EPOMAKER HE75 V2 Review – Hall Effect switches, 8K polling and a 75% keyboard for gamers and professionals

What is the EPOMAKER HE75 V2?

The EPOMAKER HE75 V2 is a compact 75% Hall Effect keyboard with adjustable magnetic-switch actuation, 8,000Hz wired and 2.4GHz polling, triple-mode connectivity, a swappable control knob and an 8,000mAh battery. This EPOMAKER HE75 V2 review covers its design, feel, software, sound and everyday usability.

EPOMAKER has been pushing further into performance-focused peripherals, and the HE75 V2 keyboard and Click Mouse (see our review here) are clear examples of that direction. Together, they aim to provide a compact, fast and customisable setup for gamers and everyday users alike.

In this EPOMAKER HE75 V2 review, we look at how the keyboard performs in real use rather than only on paper. I cover design, comfort, sound, responsiveness, software and overall value to see whether its specifications and price make sense in day-to-day use.

EPOMAKER HE75 V2 Overview

The EPOMAKER HE75 V2 measures approximately 12.75 × 5.19 × 1.69 inches (324 × 132 × 43mm) and weighs 1.009kg (2.22lb). Its front height is 19mm and rear height is 32mm, with a two-stage adjustable kickstand offering 5.8°, 9° and 12° typing angles.

The HE75 V2 makes a strong first impression with its compact 75% footprint and ANSI US QWERTY layout. It is a gaming keyboard available in Black and White case colours, designed to retain the keys most people use while freeing up more desk space than a full-size board.

With the 75% layout, you retain the full QWERTY area but lose the numeric keypad found on the right of a traditional full-size keyboard. Coming from a full-size board, the more compact arrangement, especially the arrow-key cluster, can take a little getting used to.

In the top-right corner, there is a swappable control area. The fitted dial adjusts volume and mutes when pressed, but it can be replaced with the included Print Screen and Insert keys using the supplied removal tool.

An LED bar runs along the left, rear and right edges. It can cycle through patterns using a key combination or be controlled through the optional EPOMAKER software; at the rear, a USB-C charging/data port sits beside the switch for Bluetooth, off/wired and 2.4GHz dongle modes.

It feels solid in hand, and the overall build suggests EPOMAKER has aimed to balance gaming performance with a more refined typing experience.

Comfort matters even on a compact board. The HE75 V2’s typing angles, Cherry-profile keycaps and 75% layout combine to make it comfortable for longer sessions without feeling unnecessarily cramped.

The 75% format should appeal to users who want efficiency without moving to a tiny board. It keeps the essentials in a manageable footprint, making it a useful middle ground for work and play.

EPOMAKER HE75 V2 Technical Specifications

The standout specification is the combination of EPOMAKER Creamy Jade Hall Effect switches, adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 3.5mm in 0.005mm increments, 8,000Hz polling in wired and 2.4GHz modes, and a 128KHz full-board scan rate. Alongside the gasket mount, five-layer sound treatment, 8,000mAh battery and triple-mode connection options, it positions the HE75 V2 as a responsive magnetic switch style keyboard that can also serve as a flexible wireless keyboard.

Software and setup

The keyboard can be configured through onboard key combinations, and the manual explains them in reasonable depth. There is a lot to remember, though, so the EPOMAKER software is the easier route when you want deeper configuration.

The software supports EPOMAKER’s keyboard and mouse range such as the EPOMAKER Click Mouse, which is useful because there is no need to install separate applications to manage each peripheral. You can switch between compatible EPOMAKER devices within the same program to configure them.

The main keyboard menus cover the primary and function keys. From here, you can adjust Hall Effect key travel, create custom function-key combinations and change options such as the keyboard’s sleep time for 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections.

RGB settings are also available, allowing you to switch between presets, edit them or create your own lighting effects.Another useful addition is the Macro area, which collects community-created profiles for software and games. You can share your own creations and download from the many hundreds already available.

Dual 8K polling and 128KHz scan rate

One of the headline features of the EPOMAKER HE75 V2 is its focus on ultra-low-latency input through dual 8K polling and a 128KHz scan rate. Polling rate is how often the keyboard reports its state to the host PC, while scan rate is how frequently the board checks each key for changes; at 8,000Hz and with a high board-wide scan rate, the HE75 V2 is designed to minimise the delay between a keypress and the system registering it.

In practice, this is most relevant in fast-paced games where every millisecond of input delay can matter. Many users will not consciously feel the difference between typical polling rates and 8K, but the combination of high polling, Hall Effect sensing and actuation tuning helps make this rapid trigger keyboard feel consistently responsive and predictable.

Typing feel

Typing on the EPOMAKER HE75 V2 centres on its Hall Effect switches, which are designed for speed and precision. In use, this translates into a smooth, responsive feel with adjustable actuation and rapid-trigger behaviour that benefits both gaming and fast typing.

What stands out most is how different it feels from a standard mechanical keyboard. Rather than relying only on fixed mechanical switch travel, the HE75 V2 is built around response tuning, so users who like fine control over key activation are likely to appreciate it.

Sound profile

The EPOMAKER HE75 V2 is clearly designed with sound in mind, which matters for a keyboard that spends a lot of time under your fingers. Its gasket mount and layered damping create a more controlled, pleasant typing sound rather than a hollow or overly sharp one.

In practice, the sound is the satisfying clack expected from a mechanical keyboard. If you enjoy sound-tuned boards rather than a raw, unfiltered key sound, this is one area where the HE75 V2 stands out; it also makes sense to explore relevant accessories when putting together a complete desk setup.

Connectivity and Battery Life

The EPOMAKER HE75 V2 supports wired, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, giving it plenty of flexibility. That makes it easy to move between a desktop setup, laptop or portable wireless setup without changing keyboards, which is especially useful for a wireless gaming keyboard that also needs to suit everyday work.

Bluetooth supports three connections that can be swapped using a quick key combination. This is extremely useful when working across multiple macOS, Windows and Android devices.

Battery life is another key point, and the large 8,000mAh battery supports long wireless sessions without frequent recharging. In our own testing we estimate around 18 to 22 hours with RGB lighting enabled and considerably more with it switched off; the exact result will vary with brightness, effect, connection mode and use.

Final Thoughts

The EPOMAKER HE75 V2 offers a lot on paper, especially for users who want Hall Effect speed, a compact layout and a more polished sound profile. The important question is whether those features feel meaningful in everyday use rather than merely impressive in a specification list.

Overall, this is the kind of keyboard that makes the most sense for gamers and enthusiasts who want performance without giving up comfort or customisation. Its adjustable actuation, high polling, ergonomic options and shared software make it a persuasive custom mechanical style keyboard for users who want more control than a conventional board provides.

This EPOMAKER HE75 V2 review finds that the board’s strongest appeal is its blend of low-latency Hall Effect performance and practical daily features. The compact layout needs a short adjustment period for anyone moving from a full-size keyboard, but the swappable knob, triple-mode connectivity, layered sound treatment and multi-device support give it a more rounded character than a speed-first specification sheet might suggest.

Our verdict - Is the EPOMAKER HE75 V2 worth buying?

Short answer: Yes, if you want a compact Hall Effect keyboard that balances fast, adjustable input with useful comfort, sound and connectivity features.

Best for: Gamers and enthusiasts who want adjustable magnetic-switch actuation, high polling in wired/2.4GHz modes, triple-mode connectivity and a compact 75% layout.

Not ideal for: Users who require a numeric keypad or who prefer a traditional fixed-actuation mechanical switch.
