EpicGear has been steadily growing in popularity over the last few years, and we're very happy to see the DeFiant Mechanical Gaming Keyboard in the eTeknix office today, marking our first EpicGear peripheral review! With that in mind, I'm not really sure...
Modular switches, Light bars, Unique addons, Excellent switch performance, Detachable wrist rest, Comprehensive software, Perkey lighting, Braided cables, Competitively priced, Unique design, Cons, Addons do make the keyboard quite large, Light bars are c...
Addons do make the keyboard quite large, Light bars are cumbersome to install, Some of the addon features could have been more easily integrated into the main keyboard design...
Price The EpicGear DeFiant isn't easy to find in the UK outside of eBay stores, but it's readily available in many markets and no impossible to get in the UK if you shop around. We found it at CaseKing.de for 99 EUR, which is pretty on-par with a lot of...

EpicGear has been around for a while now, and sadly, in that time, we have no seen all that much as far as products go. Checking back into their folder on the NAS, we found that review sampling has come down to two products. The first of which was the Med...
On its own, the DeFiant from EpicGear is a solid mechanical keyboard that functions very well. We are glad we opted for the purple switches, as they do remind us of a switch somewhere between a Cherry MX blue and green switch. The gray switches are tough...

Too much of the keyboard's functionality is sold separately, Build quality is not the best, The backlighting is poor, The software suite is also dated and clunky, Even if you do buy the extra switches, the share the same actuation weight and distance, I f...
The EpicGear DeFiant keyboard may seem interesting thanks to the hot-swappable switches, but overall, I am quite disappointed with it.For starters, it is not very attractive – there is nothing about the design which makes you go ‘wow, that looks pretty ne...

Sturdy and Quality feel to the build, Modular switches allow easy replacement, Incredibly competitive pricing, Switches feel great to use. Do I dare say that they fell better than Cherry MX Reds and Browns? (Yeah, I do)...

I've been waiting an entire review to say that what EpicGear has done with the Defiant lives up to it's name of Epic! The modular design, customization options, quality and performance are exceptional on this keyboard. What kills me is that EpicGear gave...

While the EpicGear DeFiant Mechanical Keyboard Set is an amazing keyboard kit it begs the question of “why?”. Since the inception of the mechanical keyboard companies have been faced with having to produce multiple versions of the same keyboard based on d...

Strip away the RGB elements of a gaming keyboard, many gamers will look for the right tactile feel they prefer, the practicality of features, and fast response times. Today we will be taking a look at the EpicGear DeFiant EG MMS mechanical keyboard to see...
On its own, the DeFiant EG MMS mechanical keyboard is pretty straight forward. Its not the best looking gaming keyboard out there, and out of the box there's nothing to much shout about. Install the software and aside from the usual features such as macro...

Just about everyone has jumped into the mechanical keyboard market at this point but rarely do you see companies take their time in tweaking and tuning their products like I have seen with EpicGear. All the way back in 2015 I took a look at their Dezimato...
So the DeFiant Keyboard Set is an interesting one. Normally I'm only taking a look at just a keyboard but with this one, the keyboard is really only part of the picture. You get the DeFiant keyboard, a carrying case, a container of light bars, the adjus...
