Tide65 65% Aluminum Build

The Epomaker Tide65 is a 65 percent layout mechanical keyboard built around a CNC machined 6063 aluminum case. It uses a hot swappable PCB compatible with QMK and VIA firmware for deep key remapping and macro creation. The board includes a programmable metal knob and per key south facing RGB lighting. Three connection modes cover Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless and USB C wired use.

Aluminum Case with Flex Cut FR4 Plate

A full 6063 aluminum chassis provides a rigid foundation that resists flex during heavy typing or gaming sessions. The flex cut FR4 plate sits between the switches and PCB, delivering a firmer feel than polycarbonate while retaining some cushion. Poron, IXPE and PET damping layers absorb ping and rattle for a deeper thocky sound signature. Double shot PBT keycaps with shine through legends complete the stack.

Hot Swappable Switches and Tri Mode Connectivity

The hot swappable sockets accept any three or five pin mechanical switch without soldering, letting owners tailor actuation force and sound on demand. A 2 in 1 puller is included for quick changes. Tri mode wireless covers Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz dongle and USB C cable for desktop, laptop or mobile setups. The compact 66 key layout omits a dedicated function row and numeric keypad, so users who rely heavily on those clusters will need a separate solution.

Questions about this item

Will the 6063 aluminum case throttle performance during marathon gaming sessions?

The CNC 6063 aluminum chassis acts as a large heatsink, so the PCB and battery stay cool even after hours of continuous 2.4 GHz wireless play.

How loud is the typing sound once the Poron, IXPE and PET damping layers settle in?

The triple-layer stack plus the flex-cut FR4 plate and south-facing RGB Zebra linear switches produce a deep thock without metallic ping or rattle.

What devices must I already own to use the three connection modes?

You need a host with Bluetooth, a free USB-A port for the 2.4 GHz dongle, or a USB-C port for wired mode; the keyboard works with PC, Mac, Android and Xbox.
