    HE68 Lite currently available for $70.54 - any idea what the differences are?

    • freefall101 on 09/08/2025 - 17:15

      Lite is tray mount vs gasket mount on the non-lite

      Gasket costs more to make but it's one of those things that's not really clear on "better" vs just preference. Can be less even on a tray mount, that's about all (because the tray is only mounted at certain points so the flex is a tiny bit difference)

    It's wild how nice sounding Chinese keyboard manufacturers have made their keyboards. The traditional gaming companies like Logitech have completely given up on what appeals to keyboard enthusiasts.

    • CrispyChrispy on 09/08/2025 - 17:11

      We have started to see companies like ASUS and HyperX start to implement 'enthusiast' features in their keyboards, hotswap capability, pre-lubed stabs and the like

      But then they charge 400 bucks it, and it's a plastic build with proprietary software, so what's the point? Might as well just go for an actual custom at that point

    Need to see more of these boards appearing in JB for Razer and the like to lose mind share.

    Nice - i'm glad that wooting's innovative idea (but is cheap to actualy implement) is now at a price that is palatable for mass market

  • Whiplash on 09/08/2025 - 22:47

    Does this thing allow moves which as quick snap etc to allow me to keep up with the tweenies.

  • LINK91 on 09/08/2025 - 23:19

    Waiting for the HE75 MAG to drop below 100.

  • Adriftx on 10/08/2025 - 01:42

    I tend to press lot of incorrect keys while typing and have heard of wooting's adjustable actuation can minimise this to a certain degree.

    Just want to know if anyone here has experienced this and if this keyboards are worth considering for such scenarios?

    • CrispyChrispy on 10/08/2025 - 12:34

      Would suggest trying heavier switches. I find if I use red switches I make a bunch of mistakes because they're too light

      Tactile switches can also help in that regard

    • Solrak on 10/08/2025 - 22:34

      Keychron HE series is worth checking out if want a decent work keyboard that also games well.

    It's actually crazy how much the markup is normally. It's 250 Yuan on Taobao which is under $60. $82 with shipping. This deal is just making it normal price.

    EPOMAKER also has very very bad reputation with English customer service. You'd 100% want to buy from Taobao if you can because all their customer support is there.

      They just replaced my faulty TH80 Pro with an Ak820 pro due to PCB not working and told me to keep the TH80 meaning I keep the gatreon pro yellow switches, keycaps, etc. They required video proof, but I had a new device within 4 days from initial contact as they sent it through Amazon.
      YMMV, but it has a pleasant experience.

        If you bought from Amazon that would generally provide you with a better experience. Many keyboard enthusiasts on reddit have had bad experiences, but many haven't.

        The thing I don't like about epomaker is that they generally rebadge keyboards made by other manufacturers. As a result, in the somewhat murky world of Chinese brands reselling boards made by a few OEM keyboard manufacturers it becomes hard to know exactly what kind of quality control you are getting as they can vary significantly. Some could be great, others not so much. At least if you buy from a brand that controls part of the specification and q/c you have a better chance of knowing what you are getting. But buying from amazon limits your risk as their returns are better.

        But epomaker seem ready to splash cash on keyboard reviewers who never ever seem to mention these provenance issues in their reviews, so the 'brand' still has a decent reputation.

      • posilepton on 10/08/2025 - 22:44

        The shipping, repair and refurbishment costs outweigh the costs of just letting you keep it. This really isn't anything special. The fact that your PCB didn't work on your first keyboard is testament to their infamous lack of QA. Many people have had their keyboards DOA.

          This is my 3rd Epomaker keyboard and my first still works. I am not going to deny that there is likely a QA issue, but I feel like that holds true for many PC accessories companies. I have had issues with Corsair and logi products in the past too. Just mentioning my experience which contrasts the person's point re: customer service. I paid $60 bucks for my TH80 pro and paid $300 for my k95 in 2020. Even if I had to replace it, any bigger manufacturer is charging 3x minimum for the same featureset.

            @LINK91: I don't argue for a big brand and never said something like Corsair/Logitech is worth it or good value.

            Epomaker aren't anything special in the Chinese keyboard market. There are plenty of options for low price and fantastic build quality over there.

            However the market over there is designed to be easily returned and replaced for 1-2 day shipping at no cost. That doesn't translate well when they start selling internationally.

    Back to 98 bucks for me

  • Radiskull on 10/08/2025 - 19:17

    definitely would be getting this for the performance over the acoustics

    • posilepton on 11/08/2025 - 01:17

      That would be the point for Hall effect keyboards. Otherwise you'd just get a normal mechanical which are better in every other department.

    I'm tempted to get an EPOMAKER HE80.

    How does it compare to my HyperX Alloy Origins Core?

    I've replaced the keycaps with Ducky ones, but otherwise it's stock. I like the metal construction but everything is un-lubed.

    Played around with a Keychron K2 HE Special Edition and really liked it, but they're like $225 - 250.

    • deadpoet on 11/08/2025 - 16:54

      I own a Keychron K2 HE Special Edition and I love it, and just got the EPOMAKER HE80 today ($98.59 delivered from Amazon).

      First impressions are that the HE80 is pretty decent — I'd say the typing feel is about 80-90% as good as my Keychron K2 HE. I know it's strange to buy a hall effect keyboard for typing and productivity work, but I really like the feel of the keys. For the price, I think it's good value, and far far cheaper than the Keychron equivalent. I'm very happy with it (note that I'm not a keyboard enthusiast per se, so I'm not familiar with custom keyboard mods etc).

  • kmish on 11/08/2025 - 10:38

    how do you guys go with these 68% keyboards? Do you not miss the numberpad / extra keys like printscreen / del etc?

    • snep on 11/08/2025 - 10:50

      I find 65/68% quite comfortable, and it frees up a bit of desk space. I don't use numpad anyway and quickly start to muscle memory combos for tilda, f keys etc.

      I tried 60% and found lack of arrow and nav keys annoying, probably only good for vim users lol

      • kmish on 11/08/2025 - 14:35

        thanks for your response @snep. Shortcuts would be the way to go but my issue is i forget what i'd mapped rarely used shortcuts to lol
