Too much of the keyboard's functionality is sold separately

Too much of the keyboard's functionality is sold separately, Build quality is not the best, The backlighting is poor, The software suite is also dated and clunky, Even if you do buy the extra switches, the share the same actuation weight and distance, I f
The EpicGear DeFiant keyboard may seem interesting thanks to the hot-swappable switches, but overall, I am quite disappointed with it.For starters, it is not very attractive – there is nothing about the design which makes you go ‘wow, that looks pretty ne...

PriceThe EpicGear DeFiant isn't easy to find in the UK outside of eBay stores, but it's readily available in many markets and no impossible to get in the UK if you shop around. We found it at Amazon for £118.29, which is pretty on-par with a lot of other...
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...
Sturdy and Quality feel to the build, Modular switches allow easy replacement, Incredibly competitive pricing, Switches feel great to use. Do I dare say that they fell better than Cherry MX Reds and Browns? (Yeah, I do)
None
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...
EG MMS Swappable Keyswitches, Three Keyswitch Types Available, Modular Attachment Points, 9 LED Light Modes, Software Available, Additional Parts Available, Standard Keycap Style
No RGB LED option, Too much bright orange
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...
Qualitymade keyboard, Modular switch design, you can swap them out, Fully backlit, Assassin carrying case, Keyboard completely reprogrammable
Not sure how many people will actually use the modular switch design, Changing light bars to change illumination color seems primitive, Accessories for the keyboard cost extra
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...

The switches are mounted brittle plastic hooks, yet are only 24 sets of switches, By EG Purple switches have to get used, they are quite loud “click through”
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...
