The Epomaker TH87 has a significantly larger 10000mAh battery compared to the EA75 Max's 5000mAh. According to the manufacturer, the TH87 can last up to 200 hours with RGB off, offering superior wireless endurance.
Yes, the Epomaker EA75 Max features a multi-function metal knob. The vendor description states this knob can be used to control volume, RGB settings, and other parameters, with changes reflected on the TFT screen.
Yes, both the TH87 and EA75 Max list Mac compatibility. The technical specifications for the TH87 explicitly state compatibility with Mac, Windows, and Android operating systems.
The TH87 uses an 87-key TKL (Tenkeyless) layout, which removes the number pad but keeps the function row and navigation cluster separate. The EA75 Max uses an 80-key 75% layout, which condenses the function and navigation keys into a more compact block for a smaller footprint.
