Customer Ratings & Reviews

TLDR: Muted mechanical switches and very impressive battery life make for a good, no-frills keyboard CONNECTIONS Wired – Via the Included USB-C charging cable Bluetooth 5.2 2.4GHz via the included USB-C dongle USER EXPERIENCE The JLAB Epic has everything you need in a mechanical keyboard without adding a bunch of fluff and frills to the equation, thereby cutting down on costs. The mechanical switches are nicely muted compared to some full-on gaming keyboards that click and clack like freight trains. While I find those keyboards wildly satisfying to use, they are not really friendly for anyone but the user. Too loud for an office and even louder in a quiet home environment. The JLAB strikes an excellent balance of clack with only enough dampening to keep keystrokes from sounding dead and dull. I’m sure others will disagree, as everyone has their own preference on keys and dampening materials, but the JLAB is a very nice combination between the extremes. I like that. Too often manufacturers put so much sound deadening in their products, the mechanical key experience is ruined. In line with the just enough, but not overboard, is the keyboard backlighting. There is no RGB backlighting or swanky OLED displays. Just plain and simple white backlit keys. With adjustable brightness levels and a very pleasing font on the keys, the backlighting is nearly perfect. Sophisticated with little under key light bleed that I despise. Being a full-sized keyboard, button spacing is generous without feeling cramped. The added ten-key pad on the right side is a welcome addition and is not something I normally miss on my 75% keyboard, until I use a full-size board and then go back to the 75%. It takes me a while to get used to not having it, wishing that I did. One thing that this JLAB excels at is battery life. JLAB claims up to a year of battery life with backlighting off. Even with backlit keys, JLAB estimates battery life at 19+ days. Outstanding. The battery life of this keyboard is FAR superior than my current 75% keyboard. You can watch the battery life countdown on my 75% keyboard. Not with the JLAB. Even with the backlighting on, I have had little battery drain. At this rate, I’m estimating the JLAB will last 5x longer than my best wireless keyboard that costs twice as much. Great work JLAB. FINAL THOUGHTS The Epic Mechanical keyboard isn’t flashy or obnoxious. It is a pleasant surprise to the mechanical keyboard market. Unassuming with everything the user needs in a device without being pretentious. The JLAB Epic sparks a nice balance between an over-the-top, full-on gaming keyboard and a flimsy membrane-style keyboard, giving the user a great combination of typing experience and features without busting the bank. RECOMMENDED

Nice to type on. I like the key action. Seems to be sturdy construction. Connection to multiple computers is very useful and easy. Only the backlight intensity and duration is customisable so the associated app does not do very much.

I have an older JLAB wireless keyboard and have really enjoyed it. However, having pretty much the same thing but with mechanical keys is even better. I absolutely love the feel of the mechanical keys. Even though they claim to be “quiet”, they still make a fair bit of noise, which for me, I enjoy. It gives that added feedback that you have typed something. Personally, I feel like I type better, less typos, on a mechanical keyboard than their lower profile membrane keyboards. One key feature that is a must have for me, is being able to connect to multiple devices. My main system does not have Bluetooth, so having the USB dongle is a must. However, one drawback, this one is USB-C only and does not come with an adapter to USB-A. However, luckily, I already had one from a device that I am not actively using. So consider getting an adapter if you also don’t have a space USB-C port. The other two connections are through Bluetooth and quickly allow me to change between them, like a laptop or other capable device. Even with my old keyboard though, I wouldn’t mind if the lock key was in a different place, as I end up accidentally locking my computer as I go to select my main one. It’s nothing to swap back and unlock though, just like an occasional typo. The back light is all white, except for a few select keys, like Caps Lock when on, Num Lock when cycled and the 2.4 button for connecting to the dongle are green and the 1 and 2 buttons for Bluetooth devices are blue when selected. To top it off, you don’t have to have any specific apps to use the keyboard as intended, even for the multi-function volume knob. However, if you want to reprogram the shortcuts for any of the function keys or change the Insert/Home/End key, shown as 1/2/3 on the keyboard, to any some other function, you can get the JLAB Work App from their site or on your mobile device. This one is a fair bit heavier than the other one I have, but it is expected with the different key style. This one also has 3 levels of angle that you can keep it at with just the flip of the back feet. I believe some of the weight might also be for a larger battery as they claim “up to a year on a single charge”, but that is all subjective with use and LED backlighting. My previous one would go a couple weeks with regular daily use before a charge was needed. I’ve had this one for over a week and have not needed a charge yet. To conserve battery even more, you can always just turn it off when not in use with the switch in the top left. Overall, I really do enjoy this keyboard. The smooth mechanical feel, the soft clack with my interactions, the subtle white back light to guide me in my low lit space and the feeling of a super nerd as I flip between 3 computers on the same keyboard. I wish it had come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, but just like the power blocks that no one supplies for other electronics, they cut it out anywhere they can.

I've had this keyboard for several months and it's been very enjoyable to use. Comfortable typing, nice backlighting, and the volum knob make for a great experience. Easy to switch between my two Macs. Battery lasts for a long time between charges.

Whether you're a work from home employee or a gamer, this is the keyboard for you! I LOVE how simple and complex it is. As a "tech head" and gamer this keyboard was worth every penny. I love that I can have it connected to up to 3 devices at once and the multi-media functions that it comes with. I have a fairly large desk at home and being able to adjust my work space with the wireless feature helps keep some of the clutter down. No need to buy anymore rechargeable batteries and the battery life is crazy good! I honestly think I have gone 3 1/2 good weeks without needing to charge it. I love the springiness of the buttons too and it's so smooth while I'm typing. I'm seriously not gassing this thing up more than I should because I really love it. Go ahead and buy yours NOOOOOW!!!!!

Depending on what you're looking for, keyboards can be costly. Some may find themselves paying over $300 for a decent mechanical keyboard. If you're hardcore competitive gamer, that price may be justifiable. For the average person however, ehhh...that might be a little too pricey. For those looking for a decent prices solid mechanical keyboard, the JLab - Epic Mechanical Advanced Multi-device Wireless Keyboard comes through...to an extent. To start, connecting this keyboard is easy. Plug in the dongle, and you're good to go. Thinking of going wired to avoid dealing with battery life? That's a no go. This wireless keyboard is kind of stubborn when it comes to using it's USB C cord. Connecting to a computer will charge the laptop, but no go on wired connection. This keyboard also connects via Bluetooth, however, the Jlab app does not recognize the keyboard without the wireless dongle. Connecting via Bluetooth even with the dongle connected will remove the keyboard from the app. When it comes to the app...it's limited. The app allows you to adjust the brightness and determine how long the keyboard's backlight stays on. You can tweak the function of the function keys with three different profiles...that's it. No other lighting colors,. At 100% the keyboard is relatively bright, not as bright as my other keyboards. As for actual keyboard work...this distance on these keys, the feel of pushing the keys...perfection. It feels good. I can type faster on this keyboard than I can on my regular keyboard. The distance on the keys feels perfect. The press of the keys feels good as well. From a keyboard perspective without the extra features, this is a good keyboard. However, even outside of the extra features, there is one major issue I have with this keyboard. The battery life on this keyboard seems fine, but you can't tell on a regular basis. This keyboard doesn't give you an indication of it's battery life unless it's plugged up. There is a battery indicator light, but unless it's plugged up, it doesn't light. The app doesn't indicate battery percentage. Considering this keyboard is wireless only, that's kind of a big deal. Overall, from a strictly keyboard perspective...this is a great keyboard. Still, keyboards come with so much more bang for your buck, this keyboard is kind of lacking. Add on that the battery indicator light doesn't light without it being plugged up, which, prevents it from being used, and what is a solid keyboard for keyboard sake falls just a little short.

I was surprised to see that keyboards have mostly gone wireless and was concerned there would be connectivity issues since nearly everything wireless tends to have it's moments. And it was pricey too. But I needed a keyboard fast so I bought it and have been very pleased with it. The key action is solid and positive, no double-taps. The charge lasts a long time, I forgot to turn it off for 2 weeks on vacation and it was still working when i got back. No wireless drop outs.

Even though I spent more than I wanted to this keyboard is totally worth it. Very comfortable, works great and I love that fact that I can connect with the USB receiver or utilize two different bluetooth devices. Very convenient!

I like the way the keyboard types. However my only complaint is not related to the keyboard but the Jlab ecosystem. I purchased a mouse from them intending to use one single dongle but they don’t talk with each other like say Logitech. All in all good products just wish I could use one dongle to connect both.

So much happier with this than Logiteks whose keyboard letters wear off fast. Has a better feel, I mistype less; and it is bluetooth to TWO PC's at the push of 2 keys upper right corner. I have 2 and type fast. Takes abt 3 seconds to switch fm 1 PC to the other bluetoothed device. Doesnt come w/ a mouse. After a string of Logiteks, all w faded lettering, I am not going back. I only wish the F and J keys had a bigger bump to allign my fingers to it.

The main feature I use with this keyboard is the ability for it to connect to three computers at most without additional pairing beyond what is required for the keyboard to work with my selected devices. The keyboard has two Bluetooth connections and one USB connection. It took some time to get used to the keyboard, but once I got used to using it, it works great.

The keyboard is nice. It connected to my PC without incident. It's taken a few minutes to figure out exactly where all of the functions on my previous keyboard are now, but everything is there. The reason for only 4 star is the sound of the keyboard. The keyboard is loud. Every click I press seems to echo through the house (not quite, but just loud). I swap between this new keyboard and my Apple keyboard and it's not and day. If it were quieter, I'd give it 5 stars.

Bought a new computer to replace my years old Windows 10 PC. Great new DELL computer but it came with a black keyboard (the old one was white) making it hard to see the letters. So went on a quest to find a keyboard that is back-lit and makes the lettering shine. Also needed to keep the price down. Gaming keyboards were abundant but at a much higher price. Then I found this keyboard and bought it. It is great. The lettering is dark until I start to type, then they light up and makes it very easy to see them. The keys also have a clicking sound which is kinda neat. And wireless so no cable in the way. All in all a nice buy. Never heard of JLab so I approsched cautiously. Turned out to be a wise choice. Solidly built.

Amazing keyboard, the keys aren’t super clacky & it’s very versatile with connectivity. JLab is where it’s AT

Comfortable keyboard, lots of ways to connect wirelessly. Great price during holidays. Solid construction.

Best keyboard I have ever purchased. Has held up extremely well and I use it 7 days a week. Extremely smooth and the Bluetooth connection is phenomal. Haven’t had to charge it once in several months 10/10 would recommend.

The backlit keyboard comes in handy when working in low lit areas, and the knob to adjust the volume is a plus!

Better for typing than most mechanical keyboards I tried. The keys have about the right kind of sensitivity so you don’t get a lot of erroneous characters as you type. Probably not sensitive enough for gamers. The keyboard backlighting is only in white light no colors or changing patterns or colors of light. I wish it came with an attached wrist pad. I’m having difficulties finding one that fits well. Most are too high. Ability to connect to 3 devices is a plus.

It has a great feel, but poor connectivity. The Bluetooth needs to reset each time it sits for 3+ minutes, meaning your first letters are not captured. It also fails to reconnect at log-in. This is annoying, but you can work around it. If you use the dongle, then it doesn't seem to have that problem. So it should just be advertised without bluetooth. It's a shame, because I really like the typing feel, backlight, and volume control.
