Epomaker Unveils HE75 V2: An Affordable Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard with Enthusiast Features
Epomaker has continued its exploration of Hall effect keyboard technology with the upcoming HE75 V2, a refreshed version of the HE75 Mag first introduced in 2025. Known for delivering value-driven peripherals, Epomaker’s latest model aims to blend enthusiast-level design with accessible pricing, making advanced keyboard features more attainable for gamers and keyboard enthusiasts alike.
Design and Build Quality
The HE75 V2 features an ABS plastic case paired with a gasket mount and an FR4 plate, a combination that balances durability and acoustic performance. Notably, the PCB and FR4 plate do not include flex cuts—a design choice that prioritizes sound quality, a detail often appreciated by keyboard enthusiasts. While the official price has yet to be announced, expectations are that it will be similar to the original HE75 Mag, likely around the $100 mark.
Layout and Customization
Staying true to its name, the HE75 V2 adopts a 75% layout, retaining both the number row and function row for comprehensive functionality. The keyboard incorporates a streamlined three-key navigation column on the right edge, offering a compact yet versatile form factor. A standout feature is the modular, programmable volume knob, which can be removed and replaced with two additional key switches, providing users with customization options reminiscent of the original HE75 Mag.
Visual Appeal and RGB Lighting
The HE75 V2 is available in two striking colorways: all-white and all-black. Each version comes with color-matched translucent polycarbonate keycaps—smokey for the black model and frosted for the white. These keycaps are designed to maximize RGB illumination, complemented by edge lighting that shines through a faceted diffuser, creating a crystal-like effect for a visually dynamic desktop presence.
Performance and Connectivity
Epomaker equips the HE75 V2 with its Creamy Jade Magnetic switches, which, combined with the FR4 plate, are expected to deliver a distinctive, poppy sound signature. The keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity, offering Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and USB-C wired options. For competitive gaming, the HE75 V2 boasts an 8 kHz polling rate over both 2.4 GHz wireless and wired connections, ensuring ultra-responsive performance.
While the HE75 V2 has not yet officially launched, Epomaker has previewed the keyboard in a recent YouTube livestream and published a detailed product page outlining its specifications. With its blend of enthusiast features, customizable design, and accessible price point, the HE75 V2 is poised to attract both gamers and keyboard aficionados looking for a high-performance Hall effect keyboard.
