EPOMAKER TH65 65% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Knob, Hot-Swap and RGB

For a setup that needs a compact mechanical keyboard with wireless and wired connection options, the EPOMAKER TH65 combines a 65% layout with Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C connectivity. Its 66 keys leave more desk room for mouse movement than a full-size keyboard, while the integrated knob gives you a physical control for media volume.

The black Crystal version is listed with silent tactile switches and an 8000mAh battery. Its adjustable kickstand offers several typing angles, and the hot-swappable design lets you change compatible switches without replacing the whole keyboard.

Practical tips

Choose the connection that fits your setup: Bluetooth or the included 2.4GHz receiver for wireless use, or the detachable USB-A-to-USB-C cable for a wired connection. The listed compatible systems include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and iPadOS, the product details specify Windows 7 and macOS 11 Big Sur as minimum operating system versions. Compatibility can still depend on the device and connection method, so those details matter when switching between a computer, tablet, or phone.

The 65% layout has 66 keys, so consider how you use a number pad or other full-size keyboard keys before choosing a compact board. For a smaller desk, that reduced footprint can leave more room beside the keyboard. The included keycap-and-switch puller and extra switches are useful if you plan to customize it, while the knob provides a quick physical way to adjust media volume.

Why it makes sense

This model brings together features that often require trade-offs in a keyboard: three connection modes, hot-swap switches, RGB backlighting, and a compact layout. The gasket-mount construction and sound-dampening layers are intended to give keystrokes a deeper, softer sound profile. The listed switch type for this version is silent tactile, which makes it the more relevant choice for someone who wants tactile feedback without the clickier sound associated with some mechanical switches.

Its 8000mAh battery supports a wireless-first desk setup, while the included cable gives you a wired alternative. The package also includes a 2.4GHz receiver, a keycap-and-switch puller, extra switches, and a summarized manual. It suits you if you want a compact board that can connect in more than one way and offers room to change switches later.

What to know

The 66-key layout is the main practical compromise: users who regularly rely on a dedicated number pad or a full-size arrangement may prefer a larger keyboard. A knob and RGB lighting add controls and customization, but the product details do not describe a dedicated number pad. The board is listed at 11.75 x 4.02 x 1.63 inches and 700 g, with a plastic enclosure and a polycarbonate plate.

The kickstand is adjustable, with listed angles of 6, 8, or 10.5 degrees, so you can choose among several typing positions. Hot-swap support is useful for experimenting with switches, but the supplied details do not specify which replacement switch models are compatible. The included silent tactile switch description should be treated as specific to this version rather than a promise that every TH65 configuration has the same feel or sound.

When it makes sense

The TH65 is a fit for gaming, everyday typing, study, or programming when desk space and connection flexibility matter more than a full-size key arrangement. Its Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and wired modes offer different ways to connect, while the kickstand and volume knob add practical adjustments without taking up the space of a separate control device.

It might not be a great match if your routine depends on a dedicated number pad or you want a full-size keyboard layout. If a smaller footprint, switch customization, and the option to use the board wirelessly or by cable are higher priorities, the TH65 puts those features in one 66-key mechanical keyboard.
