Epomaker TH40

great support and great keyboard

keyboard is great and easy to customize the layout. Had trouble with the firmware (just me overlooking a button), and support was super helpful

Beautyful Keyboard that now works with VIA 3

I recently switched to this keyboard from a DIY Romeo 40% keyboard with the same layout, as I was looking for additional features like hot-swappable switches, RGB lighting, and wireless connectivity. This keyboard has met my expectations and improved my overall typing and coding experience. The compact layout remains practical, and I’ve customized the space bars to function as Space Fn, with the area in between set to backspace. While I prefer XDA profile keycaps, the ones delivered with the keyboard were not ideal for me. Despite that, the build quality, responsiveness, and added features make this an excellent choice for those who prefer minimal yet functional keyboards.

Overall great IF you are willing to mess around to get the VIA customisation to work

Very nice keyboard overall with one issue… the sloppy VIA implementation. I have managed to work around all issues but one, but it took time. The layer modifier code trigger and macro implementation does not work properly (if you code the macros manually and paste them all in in one session then the macros work). There are also other missing default VIA functionality, e.g. short and long press VIA functionality where long press of shift is shift and short press a bracket ( or ). Now when I have managed to set it up ALMOST properly it is really really (yes, two really) good. Sounds and feels great, with other tactical switches. The wireless implementation is perfect. Switches device very quickly. Very light keyboard (430 grams), so it is a perfect keyboard to use when you are on the move. Good quality plastic case with adjustable angle! Comes with good quality keycaps, but I do not use them. There is NO other competition in this market segment (easily accessible, wireless, light, 40% keyboard). If they would fix the VIA implementation it would be perfect.
