What is the EPOMAKER RT75 and TH26?<\/h2>\n\n

The EPOMAKER RT75<\/a> is a retro-styled 75% tri-mode mechanical keyboard with a detachable 1.54-inch screen that can be swapped for four keys. The EPOMAKER TH26<\/a> is a 26-key wireless numpad with five dedicated macro keys and a rotary knob. This EPOMAKER RT75 and TH26 review covers each device and how well they work together.<\/p>\n\n

This EPOMAKER RT75 and TH26 review looks at each device on its own, then asks whether the TH26<\/a> makes a useful partner for the RT75. Both are tri-mode, hot-swappable mechanical products with a retro-influenced, custom-keyboard look.<\/p>\n\n

If you want a compact main keyboard but still need number entry and programmable shortcuts, the pair could give you a more flexible desktop setup. Below is how each one handles typing, customisation and everyday use, and whether the combination earns its desk space.<\/p>\n\n

What is the EPOMAKER RT75?<\/h2>\n\n

The EPOMAKER RT75<\/a> is an 83-key, 75% mechanical keyboard with a detachable display in the top-right corner. Keep the 1.54-inch TFT screen fitted to show custom images, GIFs or information, or remove it and install four replacement keys. That modular idea gives the board a distinctive look while letting you choose between a screen and a more conventional cluster of extra keys.<\/p>\n\n

It supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connections. EPOMAKER lists a 5,000mAh battery, a gasket-mounted structure, hot-swappable mechanical switches, PBT dye-sublimated Cherry-profile keycaps and a six-layer sound-dampening system. The EPOMAKER RT75<\/a>is available with EPOMAKER Creamy Jade linear switches or Crystal silent tactile switches.<\/p>\n\n

EPOMAKER RT75 overview<\/h2>\n\n

At 352 \u00d7 142 \u00d7 45mm and approximately 1,165g, the EPOMAKER RT75<\/a> is a substantial keyboard for a 75% layout. Its compact format keeps the main typing area and a useful set of navigation keys while taking up less space than a full-size board. It has an ABS case, a PC plate and a fixed 5.8\u00b0 typing angle, so there is no adjustable kickstand if you prefer a steeper or flatter position.<\/p>\n\n\n

The screen is the obvious talking point, but its removable design is arguably the more practical part. A display can add personality or show information at a glance, while the four-key alternative gives you physical keys in the same space. That makes the RT75 less dependent on whether you find a small screen useful day to day.<\/p>\n\n

The board’s gasket mount and six-layer internal dampening are intended to soften the typing feel and control case noise. The factory-lubed switches and plate-mounted stabilisers should help it feel ready to use without immediate modifications. Hot-swap support also lets enthusiasts try compatible 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches later.<\/p>\n\n

Typing, sound and everyday use<\/h2>\n\n

The EPOMAKER RT75<\/a> mechanical switches give it a more traditional typing experience than a magnetic or Hall Effect gaming keyboard. The two switch options let buyers choose between a linear feel and a silent tactile option. The gasket mount and layered dampening are designed to make the board feel and sound more considered than a basic plastic keyboard.<\/p>\n\n

\"Extra<\/a>
Extra keys including Mac compatible keys are included with the EPOMAKER RT75<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

The Cherry-profile PBT keycaps and fixed 5.8\u00b0 angle should feel familiar to many users, although ergonomics are personal. The lack of adjustable feet is worth noting if you regularly change your typing angle. The compact layout also frees up desk space, but anyone who relies on a dedicated number pad will need an external one, which is where the TH26 comes in.<\/p>\n\n

Inside the box are two additional keys that let you switch between Windows and Mac use. The screen makes the RT75 visually different from many 75% keyboards, but it is not essential to the core typing experience.<\/p>\n\n

A closer look at the modular display and keys<\/h2>\n\n

The biggest selling point of the EPOMAKER RT75<\/a> is the swappable 1.54-inch display and keys. The display comes fitted by default and can be removed simply by pulling it out gently.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can navigate the display with Function plus Page Up\/Page Down and Home\/End. That lets you browse screens such as a status display and keyboard settings, including RGB patterns, brightness, switching between Windows and Mac keyboard layouts and showing custom images.<\/p>\n\n

You can create or download images and animations within the EPOMAKER software. There are some cool designs created by other members, and the software lets you easily add your own from images and GIFs, or draw directly in the software.<\/p>\n\n

If you would rather have keys, the display can be replaced with four. The box includes extra keys for Print, Scroll, Pause, Insert, Cmd and Opt, which you simply install. Don’t forget to define them in the software afterwards.<\/p>\n\n
