Womier SK80 Review — A $50 75% Screen-Keyboard With A Real Color Display, Sold Under An Aliasing Brand


Reviewed Product
SK80 75% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Color Multimedia Display, Creamy Sound, Wireless$48.73 – $63.35 USD
TL;DR
First a brand correction: this product is the **XVX/Womier SK80**, not Epomaker (the BSR audit captured the SKU under a generic 'Epomaker / SK family' label that's wrong; Amazon listing ASIN B0C9ZJHQHM ships from Womier, sometimes co-branded XVX). What it actually is: a 75% wired hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with a small color GIF/info display in the upper right, gasket mount, pre-lubed switches, and PBT keycaps for ~$50. The Womier SK80 Pro is the wireless variant. Coverage is thin — only one substantive English long-form review and a few smaller pieces — but the product is real and the screen is real.
Verdict: Buy
Pros
- +Color GIF/info display in the upper-right corner is genuinely functional — caps lock, connection mode, system info, custom GIFs (up to 144 frames per owner reports)
- +Gasket mount + EVA positioning plate at $50 — Womier spec calls out 'soft and responsive feel'
- +Pre-lubed linear switches with south-facing diffusers — out-of-box typing experience above $50 norm
- +Hot-swappable PCB compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin switches
- +Themed designs (Kanagawa, anime collabs) make it stand out vs. the generic budget pack
Cons
- −Brand attribution is a mess — sold as XVX, Womier, and (in the Aula MDX file) mislabeled as Epomaker. Buy by ASIN, not by brand
- −Screen has no brightness controls per owner reports — it's full-on or off
- −Backplate is plastic with no screws — modding the case is hard / impossible without breaking clips
- −Coverage is thin — only one substantive English long-form review I could verify, plus the Womier official page; not the depth of the F75 / RK84 / K673
- −The product MDX claims wireless tri-mode — incorrect for the base SK80 (wired-only). The SK80 Pro is the wireless variant; verify which one you're buying

The Womier SK80 — to use the brand name that's actually on the product, despite the ClackPicks product file mislabeling it as Epomaker — is a $50 wired 75% mechanical with a small color GIF display in the upper right corner. That's the entire pitch. Themed designs (Kanagawa wave, anime collabs), gasket mount, pre-lubed linears, hot-swap PCB. The screen is real, the build is competent, the price is competitive.
Coverage for this product is genuinely thin compared to the rest of this review series, and I want to lead with that honesty: I have one substantive English long-form review (TheGamingMecca, behind a Cloudflare wall that limited my full-text fetch but loaded for human readers per HEAD check), the official Womier spec page, one YouTube long-form (XVX S K80 Review and Sound Test), and exactly one Reddit thread that mentions the SK80 — and that mention is a passing reference from an owner asking about GIF frame limits across competing screen-keyboards. There are no upvoted r/MechanicalKeyboards build threads, no r/budgetkeebs review threads. This isn't a forum-darling product; it's a TikTok product.
What you're actually getting
A 75% gasket-mount keyboard with a real color display. Per the Womier official spec page: "The keyboard has a DIY multimedia display screen design in the upper right corner that allows you to visualize custom GIF images, caps lock status, connection mode, WIN/MAC settings, system info, backlit brightness/speed, RGB mode/color, volume, and language." (product page) Owner-confirmed in the r/keyboards GIF-limit thread: "I have a xvx womier sk80 and it's gif limit pretty large at the moment I'm running a 144 frame gif."
Pre-lubed linear switches with south-facing transparent diffusers. Per the Womier spec: "The pre-lubed linear switches with south-facing transparent light diffusers provide a comfortable keystroke feeling and amazing out-of-the-box clean typing sound, with a hot-swappable PCB compatible with 3Pin or 5Pin switches." South-facing LEDs are the right choice for shine-through legends — most budget boards still use north-facing because it's cheaper.
EVA positioning plate, gasket mount, RGB. The Womier spec calls out "EVA positioning plate and bottom filling for a soft and responsive feel, with a gasket mount design that enhances stability and reduces typing noise" plus "19 lighting effects as well as 9 lighting colors, with adjustable brightness and flow rate."
How it actually performs in owners' hands
This is where coverage thins out hard. The strongest single owner data point is the r/keyboards GIF-limit thread: the OP owns an XVX Womier SK80 and is using its 144-frame GIF capacity to compare against an alternative — the BoyiC75 Pro with 106-frame limit. Indirect endorsement: the SK80's display capacity is actually in the higher tier among screen-keyboards.
Per TheGamingMecca's review (behind a Cloudflare wall but indexed in search): users praise "the pleasant sound and light switches, with high-quality graphics on both the keycaps and frame." Common complaints noted: "the screen doesn't have brightness controls, the backplate is plastic, and there are no screws on the backplate for easy disassembly for modding."
The Reddit ecosystem hasn't latched onto the SK80 the way it did the F75 or RK84. There are no canonical "I bought one and modded it" threads. There is no /r/Womier subreddit. The SK80 lives on Amazon, TikTok, and Womier's own site — fine for a buyer who knows what they want, harder for someone trying to crowdsource validation.
Where it falls short
Brand attribution is messy enough to actually cause buying mistakes. The product is officially Womier (sometimes co-branded as XVX or Womier × XVX). Amazon listings under the same ASIN sometimes show as "XVX Mechanical" in the URL slug. The ClackPicks product MDX has it as "Epomaker / SK family (verify)" — Epomaker is wrong; they don't make this product. When buying, search Amazon for "Womier SK80" or "XVX S K80." Searching "Epomaker SK80" returns either no results or unrelated TH80-series products.
The wireless-spec mismatch. The product MDX claims tri-mode wireless: this is incorrect for the base SK80, which is wired-only. The SK80 Pro is the wireless variant. The Womier official site lists both as separate products. If wireless matters to you, double-check the listing photo and title before buying.
No screen brightness control. Per owner reports cited in TheGamingMecca's review summary: the screen is on or off — no dimming. For a keyboard you'd use in a dim room, this is a real ergonomic limitation.
Backplate has no screws. Same source: "there are no screws on the backplate for easy disassembly." If you wanted to mod the case (PE foam, tape mod, anything internal), you're going to break clips. For a $50 keyboard this is the expected build trade-off, but it's worth knowing before you decide whether to mod.
Coverage thin enough that I can't fully cross-validate. This review has fewer crowd-evidence sources than any of the other six in this batch. The product clearly exists, sells, and works (1,500 Amazon reviews at 4.7 stars validate that). But I can't promise you the picture I just painted is as complete as the one I painted for the K556 or F75 Pro. If you want crowd validation before buying, you won't get it for the SK80 the way you would for the better-documented boards.
Should you buy it?
Buy if you specifically want a screen-keyboard with custom GIF support, you want hot-swap and gasket mount at the $50 price point, you don't need wireless (or you're buying the SK80 Pro), and you're OK buying based on a single substantive review plus official spec rather than a deep crowd-evidence track record.
Skip if you want a wireless 75% with a screen — the SK80 Pro variant exists but the Aula F75 Pro screen variants and the Epomaker TH80 Pro V2 have more developed support communities. Skip if you want to mod the case (clip-only construction makes it a bad target). Skip if community validation matters more to you than the spec sheet.
Wait if you're cross-shopping at $50-70 and you don't strictly need the screen — the Redragon K673 Pro at the same price is wireless tri-mode, has Tom's Guide press behind it, and gets you a knob in place of the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the product MDX say 'Epomaker SK80' when the keyboard is Womier?
Because the BSR audit pulled an ASIN (B0C9ZJHQHM) without verifying the brand attribution. The Amazon listing for that ASIN, the Womier official site, the Newegg listing, and the Walmart listing all say 'XVX/Womier S-K80' or 'Womier SK80' — none of them say Epomaker. Epomaker makes a different screen-keyboard line (TH80 Pro V2, G84 Pro, Shadow X). When buying the SK80, search for 'Womier SK80' or 'XVX SK80' on Amazon, not 'Epomaker SK80' (which would either return no results or take you to the wrong product).
Is the screen actually useful?
Reasonably so. Per the Womier spec page, the display shows: 'caps lock status, connection mode, WIN/MAC settings, system info, backlit brightness/speed, RGB mode/color, volume, and language' alongside custom GIFs you upload via Womier's software. The r/keyboards 'Keyboards with screens question' thread — where the OP literally owns an XVX Womier SK80 — confirms the GIF limit is large: 'I have a xvx womier sk80 and it's gif limit pretty large at the moment I'm running a 144 frame gif.' Brightness control reportedly missing per other owner notes.
SK80 or SK80 Pro?
Base SK80 is wired-only. The SK80 Pro adds wireless (BT + 2.4GHz). The product MDX in the ClackPicks catalog claims the base SK80 is wireless tri-mode — this appears to be a spec-sheet copy error. If wireless matters to you, search explicitly for 'SK80 Pro' or 'Womier SK80 Pro' to make sure you're getting the wireless variant, which costs about $20 more.
Why such thin coverage compared to other budget boards in this review series?
Because the SK80 sells through TikTok aesthetic appeal more than enthusiast forums. Reddit r/MechanicalKeyboards has zero substantive SK80 threads (one passing mention in a screen-comparison post). The Womier brand has a smaller hobbyist footprint than Royal Kludge, Aula, or Redragon. The keyboard is real and has 1,500 Amazon reviews — it's selling — but the enthusiast community hasn't picked it up the way they did the F75. If you need crowd-validated, look at the K673 Pro or F75 Pro instead.
