This flexibility allows seamless switching between devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. Additionally, the keyboard supports both Windows and Mac layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key highlights is its hot-swappable capability, allowing users to change the 3 or 5-pin cherry-style mechanical switches without soldering. This feature enables a highly customizable typing experience. The review unit came with Mulan linear switches, which provide a smooth and fast actuation, making it ideal for gaming. If you type more and prefer tactile feedback, you should go with other switches like the Budgerigar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2.jpeg 1220w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-2-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyboard&#8217;s build quality is good although the frame is made of ABS plastic with a slightly metallic finish. The keycaps are made from durable PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends, ensuring they won&#8217;t fade over time. The keycaps offer a comfortable typing experience with their taller and slightly concave design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3.jpeg 1220w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-3-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique addition to the TH80 Pro V2 is its 1.17-inch screen, capable of displaying basic information like time, date, and connection mode. Users can also upload custom static images or GIF animations, adding a personalized touch to the keyboard. Unfortunately, the EPOMAKER Image Custom Tool is not available for macOS, therefore, I&#8217;m stuck with a black screen with wrong date and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance-wise, the TH80 Pro V2 delivers an exceptional typing experience right out of the box. The pre-lubed switches and stabilizers contribute to a satisfying smooth feedback. Inside the keyboard, multiple layers of foam and silicone enhance the acoustic and tactile experience, providing a soft and poppy sound signature. The gasket-mounted design further improves typing comfort by adding flexibility and cushioning to each keystroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4.jpeg 1220w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EPOMAKER-TH80-PRO-V2-4-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Programming the keyboard is straightforward with the VIA software, an open-source tool that allows for key remapping, macro assignments, and creating multiple key layers. Although the initial setup requires downloading an extra file, the software is user-friendly and offers extensive customization options typically found in more expensive custom keyboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compact Design<\/strong>: 75% layout saves desk space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tri-Mode Connectivity<\/strong>: USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hot-Swappable Switches<\/strong>: Easy customization without soldering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good Build Quality<\/strong>: Durable PBT keycaps and ABS frame.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great Typing Experience<\/strong>: Pre-lubed switches, gasket-mounted design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-Friendly Software<\/strong>: VIA software for extensive customization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Good Value<\/strong>: Priced at $99.99, often discounted on Amazon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ABS Plastic Frame<\/strong>: Less premium than metal frames.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gimmicky Screen<\/strong>: Doesn&#8217;t offer any important feature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At a price point of $99.99, the EPOMAKER TH80 PRO V2 offers good value.
