Round, uniform-height keycaps styled like bottle caps are the centerpiece of EPOMAKER's new Glyph, a 75% mechanical keyboard that leans hard into typewriter nostalgia while packing a 2.79-inch full-color TFT screen, a programmable knob, and an 8,000 mAh battery under the hood. The board launched on March 13, 2026, alongside three other new releases from EPOMAKER: the RT100 Pro, the Aula F75 Ultra, and the Luma100.

The Glyph runs 83 keys on a 75% layout with an aluminium plate sandwiched inside an ABS plastic body. Keycaps are dye-sublimated PBT, which is a welcome material choice at the $139 price point. Switch options center on the Epomaker Wisteria V2, a linear rated at 45 gf operating force with POM+PTFE stems, a PC top housing, and a PA66 bottom housing. Wireless connectivity covers both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, and the built-in tablet stand adds a practical dimension that distinguishes the Glyph from a straight aesthetics-only play.

Launching alongside it at $115.99, the RT100 Pro takes a different direction with an 1800 layout: full numpad present, but with a compressed navigation cluster to keep the footprint tighter than a traditional full-size. The case is ABS plastic over a PC plate with MX-style switch compatibility. Its 1.54-inch square TFT display is notably removable, freeing up that position for additional switches if preferred. The RT100 Pro ships in a "Retro White" colorway that reads more accurately as beige with green accent keys, and a horizontally-mounted volume roller sits along the right edge.

Rounding out the launch, the Aula F75 Ultra continues the Epomaker and Aula collaboration that built its reputation on the original F75 as a go-to budget gasket-mount. The Ultra keeps the all-plastic gasket construction, MX-style keys, wireless connectivity, and customizable top-right knob from its predecessors, but adds VIA customization support, which previous F75 and F75 Pro models lacked. Switch choices are the Leobog Reaper at 45 to 50 gf with 1.8 mm pre-travel, or the lighter Strawberry Mint at 29 to 38 gf with the same 1.8 mm pre-travel. The board comes in two configurations: smoky translucent PC keycaps on a black chassis with south-facing per-key RGB, or white and blue PBT keycaps on a white body. At $84.99 on Epomaker's site, the F75 Ultra keeps the budget positioning that made the series popular in the first place.

The Glyph is the most distinctive of the three fully documented launches, and the tablet stand in particular signals that EPOMAKER is pitching it as a desk centerpiece rather than a pure typing tool. Whether the bottle-cap keycap profile holds up to extended typing sessions remains a question the spec sheet cannot fully answer, but the aluminium plate and dye-sub PBT caps suggest EPOMAKER put more than cosmetic effort into the build.
