With dimensions of 524 x 240 x 57 mm and the weight of nearly 2 kilograms, the Dezimator is a very sturdy and solid keyboard. Epic Gear has chosen to use durable materials such as aluminum, which covers the top of the keyboard. The layout is standard, on the left side there are five macro keys and on the upper right corner there are different indicators for "Caps Lock", "Num Lock" and "Scroll Lock". In addition, in the same area, Epic Gear has positioned a wheel that adjusts the volume. Like all high-end gaming keyboard the Dezimator uses CherryMX switches. In our case, these were Cherry MX Red switches, but there is also a version with Cherry MX Brown switches as well.

   


To add more functionality to the Dezimator, Epic Gear equipped it with a FN button located right next to the ALT GR key. The F keys, from F5 to F8, have a dual multimedia function. Despite the fact that the keyboard is defined as backlit, not all the keycaps can claim this feature. The backlight can be adjusted using FN + F12 and illuminate only the warzone area (WASD + number 1-6) and the macro keys. There are different levels of backlight and, in addition, under the body of the keyboard there is another big red LED which gives the Dezimator an extra aggressive touch.

If you flip the Dezimator you will realize that this product is quite heavy, almost 2 kg! The weight is certainly not a problem, it is rather a very positive aspect and also thanks to the huge rubber non-slip area, it will not move from your desk even during the most intense gaming sessions. On the rear you can find the two feet, which you get with every keyboard. On the rear profile, there are two USB 2.0 ports and a small panel audio. Despite that connections have been well integrated into the body of the keyboard, we unfortunately found some trouble inserting large USB flash drives such as our Corsair Voyager USB3.0. The cable is also on a high level of quality and comes sleeved in black and red color scheme.
