shot PBT keycaps.

PBT is known for its resistance to wear and its ability to retain texture over extended periods of use.

The double-shot manufacturing process uses separate layers of plastic to form the legends, helping prevent the characters from fading over time.

This makes the keycaps suitable for heavy everyday use across gaming, typing and productivity.

South-Facing RGB Lighting

The keyboard includes south-facing RGB LEDs.

This orientation positions the LEDs toward the user side of the switches, helping improve lighting visibility and compatibility with different keycap profiles.

Lighting effects, brightness, color and speed can be adjusted according to personal preference.

RGB customization can be managed through keyboard shortcuts or EPOMAKER software.

USB-C, 2.4GHz Wireless and Bluetooth

The Epomaker Shadow-X offers three main connection methods:

USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth.

USB-C provides a direct wired connection, while 2.4GHz wireless offers cable-free use through the included receiver.

Bluetooth adds additional flexibility for users who want to connect the keyboard to several compatible devices.

This combination makes the Shadow-X suitable for gaming setups, workstations and multi-device environments.

1000Hz Polling Rate

When connected through USB-C or 2.4GHz wireless, the Shadow-X supports a 1000Hz polling rate.

This allows the keyboard to report input to the computer up to 1,000 times per second, providing fast and responsive keystroke registration.

The keyboard also supports N-Key Rollover, ensuring that multiple simultaneous key presses register correctly.

These features are particularly useful for gaming and fast typing.

3000mAh Battery

The Epomaker Shadow-X includes a rechargeable 3000mAh battery for wireless use.

The integrated display allows users to monitor the battery level directly from the keyboard.

When charging is required, the keyboard can be connected through USB-C and used in wired mode.

This provides flexibility for users who want a wireless setup without losing access to the keyboard while it charges.

Multi-Platform Compatibility

The Shadow-X is designed to work across several operating systems.

It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, making it suitable for different gaming, productivity and mobile setups.

Dedicated shortcuts and mode settings help adapt the keyboard to different platforms.

Combined with Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, this makes the Shadow-X particularly useful for users who switch between several devices.

EPOMAKER Software Customization

EPOMAKER software provides access to additional customization options for the Shadow-X.

Users can remap keys, create macros, configure RGB lighting and customize the integrated display with images or GIFs.

Different layouts and settings can be created according to gaming, productivity or personal preferences.

This adds a deeper level of customization beyond the keyboard’s physical hot-swap functionality.

Built for Gaming and Everyday Use

The Epomaker Shadow-X combines a compact layout, integrated display, gasket-mounted construction and multiple connectivity options in a versatile mechanical keyboard.

Its hot-swappable PCB allows switch customization, while double-shot PBT keycaps and internal dampening layers support long-term everyday use.

For gaming, the 1000Hz polling rate, N-Key Rollover and 2.4GHz wireless connection provide responsive input.

For productivity, Bluetooth support, the display and multi-platform compatibility make it practical for multi-device workflows.
