Apos Audio has its October sale running now. The headline numbers are up to 65% off mechanical keyboards, 40% off Apos Ensembles, and up to 30% off Apos Certified open-box gear, plus 10–12% off the audio side (TOPPING, Moondrop, xDuoo, SMSL, Gustard, Audalytic, Singxer, D&A, VMV, and Ladder).
No Apos discount code is needed. The sale price is applied at checkout on every marked item, so what the product page shows is what you pay. Apos announced the sale on October 6, 2026 and has published no end date.
Shop the Apos October Sale In-Stock Keyboards Only
Here's the part most deal roundups skip: the biggest percentages in a sale like this usually sit on items that are already sold out. We went through the collection stock by stock. The honest summary is that the deepest live discounts are on keycap sets, not keyboards — the keyboard side is narrower but still has two worth taking. Below is what's actually discounted and in stock.
Apos October Sale at a Glance
Every price below was in stock when we checked on October 13, 2026, sorted by how deep the discount runs.
| Product | Sale price | Was | Off | What's left in stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCS Midnight keycaps | $5 | $17 | 71% | WASD and arrows kit |
| SA Calm Depths keycaps | $59.99 | $139.99 | 57% | Full set |
| GMK Hanami Dango keycaps | $54.99 | $99.99 | 45% | Novelties kit |
| WhiteFox Eclipse, aluminum high profile | $185 | $315 | 41% | Yes |
| GMK Deku keycaps | $54.99 | $89.99 | 39% | Novelties kit |
| WhiteFox Eclipse, aluminum low profile | $145 | $225 | 36% | Yes |
| GMK Retrocast keycaps | $149.99 | $229.99 | 35% | Base kit |
| RO75 Compact (Apos Certified) | $119 | $149 | 20% | One open-box unit |
Three things that are quick to miss:
- The only mechanical keyboards still discounted and in stock are the two WhiteFox Eclipse cases and one open-box RO75.
- Four of the keycap entries are down to a single kit, so check which kit the price covers before buying.
- The RO75 and the Zenblade 65 are new to Apos but carry no sale discount.
Keyboards On Sale and In Stock
WhiteFox Eclipse (Aluminum High Profile) — $185, down from $315
The best keyboard discount in the sale at 41% off. The WhiteFox Eclipse is a 65% hot-swap board in a CNC aluminum case with wireless support, and the High Profile version gives you the steeper typing angle of the two cases.
WhiteFox Eclipse (Aluminum Low Profile) — $145, down from $225
Same board, flatter case, 36% off. If you type without a wrist rest or you've found tall boards uncomfortable, this is the one to take — and it's the cheaper entry point into the Eclipse by $40.
RO75 Compact (Apos Certified) — $119, down from $149
An open-box RO75 that Apos has inspected and recertified — 20% off, in Ivory White with Fantasy Dream tactile switches. It's a single unit at that price, so treat it as first-come. Worth knowing: the Ivory White colorway is the top of the regular RO75 price ladder at $149, so this lands you the most expensive finish for less than the cheapest new one.
The RO75 Itself: Not Discounted, But Priced Like It Is
The RO75 isn't part of the sale, but it's new enough to Apos that most people haven't seen it, and the spec sheet is doing something unusual at $109.
It's an 81-key compact board with a CNC-milled 6063 aluminum case, a full-stack gasket mount, and a five-layer dampening stack — PORON foam, IXPE switch pads, PET acoustic sheets, and EPDM underfill. A mirror-polished 304 stainless weight brings it to 3.7 lbs. The top case pops off via four steel ball locks, so swapping switches or foam doesn't mean finding a screwdriver. It's hot-swap, VIA and VIAL compatible, and tri-mode: USB-C, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth for up to three devices.
Pricing runs by colorway, not by features: $109 in Silver, $129 in Space Gray, $149 in Black, Ivory White, or Red. Switch choice is Pink Robin linear or Fantasy Dream tactile at no extra cost. If you want the gasket-mount-aluminum experience and don't care which color it arrives in, the $109 Silver is the whole board for the price of a lot of plastic prebuilts.
Where the Real Discounts Are: Keycaps
This is the part of the sale that earns the "up to 65%" headline. Note that several of these are now down to specific kits — the base or novelty kit is in stock while the rest of the set has sold through — so check which kit you're adding to the cart.
SA Calm Depths — $59.99, down from $139.99
57% off, and the strongest keycap buy in the sale — it's a full set rather than a leftover kit. Designed by CalmB4tehPwn in layered ocean blues over grey modifiers, in the tall spherical SA profile, with enough coverage for everything from a WhiteFox to a Kira.
Genuine SA sets are hard to buy outside of group buys, which is what makes this one notable at all, let alone at $60. If you're new to the profile, our SA keycaps guide covers how SA compares to the KSA, ASA, and OSA takes on it.
GMK Hanami Dango (Novelties) — $54.99, down from $99.99
45% off. Hectellian's take on the pink-white-green Japanese sweet, in Cherry profile from GMK. The Novelties kit is the only one left in stock, so this is an add-on for a build you're already assembling rather than a full set — but it's a GMK novelty kit at nearly half off.
GMK Deku (Novelties) — $54.99, down from $89.99
39% off. The My Hero Academia set — teal and white alphas with Japanese sublegends and a red PLUS ULTRA novelty. Again a Novelties kit, not the base.
GMK Retrocast (Base) — $149.99, down from $229.99
35% off, and unlike the two above, this one is the Base kit — the part you actually need to cover a board. Handheld-gaming nostalgia in mint and teal with yellow and red A/B novelties.
DCS Midnight — kits from $5
The cheapest thing in the sale worth buying. Matt3o's 2014 DCS set in double-shot ABS from Signature Plastics, pairing near-black alphas with phosphorescent modifiers that glow once the lights go out. Sold as kits, and the leftovers are priced to clear:
- WASD and Arrows — $5, down from $17
- ISO — $5, down from $14
- Numpad Midnight, Numpad Twilight, and Additional Mods — $10 each, down from $24
At $5 for the WASD and arrow cluster, this is an easy way to put a glow-in-the-dark accent on a board you already own without rehousing the whole thing.
Also New: the Zenblade 65
Not on sale, but new to the lineup and relevant if you're shopping the magnetic-switch side of things. The Zenblade 65 from Pwnage is a 65% Hall effect board in a full CNC aerospace-grade aluminum chassis, with actuation tunable in 0.01mm steps, rapid trigger, 8KHz polling, RGB, and onboard memory. In-stock configurations are $249.

Before You Buy
A few things worth knowing about this particular sale:
- No code needed. Discounts are applied to marked items at checkout.
- No end date has been announced. Apos hasn't published a deadline for the October sale, so there's no countdown to race — but there's also no guarantee of how long the pricing holds.
- Check availability before you trust a percentage. A lot of the steepest markdowns in the collection are on boards that have already sold through. Everything on this page was in stock when we checked it on October 13, 2026.
- "Apos Certified" means open box. These are inspected and recertified returns, usually a single unit per listing, and they're often where the deepest discount sits.
The sale runs much wider than keyboards — the audio side covers DACs, amps, and headphones from a long list of brands, and Apos Ensembles (pre-matched gear bundles) are 40% off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an Apos Audio discount code for the October sale?
No. The October sale needs no discount code or coupon. Apos applies the sale price directly at checkout on every marked item, so the price on the product page is the price you pay.
When does the Apos Audio October sale end?
Apos has not published an end date. The sale was announced on October 6, 2026 and was still running on October 13, 2026. Because there is no stated deadline, there is also no guarantee of how long each price holds.
What is the biggest discount in the Apos October sale?
Among items still in stock, the deepest cuts are on keycaps rather than keyboards. SA Calm Depths is 57% off at $59.99, down from $139.99. The best in-stock keyboard discount is the WhiteFox Eclipse with the aluminum high profile case at $185, down from $315, which is 41% off.
What does Apos Certified mean?
Apos Certified is the label Apos Audio puts on open-box and refurbished stock that it has inspected and recertified. These listings are often a single unit, and they usually carry the steepest discount on a given product. In this sale they run up to 30% off.
Are the mechanical keyboards in the Apos sale in stock?
Some are, and many of the steepest markdowns are not. Several boards showing 50% or more off had already sold through when we checked the collection on October 13, 2026. Every product on this page was in stock at that time.
