I'm not intimately familiar with EpicGear's back catalog of gaming hardware, but looking over the company's website it seems like the Defiant is a bit of a departure. Rather than focusing on flashy imagery and aggressive design, the Defiant seems to be a...
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...

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...

EpicGear has designed a very unique and useful keyboard in the DeFiant and we think that there will be a lot of gamers interested in the features it offers. The build quality is great considering the price point and the EG MMS switches, the main selling p...
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...

Now I am been using the Defiant as my main keyboard for the past few weeks and I do have to say it is rather enjoyable. Typically if I am not a fan of a keyboard once my review is done I instantly go back to my go-to keyboard, but I am still using the Def...

It's nice that EpicGear never ceases to go through innovation. No matter what you think about the brand of switches EpicGear, the possibility of replacing them is very interesting. But how many users will want to replace the keyboard switches? Good questi...

Abstract: My friends have always told me that a mechanical keyboard is the way to go. Every time I play games with these friends, I can hear the clickity-clack of their keyboards coming over voice chat. It lets me know that they are actually doing their job – bring...

I always try to use every keyboard that we review as my personal keyboard for at least a week. My typical weekly usage includes a lot of typing (about 100-150 pages), a few hours of gaming and some casual usage, such as internet browsing and messaging. Th...
