I have reviewed some budget keyboards on this channel, and most of the time with some exceptions these budget keyboards are just not worth it. However, this keyboard, the Womier SK75, is amazing and I would recommend everyone to try it. I made no modifications to the keyboard while testing it, I used it entirely stock.
Review
In 2024, the market for budget keyboards has gotten bigger. There are so many choices within $100, and many people just don’t know what to get. Retailing for just $88 on Amazon, the Womier SK75 is a solid budget keyboard with many pros.
The Womier SK75 comes in 6 different colors, and it is a very pretty keyboard. The keycaps blend in very well with the aesthetic, and the Aluminum chassis feels premium and has a good matte finish. The keyboard weighs 2.93 pounds, which is a little heavy.
The Womier SK75 is a 75% keyboard, and it doesn’t have a knob or a little screen. The gasket performance out of the box is very stiff, and some people may prefer that, but you won’t get a bouncy feel when typing on this keyboard. The board is hot-swappable, it has 5-pin switches, south-facing LEDs, and decent stabilizers. The switches are the Womier POM linear switches, and despite the gasket’s stiffness the keyboard does feel pleasant to type on. A notable con is that this board has no other switch options, you are stuck with the Womiers. The keycaps are double-shot PBT cherry profile keycaps.
The plate tolerances are bad, most of the time when you try to pull off a keycap the switch comes off with it. The on/off switch is not visible on the top or the back of the Womier SK75, it is under the caps lock keycap. This keyboard also has software support for VIA, which you can use to reprogram your keyboard and set macros. Although the Womier SK75 has wireless support, I prefer using it wired. The RGB also lights up well and is miles better than most of the keyboards within this price point.
The Womier SK75 is not the most modding friendly as to disassemble it you have to take out all the switches and keycaps and all the bottom screws. There is just 1 layer of foam in the case and two other layers of foam between the PCB and the plate. Also, the flex-cut PCB makes it quite a pain to reassemble the Womier SK75 again.

Verdict
The Womier SK75 has a good build, good keycaps, good switches, and good software. Although it doesn’t have a knob or a screen and assembling and taking it apart do take a lot of time, that is everything to not like about it. As for the price, I really can’t complain about anything as we do have to make some sacrifices when getting a budget keyboard. Before getting the Womier SK75, I would also recommend everyone to take a look at the Epomaker Tide 75, another great budget keyboard.
