Epomaker TH80 Pro

The latency of the Epomaker TH80 Pro is too high for competitive gaming, but it's excellent for more casual gaming in any genre. It has great build quality and is available in a range of stock Epomaker or Gateron Pro switches. We tested this keyboard with Epomaker Flamingo switches which are very lightweight and have very short pre-travel providing an extremely sensitive and responsive-feeling gaming experience.
