Pros and Trade-offs

The Epomaker HE30 and TH99 Pro serve fundamentally different users. If your life revolves around competitive FPS or MOBA games where every millisecond counts, the HE30's specialized layout and Hall effect technology are compelling. For everyone else needing a full-featured, comfortable, and wireless keyboard for work, creativity, and casual play, the TH99 Pro is the significantly more practical and versatile choice. Consider the HE30 a gaming peripheral, not a primary keyboard.

Epomaker HE30

  • +Ultra-high 8000 Hz polling rate with a claimed 0.125ms latency for competitive gaming.
  • +Adjustable Hall effect magnetic switches with actuation tunable from 0.1mm to 3.4mm.
  • +Extremely compact and lightweight 30% design, weighing only 350g.
  • +Includes five layers of sound dampening: sandwich foam, IXPE switch pad, PET pad, and EPDM bottom foam.
  • +Web-based software supports DKS (Dynamic Keystroke) and SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Direction) cleaning for gaming.

  • The 30% one-handed layout lacks alphanumeric keys, function row, arrows, and a numpad, making it unsuitable for general typing.
  • Wired-only connectivity limits placement and device switching flexibility.
  • Uses a tray mount structure, which typically offers less flex and a different sound profile than gasket mounts.

Epomaker TH99 Pro

  • +Versatile 96% layout retains the numpad and navigation keys in a compact form factor.
  • +Tri-mode connectivity with Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired USB-C.
  • +Features a 1.06-inch smart display and a multifunctional control knob.
  • +Gasket mount structure with five-layer sound dampening including PORON, latex, IXPE, and silicone.
  • +Hot-swappable PCB allows for easy switch replacement and customization.

  • Heavier and much larger at 1120g and 410mm wide, reducing portability.
  • Lower 1000 Hz polling rate in wired/2.4G mode compared to the HE30's 8000 Hz.
  • Uses a standard ABS plastic case, while the HE30's case material is listed simply as plastic.

The TH99 Pro is the clear choice for office work, programming, content creation, and modding due to its complete key set, wireless features, and customization options.
