Product Description

The EPOMAKER Flamingo is a high-performance linear switch designed for users who want ultra-smooth key travel paired with a touch of springy feedback. It features a 47g actuation force and an extended 22mm dual-stage spring, which provides a soft initial press followed by a fast, energetic return—ideal for fluid gaming and fatigue-free typing. Pre-lubed from the factory, the Flamingo delivers a polished experience out of the box with minimal scratch and consistent travel across the board.

Aesthetically, the Flamingo lives up to its name with a vibrant pink housing and a transparent top that pairs well with RGB builds. The overall sound profile is soft and thocky, especially when combined with polycarbonate or gasket-mounted boards. While it doesn't offer tactility or click, its smooth, silent action makes it a favorite for fans of fast linear input who still want character in their typing feel.

Whether you're building a theme-heavy setup or just looking for an affordable, mod-friendly linear switch, the EPOMAKER Flamingo strikes an excellent balance between performance, feel, and visual flair.

User Feedback

Users generally regard the Flamingo as one of EPOMAKER’s best linear offerings in terms of out-of-box feel and price-to-performance ratio. The standout feature is the long 22mm spring, which many users say gives the switch a slightly more “alive” and bouncy feeling compared to more static linears like Gateron Yellows or Cherry Reds. This makes it particularly popular among gamers who need fast key returns and typists who want a bit of rebound without losing smoothness.

The factory lubing receives positive marks for consistency and application—most users say there’s no immediate need to re-lube, although some enthusiasts still do for fine-tuning. The sound is often described as “pleasantly soft” or “mid-thock,” making it well-suited for shared spaces when paired with dampened cases or foam builds.

A few users mention that the housing tolerances aren’t ultra-tight, so switch films can improve performance on looser boards, but this is expected at this price point. The Flamingo is especially recommended for those upgrading from stock linear switches and looking for something more premium-feeling without jumping into boutique pricing territory.
