Pros & Cons
Pros
Epomaker theory th80 fits my use case rather well. I'm shocked at how good the keyboard is considering it's under $100. The th66 is such a great product for a low price.
Music mode is neat, and per key lighting is fun to mess around with. Rgb lighting itself is very bright, and the leds are south-facing, which eliminates potential interference with cherry profile keycaps. Large battery keeps it running for an extended... Read More
Keycaps are thick pbt with a semi-matte finish on the typing surface and feel extremely nice. The keycaps are good quality, but feel really awkward to type on because of the mda profile. Keycaps look awesome and it feels great totype on.
The pin-swap style blues seem to reset after a press noticeably quicker, so these also game very well for clicky switches.
Great keyboard, working on macos wirelessly without issues. Wired mode works exactly how it should and bluetooth seemlessly switches between 3 devices. Ghz works with the dongle. Bt connectivity is consistently stable and have no issues there whatsoev... Read More
Cons
Rgb color consistency is uneven and seems to be differing qualities throughout the board. Even when trying to turn it off, the ctrl key is lit a constant green. The rgb is random and doesn't allow for any customization unless you run very shady softwa... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Overall, you cannot beat the quality packed in this keyboard for a price below $100.
The quality of the dye-sub is mostly excellent.
The quality and sound is 10x better than any prebuilt you can get on the market.
I did not use the software for during my review period, as i was mostly satisfied with the stock shortcuts.
Price
The price is the best there is, and with the gateron yellow switches it feels and sounds great.
I got the epomaker theory th80 in gateron pro yellows and it is the best sounding and felliing keyboard i have used and the pri... Read More
If this was custom it would be 4x the price.
You can replace keycaps to enable this feature but stock keycaps are awesome.
Shipping
Honestly the shipping speed was not the best but the keyboard itself is amazing!
Packaging/appearance
Shipping was fast and packaging was fantastic!
The consistency of the factory lube on the gateron pro black switches is good for the most part but there are some keys which a... Read More
I swapped out the keycaps and the knob.
Competitiveness
my first mechanical keyboard was a razor blackwidow v2.
The pin-swap style blues seem to reset after a press noticeably quicker, so these also game very well for clicky switches.
The blue switches in this application give some of the best positive engagement i’ve experienced for a clicky, tactile switch.
Besides the board itself, the package included a user manual, a keycap puller, and a braided usb-c to usb-a cable.
