Epomaker Refreshes TH80 V2 and Pro with Better Materials and Sound Dampening

Epomaker has announced the TH80 V2 and TH80 V2 Pro, a dual refresh of one of its more recognizable 75% layouts, with the updates centered on improved materials and built-in sound dampening.

The TH80 family has been a fixture in the budget-to-midrange enthusiast space, and the V2 generation keeps the same 75% form factor that made the original a practical pick for desk setups that need arrow keys and function row access without going full tenkeyless. What's changed is what's underneath and around the switches: Epomaker is targeting the acoustic profile this time, adding sound-dampening measures that the original lacked.

The split between the standard TH80 V2 and the TH80 V2 Pro follows Epomaker's familiar tiering approach, where the Pro variant typically steps up with additional features or premium material choices. The updated materials across both boards suggest Epomaker is responding to the ongoing demand for better case feel and reduced hollowness, two of the most common criticisms leveled at entry-level 75% boards in this price bracket.

Sound dampening at this tier usually means some combination of case foam, pcb foam, or a gasket-adjacent mounting system, and if Epomaker is calling it out specifically in the announcement, it's likely a meaningful part of the pitch rather than a thin sheet of foam thrown in as an afterthought. Whether that translates to a genuinely thocky result or just reduces the worst of the ping will be the real test once units ship and the community starts posting sound tests.

For anyone who already owns the original TH80, the V2 refresh gives a legitimate reason to look again rather than just rehashing the same board in a new colorway.
