Product Description
About this item 【The Special Edition of EPOMAKER TH80】As every new year offers an exciting opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings, EPOMAKER is bringing a special edition of the highly-praised TH80 mechanical keyboard to the community. The contrasting colors of vivid purple and black colorway, the upgraded software, and the brand-new structural design all contributes this masterpiece of EPOMAKER Team. 【Fully Upgraded Software for More Possibilities】EPOMAKER TH80 SE mechanical keyboard features the upgraded EPOMAKER Software and chip that can automatically check Win/Mac mode, check battery status(FN+B), keyboard mode and programmable Fn Layers(FN+Spacebar). More than that, a variety of default RGB effects that you can easily switch between each other with simple shortcuts. 【Three Modes of Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0&2.4GHz&Type-C Cable】Like TH80 PRO, the TH80 SE is equipped with a 4000mah large capacity battery that supports wireless and wired connections. By the wireless option, either Bluetooth (up to 5.0) or 2.4GHz can be chosen, and the polling rate can be up to 1000hz with 2.4GHz. By the wired mode, macro can be programmed to better fit your typing habits. The modes can be easily switched by Fn+1/2/3(Bluetooth) / 4(2.4GHz) / 5(USB Wired). 【Hot Swappable Custom Mechanical Switches】For this model, we go with Gateron Pro switches and EPOMAKER custom switches. Switches are factory pre-lubricated for smooth travel straight out of the box, each switch features excellent consistency and durability. Thanks to the hot swappable sockets, it can accommodate a variety of 3/5 pin mechanical switches, making installation like a breeze, while a 50-million-keystroke lifespan means you won’t need to swap out your set anytime soon. 【75% Layout Mechanical Gaming Keyboard】With built-in modularity for everything from connectivity to switches, the TH80 SE is a keyboard for those who like to change things up. The favored 75% layout offers both typing comfort and space consciousness that both good for gaming and work. Programmable metal rotary knob allows for extra control of your setup. 【PBT Keycaps in Cherry Profile & Double Shot Technique】Every detail on TH80 SE keyboard is a new beginning. This time we choose the classic Cherry Profile PBT keycaps with double shot technique to ensure a most comfortable and ergonomic typing experience. Top-grade PBT keycaps are often considered the top choice for keycaps materials, even over ABS keycaps, as PBT is much more durable, oil-resistant and stays true to color.
Customer Reviews
-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.
