Epomaker QK108 vs TH108Screen & Knob vs Simpler Value

The primary difference is the QK108 includes a customizable mini-screen and a programmable control knob, while the TH108 does not. Furthermore, the QK108 supports VIA software for deep customization, whereas the TH108 uses a proprietary web-based driver.

The Epomaker QK108 supports VIA software, which is an open-source, widely supported tool for key remapping, macro creation, and lighting control. The TH108 uses Epomaker's own web-based driver software, which may offer less community support and flexibility.

Yes, both the Epomaker QK108 and TH108 feature hot-swappable 5-pin sockets. This allows you to easily change the mechanical switches without soldering, using the included switch puller.

Yes, both keyboards are listed as compatible with Mac and Windows. The QK108 specifically includes additional Mac modifier keycaps (Command, Option) in the box to replace the standard Windows keys.

Both feature large 8000mAh batteries. The QK108's product page specifies up to 229 hours with RGB and the screen off. The TH108's description claims up to 160 hours of wire-free battery life, though specific testing conditions may vary.

Both offer silent linear switch options (Sea Salt Silent). They also utilize a 5-layer sound-dampening design with foam and silicone to reduce noise, so acoustic performance should be similar and relatively quiet.

Yes. According to Epomaker's description, the knob on the QK108 can be programmed to control various functions like brightness, scrolling through a playlist, or other custom actions via its software.

Both the Epomaker QK108 and TH108 use Cherry profile keycaps. The QK108's are dye-sublimated PBT, while the TH108's are double-shot PBT.

The QK108 includes the keyboard, a USB cable, a 2.4Ghz receiver, a 2-in-1 puller, a manual, 3 Mac keycaps, and 2 extra switches. The TH108 includes the keyboard, receiver, USB cable, puller, 2 extra switches, and a manual.

The TH108's product description states its plate-mounted stabilizers are "finely tuned" and a user review confirms they are pre-lubed. The QK108's description mentions plate-mounted stabilizers but does not specify if they are pre-lubricated.

Both have very low latency suitable for gaming. The QK108 lists 3ms (wired) and 5ms (2.4Ghz), while the TH108 lists 2ms (wired) and 5ms (2.4Ghz). In practice, this difference is negligible for most users.

Yes. The QK108 uses a polycarbonate (PC) plate, while the TH108 uses a plastic plate, though its description also calls it a "flex-cut PC plate." The polycarbonate plate on the QK108 may offer a slightly different sound and flex characteristic.
