EPOMAKER TH80 Pro 75% Hot Swap RGB 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth 5.0/Wired Gaming Keyboard, with 4000mah Battery, PBT Keycaps, Knob Control for Windows/Mac PS5 PS4 Xbox

The media could not be loaded. Bought this in a pinch to replace my daily driver that i loved dearly. I was going to receive my Osume keycaps in the mail soon and i was really eager to put them on a build as well.I work from home doing data entry so i am typing all day. with my daily driver down i was forced to use a Dell membrane keyboard provided by my work. Once you go mechanical its hard to go back tbh so i was desperate. This keyboard was available for overnight shipping and I trust EPOMAKER as they are really reputable and trustworthy. I figured why not. It arrived in time for my 8 am shift. Was extremely easy to set up- literally just plugged it in and started typing. Before use i was skeptical about the gateron brown switches it came with, but i actually really really quite like these switches to my surprise. I tested the keyboard with Ajazz peach slices, JWK autumn rains, And akko lavander purples. Out of the four, i liked the stock gateron brown switches the most, so i didn’t need to fuss with swapping the switches or really even lubing them. The keyboard really just feels great right out of the box.The RGB modes on this thing are reeeeeally nice and smooth. Super fluid movement w lots of customization. I love how the Caps key illuminates when it’s activated. I also love how hitting FN + 1-4 cycles thru the different connections settings and illuminates the respective key to indicate which connection you’re using.the nob is a really nice function and its cool that pressing it mutes and unmutes the computer.this keyboard is so lovely. if you’re considering buying it, you should. it’s honestly such a good price and its suuuuuuuuuuuper solid

The custom keyboard hobby can be very expensive, so this is a great budget board with a fairly premium feel that still gives you room to customize if you so desire. For reference, I got the 75% size TH80 Pro version of the keyboard with the Monet keycaps and Gateron Pro Yellow switches. For those new to the smaller sized keyboards, an instruction manual is provided that has a guide to setting up the wireless settings, RGB settings, and the function keys combinations for missing special keys.The switches are buttery smooth, the MDA profile keycaps feel great and may just be the best profile I've worked on, and the knob works as expected and has some tactile feedback which is nice.The build of the board feels solid and has more weight to it than I was expecting, but also has a very "thocky" sound to it right out of the box that many enthusiasts strive for. The switches and stabilizers are factory lubed which you can see when removing the keycaps, and best of all, it's hot swappable so you're not stuck with the keycaps and switches that you initially order.If I had any complaints, it's that the stabilizers for the spacebar could probably be dampened a bit more, which some people may do with a bandage strip, but it's a trivial complaint.All in all, I'm very happy with the keyboard. As much as I liked the Monet MDA profile keycaps, I wanted to use my Lord of the Rings MT3 profile caps (purchased separately from Drop) on this board.

This is a great, fun keyboard at an unbeatable price. It's good-looking and functional as is but with hot swapping -- keycaps and switches can be fully replaced for different feel and touch qualities and looks. I love the rainbow LEDs and the dial control. I purchased the Gatreon Red Pro switches and they're quiet enough for the office/shared space and easy to transition to.

-A forewarning for Linux users, the TH80 is not supported in OpenRGB. I would be wary of buying this KB unless you have access to a PC running Windows, so that you can install Epomaker's software to control this board's lighting. Other than macros, which I have no reason to use so I didn't test, lighting and rebinds will save to the KB, so you will not need to be plugged into a Windows PC after you've made any changes you want.-Overall, I was extremely impressed for the $90 I paid. I've used much more expensive KBs in the past. My most recent KBs are a Ducky One 3 and a Keychron K10. Both range from $120-$150 and I have modded both. Compared to those modded, the typing experience out of the box of this KB was of even higher quality than those. If you want a cheap, 75%, high quality experience, KB that you don't want/need to mod, I'm for sure going to recommend this to everyone in the future.-The keycaps were not something I put any thought into when I first ordered this. After using it for a day, I'm in love with these caps. They're by far my favorite, and that's coming from an $80 set from Kinetic Labs. These caps have a very average sound profile. The actual physical profile I love. They're an MDA profile, they have a very rounded edge, a very smooth glossy texture, and are extremely comfortable for all uses. The MDA profile makes my fingers feel almost cushioned in the center of each key on the home row due to its more concave shape.-For switches, I ordered the Budgerigars. If you don't know which switch you want, I highly recommend the Flamingos over any of the other options. For tactile switches, the Budgerigars are VERY tactile. Fun to type on, but my fingers had noticeable strain after a couple hours of gaming. I'm sure I would have gotten used to them, but I also wanted to try out Epomaker's Flamingo switches, which I ordered separately. Both switches are lightly factory lubed. This board goes better with linears or a light tactile switch IMO.-The knob is cool. Mine came with the red one. It's fairly smooth which isn't ideal, but it does have tactile points. Default control is Volume up/down and mute on the click. I prefer it default.-The RGB brightness is adequate. I would say it's bright enough to shine through most non translucent switches just fine. The on-board RGB controls aren't great, so unfortunately you need the software to really do what you want. In my 2 photos, I have the RGB set to a static blue for the entire board. The F row has the Budgerigar switches, and the rest of the board has Hippo Linears. That's why there are 2 different colors.-The software is good. For a KB software, it's above average. Rebinds and RGB settings will save to the board, so you will not have to run it unless you want to change something. You can change things while being used with the 2.4Ghz dongle, not sure about Bluetooth.-Wireless works as expected. Bluetooth is fine, works like all other boards I have that have Bluetooth. 2.4Ghz dongle works as expected. I've seen some others say they cannot use the dongle or have connectivity issues if they have another 2.4Ghz dongle plugged in for another device. I did not experience this. For my use case, I have a 2nd PC running Windows that I have the dongle plugged into, and my main computer I have the KB plugged in with USB. Switching between PCs works surprisingly seamlessly. I press Fn+4 to switch to wireless, to use my Windows PC, then Fn+5 to switch back to wired mode for my Linux PC. From what I can tell, the toggle switch on the bottom of the board just turns the battery on or off. If the battery is set to on, the KB will still function over USB if it's plugged in through USB.-Foam is fine. Comes with 2 pieces. 1 in the bottom of the case, it's very thin, and 1 between the PCB and plate.-Stabilizers are average cheap ones. They have plenty of lube. Mine were loose, so I do recommend bandaid modding them at the very least.-Actual sound of the board is decent. It's deep, like most plastic cases, and very solid. The latter is mostly due to the overall weight. It weights a good amount, almost as much as my full size KBs, which is good.Amazing budget board. Better than a lot of mid range boards.
