Epomaker Reveals Luma100 Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard With Custom Gateron Switches

One of the Epomaker keyboards we spotted at CES 2026 was the charming little Luma40, which is apparently being followed up by its polar opposite, at least in terms of the layout and form factor. The recently announced Epomaker Luma100 is a 96% wireless mechanical keyboard that packs much of the benefits of a full-size mechanical keyboard into a slim, compact form factor. The Luma100 is not yet available on the Epomaker site, but the product page has launched, giving us a good idea of what to expect from the new low-profile mechanical keyboard. The Luma100 measures in at 37.1 × 12.85 cm with a stated 23 mm front height—presumably with keycaps installed. Aside from the low-profile design, all-aluminium chassis, and the 96% layout that preserves the num pad in a more compact footprint, the Luma100 has a number of interesting features that might interest potential buyers.

The most obvious difference between the Luma40 and the Luma100 is the layout, but the Luma100 also has a gasket mount, as opposed to the tray mount of the Luma40. The Luma100 also uses much more conventional keycaps, with ABS DSA low-profile keycaps with shine-through legends to match the Luma100’s north-facing RGB backlighting. Additionally, the Luma100 follows a much more conventional row-staggered layout, ditching the Luma40’s ortholinear design. The switches in the Luma100 are similar to the Luma84’s, though, being that they seem to be based on the Gateron Low-Profile 2.0 switch standard, although it seems as though Epomaker has commissioned a custom switch for the Luma100, since the switches shown off in a recent unboxing video are unlike other Gateron switches, featuring clear PC housings and a light green stem.

The Luma100 comes with a slim folio case, which is a nice touch for on-the-go users, and it weighs in at just 0.62 kg, which is very light for an aluminium keyboard and should make it significantly more portable. The 96% keyboard can connect to host devices with either USB Type-C wired, 2.4 GHz, or Bluetooth connectivity, and it has a 3,000 mAh battery life to back up those wireless connections. The Luma100 is compatible with VIA for remapping, backlighting customization, and macro creation, although you’ll need to upload a JSON file for the open-source customization utility to recognize the keyboard.
