Product Description

The Epomaker Split 65 is a compact, ergonomic split keyboard designed for users seeking adjustable typing angles and versatile connectivity. It suits those who want to reduce wrist strain during long typing or gaming sessions while maintaining customization options and quiet keystrokes. Its 65% layout balances key availability with desk space savings.

Key Features

Split design allows independent adjustment of each half, promoting a natural hand position and reducing wrist and forearm strain.
Triple connectivity modes (USB-C wired, Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless) enable easy switching between multiple devices without re-pairing.
Full-key hot-swappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing switch changes without soldering.
Supports QMK and VIA firmware for extensive key remapping, macro programming, and lighting customization.

Typing Experience and Acoustics

Gasket-mounted structure provides a softer, less rigid typing feel by absorbing vibrations.
Four-layer sound dampening system reduces keystroke noise and improves acoustic quality, suitable for quieter environments.
Equipped with factory-lubed linear switches offering smooth keypresses and long durability.
South-facing per-key RGB lighting avoids interference from keycaps and switches, ensuring consistent illumination.

Build Quality

Top case made of ABS plastic with an iron bottom plate adds stability without excessive weight.
Plate-mounted stabilizers reduce key wobble but are not compatible with screw-in stabilizers, limiting some customization.
Cherry-profile PBT keycaps with dye-sublimation resist shine and wear over time.

Connectivity and Compatibility

Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android devices, covering most common user environments.
Polling rates vary by mode: 1000Hz for wired and 2.4GHz wireless, 125Hz for Bluetooth, affecting input responsiveness.

Trade-offs

No flex-cut design, which may limit case flexibility or sound tuning options.
Bluetooth latency is higher compared to wired and 2.4GHz modes, potentially less ideal for fast-paced gaming.
Plate-mounted stabilizers may not satisfy users who prefer screw-in stabilizers for tighter key feel.
