The Luma100 redefines what a compact mechanical keyboard can be. Unlike traditional designs that force users to choose between portability and functionality, it squeezes in a near-full-size layout—complete with a number pad—into a slim 23 mm profile while keeping its weight under 620 grams. This balance of size and usability is rare in low-profile keyboards, which often compromise on either stability or space efficiency.
Its custom Gateron Low-Profile 2.0 switches stand out not just for their clear PC housings and light green stems but also for their refined feel. These switches work seamlessly with ABS DSA keycaps that feature shine-through legends, ensuring perfect alignment with the north-facing RGB backlighting beneath them. The design shifts from the ortholinear layout seen in Epomaker’s smaller Luma40 to a more conventional row-staggered arrangement, which improves usability for those accustomed to standard keyboard layouts.

The gasket mount provides better stability than its predecessor’s tray mount, reducing wobble during intense typing or gaming sessions. The 96% layout ensures the number pad remains accessible without adding unnecessary bulk, making it ideal for both office work and gaming setups. Wireless connectivity via 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth, paired with a 3,000 mAh battery, allows it to seamlessly switch between laptops, desktops, and gaming consoles without being tethered.
Deep customization is another highlight, thanks to VIA support, which lets users remap keys, adjust backlighting, and program macros—though this requires uploading a JSON file for the software to recognize the keyboard. For those who prioritize compactness but still demand a full-size experience, the Luma100 delivers without compromise. The aluminum build ensures durability, while its lightweight design makes it perfect for travel or desk switching.
However, users accustomed to ortholinear layouts may find the row-staggered design less ergonomic over extended sessions. Availability and pricing are still unconfirmed, but if this follows Epomaker’s previous releases, it could set a new benchmark for premium low-profile keyboards that don’t skimp on features.
