EPOMAKERTH80-X Gasket Mechanical Keyboard, 75% Layout Triple Mode Hot-swap Gaming Keyboard with 4000mAh Battery, LCD Screen, NKRO, RGB for Office/Win/Mac (Green, Gateron Pro Black)

I recently got my hands on this keyboard and let me tell you, I am IMPRESSED. Initially, I hesitated buying this keyboard because of the reviews. If you are hesitating like I did, you won’t regret it. I rarely write reviews, however, this deserves another 5-star review from me.First thing that caught my eye was the hot swappable feature. As you can see, I have replaced the caps on the keyboard and it was pretty easy to install for someone who has never done it. The keyboard comes with a key switch puller/cap remover which was something I was worried it wouldn’t come with. I switched the switches to the Epomaker budgerigar switches. I had no problem with the flamingo switches at all, as they sound similar to the budgerigar switches in my opinion, except the budgerigar is a little deeper in sound. Anyways, I digress. The customization process was smooth and hassle-free. The typing experience is excellent. The keyboard itself can be adjusted to be slightly elevated for better comfort while typing. This includes for long periods of time.The gif screen is what drove me to buy this keyboard. The screen adds a touch of personality to the keyboard and allows you to display some nice gifs. Although, I had a little trouble figuring out how to customize the screen but I eventually figured out it out.There are two modes you can use it in: wired and wireless. Nice quality keyboard. Totally worth the money. And very functional. I recommend this keyboard to those who want to customize and add personality to their setups!

I'll start by saying I love this keyboard. Love the knob and the ldc screen. The key caps feel nice and the keyboard sounds awesome straight out of the box. I've also not had any issues with the connectivity throught the dongle. I immediately loaded a gif into the screen with the software from the epomaker website, it was so easy. It also feels pretty weighty. I love it.That being said, I bought this keyboard with the intention of modding it. Upon opening it, it became clear to me that this keyboard isn't necessarily for that. It's advertised as gasket mounted and while there are gaskets present the plate it actually screwed into the top half of the case, making it top mounted. So in combination with the iron plate it's the definition of stiff. Even after removing the screws from the plate to have the assembly free floating in the case, the case is so shallow that there is no room for travel. It's also just a little annoying to open because it the top and bottom parts of the case clip together, so you have to use a guitar pick or something to slide them apart carefully.Basically as long as you don't mind a stiff keeb, and the stock sound this is an amazing purchase. For modding not so much but still a very quality buy in my opinion.

Things I didn't like:Right side USB connect. Not sure why they put this on the right side when pretty much everyone does it on the left side.LCD display. A couple super nick picks. Would be nice if they could have hidden that big bezel better. Also the display is a millimeter off centered, cutting of a sliver of the right side (had this problem on both TH80-X keyboards I got).South facing LEDs. I replaced the keycaps with some shine through keycaps. My first time with a mechanical keyboard with south facing LEDs, but apparently that makes it so the light doesn't illuminate the letters. I looked for some keycaps that are designed for south facing LEDs, but came up with nothing. I might try some side printed keycaps, that might work, though I'm not sure I'm a fan of that particular look.Wisteria switches: I am a fan of linear switches. But these are kind of on the loud side, not a fan of the feel or sound. But others might like them of course.Summary: I think a great keyboard over all. Good value, very good quality build. Most of the things I had issues with were minor. However the south facing LEDs are probably deal breakers for me since I want to use shine through keycaps.

The EPOMAKER TH80-X is an outstanding keyboard for both gaming and office use. The 75% layout is compact yet functional, with all the keys I need within easy reach. The Gateron Pro Yellow switches provide a smooth and satisfying typing experience. The triple mode connectivity allows seamless switching between devices, which is great for multitasking. I love the RGB lighting, which is vibrant and customizable. The LCD screen is a nice touch, adding a modern flair. With its 4000mAh battery, it lasts a long time between charges. This keyboard has become an essential part of my setup! On top of that, it sounds quite good.

I bought a number pad by the same brand and I love it. The yellow switches feel and sound great. Decided to buy a keyboard to match. It looks nice, and the volume wheel was nice to have, but that's about where the positives end. The keys are very steep so I felt like I was typing on stairs. And once in a while a key press would register twice. Any key was susceptible to this (iit would makee you tyype like thiis.) it wasn't the switches or the firmware. Sent it back, not comfortable and defective.
