Epomaker Reviews: HLPLANET's Verdicts on 18 Epomaker Keyboards, Switches and Mice

Epomaker is a peripherals brand that makes mechanical, magnetic and inductive keyboards, along with its own switches and wireless gaming mice. As of October 2026, HLPLANET (hlplanet.com) has reviewed 18 Epomaker products. The overall picture: strong hardware and value for money, with clunky software as the most repeated complaint.

What does Epomaker make?

Epomaker makes keyboards in almost every format, plus switches and mice. HLPLANET's reviews cover:

• Magnetic keyboards with TMR or Hall Effect switches: HE75 V2 TMR, HE65 V2 TMR and HE75 Mag.
• An inductive keyboard: Magcore65 Lite.
• Mechanical keyboards: Galaxy100, Hack 59, Carbon60, Split70, Split 65, Tide Alice and Shadow-X.
• Switches: the Roseveil silent linear.
• Mice: Nex Pro, Nex Lite and Carbonis.

HLPLANET has also reviewed the Carbon X, Luma40 and Magcore 87.

Are Epomaker's magnetic keyboards good?

Yes. The TMR models received some of HLPLANET's most positive Epomaker verdicts.

The Epomaker HE75 V2 TMR review by Fang covers a $125 75% board with Creamy Jade HE linear switches, 8000Hz polling over USB and 2.4GHz, and an 8000mAh battery. It carries an Editor's Choice badge. Fang calls it a strong pick for anyone who wants rapid trigger and a keyboard that sounds good.

• Pros: five-layer dampening with no rattle, rapid trigger, adjustable actuation, DKS and SOCD, about 55 hours of battery with RGB on.
• Cons: the Driver V4 software is clunky, it does not recalibrate after switch swaps, and the price is higher than Fang would like.

The HE65 V2 TMR is the 65% sibling with the same switches and 8000Hz polling, plus hybrid hot-swap for regular mechanical switches. Fang calls it excellent and versatile, with almost no compromises. The weak points are a single switch option at launch, the same software and 14ms latency over Bluetooth.

The HE75 Mag costs $99 and uses Gateron Magnetic White switches adjustable from 0.1 to 4.0mm. Marcus Richardson gave it an editor's rating of 4 and recommends it, though the plastic case sounds clacky.

What about Epomaker's inductive keyboard?

The Magcore65 Lite is HLPLANET's cheapest route to rapid trigger from Epomaker. The Magcore65 Lite review covers a $79.99 65% board with inductive switches adjustable from 0.1 to 3.4mm and 8K wired polling. Sub-scores include 4.5/5 for typing and gaming and 4.5/5 for value, but 3.5/5 for software. The verdict: a strong choice if you value function over a premium feel.

Which Epomaker mechanical keyboards stand out?

The Galaxy100 is the standout. In the Galaxy100 review, Snimtas calls the $100 to $110 aluminum 98% board hard to beat for anyone who wants a numpad, citing its 8000mAh battery, knob and VIA support. It lacks a dust cover and a dongle slot.

• Hack 59 ($69.99): an HHKB-style 60% with QMK/VIA, described as a safe entry point to the layout; it has no split Backspace.
• Carbon60 ($129.99): a low-profile 60% with a real carbon fiber case and Gateron KS-33 switches, best as a portable board; it ships with ABS keycaps.
• Split70 (near $100): an affordable split board with a number row that Fang finds worth the money, though it has no tenting and closely resembles the Zuoya GMK70.

How good are Epomaker switches?

Very good for quiet typing. The Roseveil switch review tested a factory-lubed silent linear with 32gf actuation, priced at $16.99 for 35. Snimtas scored it 5/5 for feel, sound and smoothness, 4/5 for stem wobble and 2/5 for lighting diffusion.

Are Epomaker mice worth buying?

Yes, especially the Nex Pro. The Epomaker Nex Pro review praises its PAW3950 sensor, Nordic 54L15 MCU, verified 8000Hz wireless and a charging dock with a built-in receiver, at 65g measured. The only firm con is a bottom DPI button that cannot be remapped.

• Carbonis: a carbon fiber ergonomic mouse with a built-in display, 55g measured and 8K polling; the trade-off is short battery life.
• Nex Lite ($35.99): a budget PAW3311 mouse with a charging dock that Fang calls a pretty decent option, though it is rear-heavy and has heavy main clicks.

Which Epomaker product should you buy?

1. Competitive gaming with a good sound: HE75 V2 TMR.
2. Compact all-rounder: HE65 V2 TMR.
3. Cheapest rapid trigger: Magcore65 Lite.
4. Numpad on a budget: Galaxy100.
5. Travel: Carbon60.
6. Quiet office typing: Roseveil switches.
7. Wireless ergonomic mouse: Nex Pro, or Nex Lite on a budget.
