The Epomaker TH80 V2 Pro is positioned as a strong contender in the 75% mechanical keyboard market segment.
The unit features a compact 75% ANSI US layout, comprising 78 keys plus one integrated knob. The construction utilizes an ABS Plastic case and PC plate material.
Key technical specifications include tri-mode wireless connectivity (supporting 2.4Ghz, Bluetooth, and USB Wired), compatibility with both Mac and WIN systems, and the integration of an LCD screen. Typing angle adjustments are available in two stages, while the keyboard dimensions measure 32.3 x 14.1 x 4.7cm.
Internal design features focus on sound optimization and flexibility. The unit employs a Gasket-Mounting structure with plate-mounted stabilizers. Sound optimization is achieved through a sophisticated 5-Layer Dampening system, which includes Noise-Absorbing Foam, Switch Pad, Sound Enhancement Pad, Switch Socket Pad, and Bottom Silicone.
The keyboard also features hot-swappable PCB technology, supporting RGB backlighting and anti-ghosting functionality. Power capacity is notable with a 10000mAh battery, engineered to potentially last over 200 hours of use.
The available keycap configurations include black dye-sub printed PC plastic keys and white/pink double-shot PBT plastic keycaps.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the box design is characterized by a black and orange exterior. The packaging features minimal, yet relevant, information, with the brand logo placed on the top left and the product name visible at the bottom left of the front face.
The TH80 V2 Pro’s operational experience involves customization through Epomaker’s web software, eliminating the need for downloads. Structurally, the device includes gasket socks on the edge of the plate, offering a good amount of bounce during typing.
Furthermore, the inclusion of a silicone pad in the bottom case helps achieve a less hollow sound profile and prevents the PCB from bottoming out.
At a stated price point of $78 USD at press time, the Epomaker TH80 V2 Pro presents itself as an option offering advanced features like a tiny LCD screen and substantial battery longevity for users seeking a compact 75% mechanical keyboard.
