Epomaker TH65 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Launches at $65

A Crowded Category Gets Another Contender

Budget mechanical keyboards have come a long way. Not long ago, spending under $70 meant accepting wobbly cases, membrane-lite actuation, and rattling stabilizers that sounded like a bag of loose change. Epomaker has spent the last few years chipping away at that assumption, and the company announced on July 31 that its latest effort is the TH65, a 65% wireless mechanical keyboard priced at $64.99.

According to Epomaker, the TH65 is available now on the company’s website in three color options: Black with translucent PC keycaps, Retro White with opaque PBT keycaps, and Pink with ABS and PC keycaps.

What You Actually Get for the Money

The specs list here is genuinely interesting for this price bracket. Epomaker says the TH65 ships with a gasket mount, which is the kind of feature that typically shows up on keyboards costing twice as much. Gasket mounting gives the typing surface a slight bounce and helps tamp down that hollow clacking sound that plagues cheaper slab-case designs. Pair that with five layers of sound damping materials and a PC plate, and Epomaker is clearly aiming for a quieter, softer typing experience than the price might suggest.

Double-shot PBT keycaps also make the spec sheet, at least on the Retro White variant. PBT is generally more durable and resistant to shine than ABS, and double-shot construction means the legends are molded in rather than printed, so they will not fade with extended use. The Black colorway uses translucent PC keycaps, presumably to let the south-facing RGB backlighting show through more dramatically.

There is also a programmable knob, which compact keyboard enthusiasts tend to appreciate for volume control, scrolling, or whatever macro tickles their fancy. The case itself is ABS plastic, which Epomaker acknowledges is partly a cost measure, though it does enable practical features like two-stage flip-out feet that let users set their typing angle to 6, 8, or 10.5 degrees.

Three Switch Flavors, Two Wireless Radios

Epomaker is offering the TH65 with its own branded switch lineup. Buyers can choose between the linear Epomaker Creamy Jades, the Epomaker Crystal Silent Tactile switches, or the Epomaker Clear linear switches. Having three distinct options at launch is a nice touch for a board in this range, since switch preference is deeply personal and swapping them out adds cost and effort.

For connectivity, the TH65 covers the basics well. It supports both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth, giving users flexibility depending on whether they need low-latency input for gaming or just want to pair it to a laptop across the room. The battery capacity is listed at 8,000 mAh, which is a substantial figure on paper, though Epomaker has not published any battery life estimates. That omission is a little frustrating for buyers trying to plan around how often they will be reaching for the USB Type-C charging cable.

Layout customization and RGB lighting are handled through Epomaker’s Upgear web driver software, which is also where firmware updates are distributed.

Context in the 65% Market

The 65% form factor has become a sweet spot for a lot of enthusiasts. It trims the numpad and function row but keeps arrow keys and a few navigation keys intact, making it compact enough for tighter desks without being as stripped-down as a 60%. At $64.99, the TH65 is competing directly with a crowded field that includes offerings from Keychron and a growing number of smaller brands.

What sets Epomaker’s pitch apart is the combination of gasket mounting and sound dampening at this specific price. Those are the kinds of construction details that show up in forum wishlists far more often than they show up in budget spec sheets. Whether the execution matches the promise is something only extended testing will confirm, but on paper the TH65 is a thoughtfully specced board for anyone who wants a quieter, more considered typing experience without spending close to $150.
