PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Ergo Alice layout With A Numpad
As the traditional Alice-layout keyboard is so popular amongst enthusiasts, many people still miss the numpad. Here we are! With this Alice98 layout, Feker adds a numpad to the alice-split keyboard. The letters and the bottom row are angled at a certain degree to fit the direction of your hands when staying on the desk naturally. The spacebar is split into two pieces to be accommodate this design. It is considered to reach a balance at the aspect of ergonomics. Apart from the typical Alice features, the Feker’s Alice goes further with a media control knob. Like other Alice keyboards, you can still lay your hands on the keyboard freely and increase comfortable typing experiences simultaneously.
Triple Modes: Type-C Wired, Bluetooth 5.0 & 2.4GHz Available
The Feker Alice98 supports connection via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz for wireless connectivity, or with the included Type-C USB cable. With Bluetooth 5.0, it easily connects seamlessly with your devices within 10 meters. Equipped with an 8000 mAh battery, the keyboard is also easily switched among the three modes for efficient multitasking and speedy performance.
Gasket Mount, PC Plate & Sound Absorption Foams
To reach a top typing experience, Feker Alice98 is assembled by gasket mount, which is constructed with the PC plate laying on the top and the bottom case perfectly without any screws in the middle, presenting a soft and even typing feeling at each corner of the keyboard. Feker has also made an effort to enhance the sound by placing a set of sound dampening Poron foams: a bottom case Poron foam, a socket Poron foam, a Poron switch sheet, and a Poron PCB foam. These layers can greatly buff keystrokes. All is to provide a stunning typing sound and a premium typing feeling.
LED Screen or Keys Beside the Rotary Knob?
Feker Alice98 comes in two versions: one with LED screen beside the knob and the other with two keys. The Pgup and Pgdn beside the knob the LED screen, the keyboard presents so much fun in customizing and changing your own memes! You can also check the keyboard status on the screen, such as under wired mode, Bluetooth mode, or 2.4G wireless mode. You can even check the date and time with a glimpse.
South-facing LED RGB Backlight & Kailh Winter Switch
Feker Alice features south-facing LED RGB backlights with 21 light effects. This is also perfect with the Kailh Winter Switch which are shine-through with the amazing RGB lights. What’s more, the switches are pre-lubed to increase the smooth sense. With the triggering force of 38gf to be pressed, the tactile switches are perfect on the keyboard to be easily pressed and shine-through.
NKRO & Detachable Type-C Cable
For this model, we go with lubed plate-mounted stabilizers for they are easier to be taken off, if some extra modding are needed. In the meanwhile, the keyboard also supports NKRO. That means you can type in multiple keys without conflicts. The keyboard comes with a 1.8m hand-braided type-C cable with golden plated connectors. Now you can easily build up your own mechanical keyboard with this keyboard!

Customer Reviews
I really wanted to like this keyboard, but after using it for a day (mostly coding), I ended up going back to my Microsoft Natural keyboard. Too many dumb design decisions; off the top of my head:
1. Buggy software (I ended up not using it). You can read more about it on Reddit.
2. It often doesn't turn on when I wake up my computer. You have to unplug and replug the USB cable.
3. There's no way to turn off the glowing "N W C 2.4 BT" strip. It's distracting when I work.
4. The Caps Lock and Num Lock keys have no status LEDs like just about every other keyboard.
5. The left Win and Alt keys are reversed, and I'm not used to this layout because I use the Win keyboard shortcuts A LOT.
6. The edges of the key caps are too sharp, so I'm constantly resting my finger on the H instead of J key because the edge feels like the little bump on the J key. This results in way too many typos and ends up making the keyboard more a pain to type on.
7. Other than having a split layout, there's nothing ergonomic about this keyboard. No pronounced tilt or concave to help with RSS, etc.
Do better next time, Feker.
I hesitated on buying this because of all the bad reviews and mentions of awful software, but have been using a th80x that I’ve had lots of issues with anyway so thought that at least having a numpad would be worth it. Turns out they don’t even make the driver for Mac! This isn’t stated anywhere on this page, and Epomaker still refuses to provide a free return without a restocking fee. I feel misled and so disappointed but hopefully I can find some software that will help AT LEAST have the keyboard show the correct date. Epomaker has offer 15$ to be returned to me, but then I still have a purchased a keyboard for 130$ that I cannot fully use.

The keyboard is super nice and I love it. The drivers for it barely work and come packaged with spyware. If you're going to get this keyboard get it without the screen, because of the garbage drivers the screen is useless.
I ordered the barebones kit in the color "Dark" to begin with. The keyboard I got was well-packaged, and it shipped and arrived quickly (despite the product listing here on the site saying it's a pre-order - it's not). However, the barebones kit I got was not the chocolate-y "Dark" color - it was just plain black. I wrote an e-mail to customer service about it, and I was in regular and polite contact with a customer service rep who offered me options to fix the issue, to include a full refund and free return shipping. That's the option I chose.
(FYI for anyone who is wanting the brown color: The rep told me that the fully-built keyboard comes in the "Dark" color option, but if you select that option for the barebones kit, it only comes in black.)
So, in the end, I ordered the pre-built keyboard in "Dark," and once it got here I changed out the switches and keycaps to my own taste (although the as-is version was actually very attractive, and the Kailh winter tactile switches sounded great). No issues with the RGB so far. Overall, I am happy with this keyboard, and very pleased with the customer service.
I bought mine in July 2023. The other reviews are accurate, would be good if it worked consistently. Love the form factor and the keys are awesome, but it the software is garbage that detects as a virus. The built in functions for controlling the backlight randomly fail. I regret buying this.
