Epomaker HE80 Mechanical Keyboard

The Epomaker HE80 uses magnetic Hall Effect switches, which rely on changes in magnetic fields to detect key presses, instead of physical contact. This allows for ultra-fast actuation, adjustable trigger points, and a much longer lifespan compared to traditional mechanical switches. You’ll notice a smoother, more responsive typing experience with less wear and tear over time.

Absolutely! The HE80 allows you to fine-tune the actuation point of each key in increments as small as 0.01mm using the Epomaker web driver. This means you can set your keys to trigger at exactly the sensitivity you prefer, whether you want rapid response for gaming or a deeper press for typing accuracy.

Yes, the HE80 is hot-swappable, but with a twist: it supports south-facing magnetic switches. This means you can easily swap out the switches without soldering, but you’ll need to use compatible magnetic switches for the best results.

Typing on the HE80 is both satisfying and quiet, thanks to its creamy gasket-mount design and four layers of sound-dampening materials. These layers—latex sandwich foam, IXPE switch pad, bottom silicone, and bottom foam—work together to reduce noise and provide a soft, cushioned bottom-out, making every keystroke pleasant.

The HE80 features an impressive 8000Hz polling rate, which means it reports your key presses to your computer 8000 times per second. Combined with an ultra-low latency of just 0.125ms, this makes the keyboard exceptionally responsive, a big advantage for gamers and fast typists who need their inputs registered instantly.

Definitely! The HE80’s adjustable actuation, N-key rollover, and per-key programmable RGB make it a versatile choice for gaming, while its comfortable layout and sound-dampened design cater to typists who spend long hours at the keyboard.

Yes, the HE80 is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and devices, including Mac, Linux, Android, PS4, PS5, and even the Nintendo Switch. Just connect it via USB-C and you’re ready to go.

Yes! The HE80 features per-key, south-facing RGB backlighting, allowing you to customize the lighting effects to your liking. The south-facing orientation ensures a vibrant glow that beautifully illuminates both the included PBT and transparent PC keycaps.

The keyboard comes with durable double-shot PBT keycaps in the Cherry profile, as well as extra transparent PC keycaps. This combination gives you the flexibility to customize the look and feel of your keyboard while ensuring legends remain crisp and long-lasting.

No, the HE80 is a wired-only keyboard. It connects via a USB-A to USB-C cable, ensuring the fastest possible response time and stable performance without concerns about battery life or wireless interference.

Yes, the HE80 offers three adjustable typing angles—6, 8.5, and 11.5 degrees—so you can find the most comfortable position for your wrists and hands during long sessions of gaming or typing.

The HE80 has a 75% layout with 82 keys, striking a balance between compactness and functionality. It retains essential keys like arrows and function row, making it great for both office and gaming setups where desk space is at a premium.
