EpicGear DeFiant EG MMS Mechanical Keyboard Review

Packaging

Not much in terms of accessories inside the box, you can get additional kits such as macro keys, palm rest and USB-C add-ons separately. If you look closely at the manual/leaflet included you will see a key removal  tool included.

The design of the DeFiant is pretty basic. Apart from the scroller in the top right corner, it does look like a black version of a keyboard you would get bundled with a pre-built PC from Dell. The DeFiant features white LED backlighting with minimal light spilling around the keys. All of the keys are backlit, but the Fn and PgUp/PgDn buttons also serve as indicators and are being illuminated only when they are activated.

This is where things get interesting. The EpicGear Mechanical Switch pack is a set of 24 keys (8 grey, 8 orange and 8 purple) and a key removal tool so that you can change individual keys on the DeFiant to have it just the right feel for you. EpicGear is using their own proprietary mechanical switches on the Defiant, so the colours do not match up to Cherry switches, but I did find that the purple switches are very similar to that of Cherry blues.
