EPOMAKER TH65 65% Compact Mechanical Keyboard (Hardware) – Review

Introducing the all-new EPOMAKER TH65 65% Compact Mechanical Keyboard. At $95, it doesn’t feel like a gasket-mounted build, but it delivers the thocky feel you expect from a mechanical keyboard.

Inside you’ll find the design board, a USB-to-C cable, a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver, 1x keycap & switch puller, a manual, a product card, and 2 extra switches.

The EPOMAKER TH65 Mechanical Keyboard is compact for the TH series, officially listed as a 65% mechanical keyboard with an 8000 mAh battery and a light indicator that shows the battery life percentage.

It takes about 8 hours to charge on a 5V port. Its large size gives it over 200 hours of playtime and about 40 hours with RGB on and wireless.

The dimensions are 298.48 x 102.05 x 41.46 mm, and it weighs roughly 0.7 kg; while it’s a little heavy for its size, which helps keep it in place, the size frees up a lot of space on your desk.

As a 65% mechanical keyboard, the EPOMAKER TH65 65% Compact Mechanical Keyboard uses traditional 5-pin switches on a gasket-mounted PCB: no magnets, no hall sensors, just a tuned mechanical stack and a knob for volume in the top left, 5 layers of foam underneath so soft and still registers physical contact, but with a cushioned bottom now that gives that smooth, creamy thock that EPOMAKER is known for, and standard PBT keys with double-shot for extra density.

The EPOMAKER TH65 Mechanical Keyboard supports tri-band connectivity: 1000 Hz 2.4 GHz wireless and USB 2.4 GHz, with 125 Hz Bluetooth. Latency is normal: 2 ms wired, 5 ms wireless, and 11 ms Bluetooth.

One of EPOMAKER’s strengths is its web-based software, so you don’t need to install anything. To customise everything to suit your style, you can use this website to update drivers, remap keys, adjust the RGB effects and brightness, and even assign functions to the rotary knob.

It supports wireless and wired connections, but it can’t do that over Bluetooth.

The EPOMAKER TH65 65% Compact Mechanical Keyboard is pretty and comes in three colours: black, white, and pink. A thocky keyboard perfect for budget builds, students with small desks or office spaces, and anyone who wants quiet keys, with a variety of options for looks, sound, keymapping, and macros.

The EPOMAKER TH65 Mechanical Keyboard is a perfect budget-friendly keyboard for any setup. Soft to the touch and spacious on any desk.
