The TH80 X the knob does control volume. It is a bit confusing but you have to press the knob to switch between screen menus and volume.

I bought one but eventually replaced it with the Cidoo v65. Still a great readily available budget board with good sound characteristics out of the box.

Honestly i recently bought the th80 pro with pre-lubed wisteria switches and stabs for 80€ and I'm impressed. The keyboard is great out of the box and it sounds really good, at least to me. Shame about the epomaker software but for the price i can't really complain.

Hipyo please do more content about full-size or 96% keyboards 😭 also keep giving us knob content, volume knob should be a necessity on every keyboard

[RockRespawn]

Btw I own the th80 x and the knob does work as a volume knob. All you have to do is Fn + knob click and it switches to volume mode. Repeat the same key press to go back into settings mode :)

I picked up the TH80 Pro earlier last year as my first mechanical keyboard to jump into the hobby. I really liked the sound and feel of it stock, but have since modded it a bit as I've learned more. The Gateron yellow switches feel and sound great, and more so after manually lubing them. I've tape modded it and added some foam, and think it sounds better now. While the stabilizers are factory lubed, they could probably use some more. It's definitely a good entry board, though it is a bit of a pain to get inside for modding.

i am owner of th80pro. It is my first mechanical keyboard. Ive had it for 3 months now and im glad of this choice. Ive bought it with brown swtiches but after some time ive changed them to Akko v3 yellow cream and ive got white pudding keycaps from amazon.

I bought the standard pro in a different color 18 months ago and changed out the switches for morandis and now I really like it quite a bit. It is really hard to take apart, though.

I bought the TX80-X (flamingo switches) and I have to say, this is a big step up for me coming from Corsair K95 Platinum with speed switches. Also it was $95 cheaper than Corsair!
It does sound incredible, well at least to me it does, I'm by no means an keyboard enthusiast, but I'm very impressed with it!
Also the software is... how to say it lightly... confusing and not pleasant, would much prefer if it was VIA compatible.
I will have to correct you on the knob, in my unit it does indeed work as volume knob and other things, maybe the unit sent to you was bogged or something?
All in all though, I'm very happy with this keyboard, will probably look at modding this keyboard to perfection for me.
Great video though bud! Keep it up <3

Just want to say I enjoyed this video. Based on the recent criticism(s) you received, it feels to me as though you heeded those. I enjoyed this format of reviewing three keyboards side-by-side and your recommendation of the Gateron Yellows over the Flamingos. The modded SE sounds great, too!

[ryanwb]

I bought my th80 pro monet with flamingos for 65$ cad (48$ USD). Epomaker had a sale on their website. I'd say WELL worth it coming from a keychron v1.

Bought th80 pro as an entry point into mechanical keyboard space since it was in stock and affordable. Unfortunately in Canada, many nicer custom keyboard options require you to pay for shipping and duties to import from the US on top of an already expensive base price. I figure mechanical keyboards are modular upgrade wise so you can always upgrade different pieces later. Software is quite bad though, but enough for me to make remap pgup/down to home/end. Thanks for the comprehensive comparison of different epomaker products!

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the TH80 Pro as my starter custom board because Amazon has the prebuild it on sale for $45. Honestly, for $45, this thing feels great (I thought light linears would be my jam, but I didn't realize they would be THAT much better for me than the Cherry MX Browns I was stuck with on my old gamer board). Opening it was actually way easier than I was expecting. I thought I wouldn't be opening it frequently because every review I saw had people struggling with it, but I read a comment saying to use an old gift card/credit card, and it worked like a charm. Currently, I have the PCB taped, and it sounds really poppy (tho a bit loud and hollow with a noticeable spring ping from some switches, but I'll see what I can do to fix that later). I'm super glad I figured that out too, because I can't wait to experiment a bunch with the modifications and see just how nice I can make this budget board ^^

This keyboard started with some minor frustrations, but has turned into an incredibly fun project that has made me think critically on what I want from a keyboard and how I can modify it to suit needs that I hadn't even realized I had before lol. Now, it's a smaller keyboard that feels better, sounds better, and has more functionality than any full-sized+ gamer keyboard I've ever used (I just wish the software was ever so marginally better lmao)

This video makes me happy I just bought an old school IBM style retro looking and feeling keyboard for only $40 and avoided all this bs

[dreadwolfrising]

Speaking of Epomaker, I recently bought the EK98 barebones on a whim. I havent been able to find any reviews on YT, reddit, or elsewhere so I'd love hear feedback from others. I personally thought it was good for the $30-$60USD you can get it for on sale, but it was an absolute PAIN to open up and mod, and it needed extra foam/polyfil and a stab change

[novemberisokay]

I bought the TH80 SE with Budgerigar Switches and it is THOCCCC as hell, i love it

[KyleKick]

I bought the Epomaker SE with yellow pro switches a few months ago and I like it. I normally do research before buying stuff like keyboards but saw it and figured it's probably better than razer. I bought the SE because the knob looked good.

[cruiser]

I got the TH80-X a couple days ago from amazon, on sale for $45. First mechanical keyboard. I like it a lot! sound is ok? I cant tell since im not experienced but it really sounds good to me. Quality wise, perfect. I love the quality of the key caps, they feel premium.
