The Epomaker TH80 V2 is a versatile mechanical keyboard that integrates a compact design with extensive customization options. Designed to cater to both standard typists and keyboard enthusiasts, the device brings together a variety of modern features typically found in premium mechanical keyboards.
The keyboard utilizes a 75% layout form factor. This compact design features 79 keys, intentionally omitting the standard numeric keypad to save desk space while still retaining essential function keys, navigation keys, and a dedicated arrow cluster.
One of the most notable additions to the TH80 V2 is its built-in 1.14-inch customizable smart screen. Located in the upper right corner of the board, this small display can be programmed to show system statistics, time, battery life, connection modes, or custom animations and GIFs uploaded by the user.
Internally, the keyboard is constructed using a gasket-mounted structure. This mounting style suspends the plate between layers of sound-absorbing materials rather than screwing it directly into the case. Combined with multiple layers of internal foam, this design is intended to provide a softer typing experience and minimize unwanted acoustic resonance.
The device offers triple-mode connectivity to ensure compatibility across a wide range of hardware. Users can connect the keyboard to their devices using Bluetooth 5.0, a dedicated 2.4GHz wireless USB receiver, or a traditional wired USB Type-C cable. It features physical toggles to switch between Windows and macOS modes seamlessly.
Powering the wireless functionality is a built-in 3000mAh battery. This capacity is designed to maintain connections and power both the customizable screen and the device’s backlighting during extended wireless use.
The keyboard is equipped with a hot-swappable printed circuit board (PCB) that supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. This allows users to easily pull out and replace switches without the need for soldering. Additionally, the PCB features south-facing RGB LEDs, which typically offer better illumination for the user and prevent interference with Cherry-profile keycaps.
For software customization, the Epomaker TH80 V2 is fully programmable via VIA software. This open-source compatibility permits users to easily remap keys, create custom macros, and adjust the RGB lighting schemes across different layers, providing a highly personalized typing interface.
