This comparison is for buyers focused on Hall Effect magnetic switches and high-performance features like 8KHz polling and rapid trigger at a competitive price. The decision is difficult because both keyboards deliver on core gaming specs but diverge sharply in connectivity, build philosophy, and layout. The Attack Shark offers a straightforward, wired 65% option with an aluminum case, while the Epomaker provides a tri-mode wireless 75% layout with extensive sound dampening and a gasket mount.

Your choice hinges on the necessity of wireless connectivity. For a desk-bound, no-frills gaming setup where cost is a factor, the wired Attack Shark X68 HE with its aluminum case is a solid pick. If you value the freedom to connect to multiple devices wirelessly, prefer a more acoustic-focused typing feel, and need the extra keys of a 75% layout, the Epomaker G84 HE is worth the higher investment.
The Epomaker G84 HE wins in most productivity and mobility categories due to its wireless connectivity and more functional 75% layout. For pure wired gaming performance, the keyboards are evenly matched on paper. The Attack Shark X68 HE's primary advantage is its simpler, potentially more affordable wired proposition with an aluminum case, making it a contender for a stationary, cost-conscious setup.
