The keyboard has a lovely sound profile and design, and comes with user-friendly software for customization.
Its 96% layout makes it great for the office.
However, stock switch choice is limited and there is some flex in the body.
And it doesnt cost a lot either.
you’ve got the option to pick one up for just $82 / 89.
With its lovely design and intuitive companion software, the TH99 is a very loveable keyboard.
However, stock switch choice is limited, and there is some flex in the body.
Is it still one of thebest mechanical keyboards?
Read my full Epomaker TH99 review to find out.
And the TH99 is no different.
It sports a lovely design that fits right into the office.
It comes in two colorways: white blue or black.
The TH99 has a dedicated switch that lets you toggle between layouts.
And like on most other keyboards, you get tri-mode connectivity: Bluetooth, wired and 2.4GHz.
Theres only one set of stock switches you’ve got the option to get: Creamy Jade linears.
I used to love tactile switches but the more I jot down, the more I love linear.
The Creamy Jades are lovely to work on.
PBT ones are far more durable and oil-resistant than ABS ones.
They also dont get shiny over time.
you’ve got the option to see the results compared to other boards Ive tested above.
Catch me hitting my weekly targets with ease now.
Music to my ears
Theres also a lot to love about the Epomaker TH99s sound profile.
All of these, combined with the double-shot PBT keycaps and Creamy Jade switches, create thatthockI love.
That creamy moniker is no lie (even though the word itself gives me the heebie-jeebies).
Theres quite a bit of flex in the body.
Twisting it by holding both sides reveals the extent of this.
This is the same issue Ive encountered with theEpomaker EK68($89).
Thankfully, the TH99s keys dont dip as deep into the PCB as they do on the EK68.
A set of any of these usually costs more than $10.
It comes down to personal preference, and theres a plethora of switch options out there.
I also love thethock-ysound profile thanks to the layers and layers of dampening and gasket mount.
But there are a couple of noteworthy flaws.
Also, the all-plastic body twists significantly.
For the price, though, the TH99 offers a joyful typing experience.
All this for just $82?
