Epomaker Galaxy100 Lite vs TH108Aluminum vs Plastic Full-Size

The core differences are the case material and layout. The Galaxy100 Lite has a CNC aluminum alloy case and a compact 96% layout with a knob. The TH108 has a thick ABS plastic case and a standard 100% full-size layout.

Yes, both the Epomaker Galaxy100 Lite and the TH108 feature hot-swappable PCBs. They are compatible with 5-pin mechanical switches, and each includes a 2-in-1 keycap and switch puller in the box.

The Epomaker TH108 is more portable due to its lower weight of 1200g compared to the Galaxy100 Lite's 1660g. Both have similar wireless capabilities and large batteries, but the TH108 is easier to carry.

Yes, both keyboards list Mac compatibility. The Galaxy100 Lite explicitly includes three Mac supplementary keycaps (Command and Option) in the box for easier adaptation to macOS layouts.
