Product Description

The Epomaker Hack 59 is a compact mechanical keyboard with a 59-key HHKB layout, suited for users who want a minimal, ergonomic setup that saves desk space. It fits well for typists or programmers who value customization and quiet typing. Its triple-mode connectivity supports wired and wireless use, making it flexible for multi-device environments.

Key Features

  • HHKB layout places keys within easy reach, improving typing efficiency and comfort in a smaller footprint.
  • Full-key hotswappable switches allow easy customization or replacement without soldering.
  • South-facing per-key RGB lighting reduces shadows from keycaps, providing more even illumination.
  • QMK/VIA programmability enables extensive remapping and macro creation for tailored workflows.
  • Five-layer sound dampening system reduces typing noise for a quieter experience.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

  • Gasket-mounted design isolates the typing plate from the case, softening keypress impact and reducing vibration.
  • ABS plastic case and PC plastic plate provide a lightweight but stable structure.
  • Cherry-profile PBT keycaps with dye-sublimation resist wear and offer a comfortable feel.
  • Equipped with factory-lubed linear switches that provide smooth keystrokes with moderate actuation force.

Connectivity

  • Supports Type-C wired, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4GHz wireless modes for versatile device connections.
  • Users can switch between devices easily, suitable for office, home, or mobile use.
  • Polling rates vary by mode, with lower latency on wired and 2.4GHz compared to Bluetooth.

Compatibility and Customization

  • Compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android systems.
  • Supports QMK and VIA firmware for deep customization of key functions and macros.
  • Plate-mount stabilizers are used, but screw-in stabilizers are not compatible, which may limit switch options for some users.

Trade-offs

  • The 59-key HHKB layout omits some keys found on standard 60% boards, which may require adjustment or use of layers for missing keys.
  • ABS plastic case is less durable and heavier than metal alternatives.
  • Bluetooth mode has higher latency and lower polling rate, which may affect fast-paced typing or gaming.
  • Plate-mount stabilizers may produce more rattle compared to screw-in stabilizers preferred by some enthusiasts.
