I've had this Epomaker Keyboard 84 Plus for about two years, and I did not like the keycaps and the switches that it came with. I added a MOA set of keycaps that I got from AliExpress, but for some reason I did not like it that much. I love the keycap set, but I just don't love it in this keyboard. Or any other keyboard for that matter.

I don't know what was going on with me that I ended up buying other keyboards (and I now I own like 5 or 7) for completely entire different reasons, and then I decided that I was just going to get rid of this one. Then I also got super crazy and I bought like a tonne of keycap sets on AliExpress. I said to myself, "you know what? Let's add some cute keycaps to this board and see how we like it."

And omg! It looks super cuteeeeeee! 🥹

Something that I loved about this set is that it has the little paws as keycaps, so I don't have to look down while I'm writing to make sure that I'm touching the arrow keys. It adds a sensory help with this, and I love it now.

And this was my second keyboard. My first one ever was the epomaker RT100 in pink, and I realised that I did not like keyboards with a numpad. I then got the 84 plus, and I realised that I also don't like when keyboards come all compacted and all the keys are like smashed together. I like to have that little gap in the arrow keys.

I'm so happy I managed to bring this guy back to life! Now I need to find a good set of silent switches and see how I like it. If not, perhaps the Yunzii candy switches could do the trick to make it sound like the Yunzii C98 with the candy switches.

Hey guys, I have a simple question (for me) to ask regarding keeping your DRM books while waiting for a newer working method to remove the DRM.

I already tried my best to scower the sub to find working ways to remove the DRM and they're either no longer working or I'm just too dumb to understand how they work and give up...

So, my question is: can I just extract the azw files from My Kindle Content folder, store them somehwere else and remove the DRM once a reliable working method surfaces? At this point, there's nothing else I'm able to do it seems.

My plan is the following:

Exact the azw files from MKC folder
Move them to calibre, where they show up as a KFX-zip
Wait for a calibre DRM method to work and then get my books one day... or wait for someone to throw them into the sea and see if I can find them... Which would suck because I already bought them...

If my "plan" doesn't work, what's the best method to at least get the files and deDRM them later when a method works? I googled and it seems that the azw file is the actual book that gets converted into a KFX-zip file in calibre when the DRM plugin failed to remove the DRM. So when I press O and it opens the containing folder, it shows me this:

Translation: Archivo = file | this is the azw file I added from MKC folder to calibre which I then opened from calibre and it shows up as a KFX-zip file

And if I add that same file (KFX-zip) back to calibre it'll show up like this, with the book cover, title, and author:

Book added back to calibre from calibre's containing folder

But when I copy the azw book files from MKC folder to another folder in my Documents, and add them to calibre, they show up like this:

folder where I added the azw files from MKC folder

Then it shows on calibre like this:

example of azw file added to calibre from the #DRM Books folder

And like this:

So I'm a bit lost on the difference between the two and what to do to at least make sure I have my purchased books saved into either calibre or a folder outside My Kindle Content folder once kindle for pc stops being supported...

I also apologies if I'm getting confused and overcomplicating things. My end goal is to just have the book files saved in my pc and deDRM them eventually when a working method come to live.

Thank you!

All this keeb needed was a set of cute keycaps for it to come back to live! 🥹🙂‍↕️
