Epomaker Unveils HE30 30% One‑Handed Hall‑Effect Left‑Hand Gaming Keypad

Epomaker introduced the HE30 as a 30% one‑handed left‑hand gaming keypad that ships with 36 programmable keys, Hall‑effect magnetic switches with 0.01 mm adjustable actuation, and an 8,000 Hz polling and scan rate that the company pairs with a 0.125 ms latency claim. The launch was announced via a New York City press release on February 14, 2026 and Epomaker positions the HE30 for competitive FPS and MOBA play with a focus on low‑sensitivity mouse users.

The HE30’s switch package is described in Epomaker copy as “Aurora pre‑lubed switches” with Hall‑effect sensing and “0.01 Adjustable Actuation Magnetic Switch&SOCD&DKS.” KitGuru’s hands‑on writeup echoed the Hall‑effect or magnetic switch description and called them factory‑lubed magnetic switches. The original product summary also lists the keypad’s 36 programmable keys, which Epomaker repeats in its spec bullets as “30% one‑hand Layout with 36 Keys.”

Epomaker’s electronics and latency figures are front and center in the specification list with “8K Hz Polling & 8K Scan Rate” and an explicit “8,000 Hz Polling & 0.125ms Latency” line on the product page. The company also advertises DKS/SOCD support alongside the high polling and scan rates, while Technetbooks notes the HE30 requires a wired USB connection and does not include Bluetooth or battery power, aligning with Epomaker copy that refers to the HE30 as a wired gaming keyboard.

The physical design aims for portability without sacrificing acoustic tuning. Epomaker details a tray‑mount structure with five layers of sound‑dampening materials and marketing copy urges users to “stop compromising on desk space and start enjoying the high‑end acoustics and portable agility that the HE30 portable keyboard provides.” KitGuru describes the same tray‑mounted structure and multi‑layered noise reduction and calls the resulting sound a “creamy” acoustic profile. Keycaps are listed as double‑shot PBT by KitGuru and Technetbooks, while lighting is per‑key south‑facing RGB with independent side light strips and multiple dynamic modes on Epomaker’s specification list.

Layout and ergonomics emphasize a left‑hand competitive edge. Epomaker and the press copy state the ultra‑compressed 30% layout “retains the F‑key row while expanding the TGB key area,” and touts a compact footprint that leaves “ample space for low‑sensitivity mouse movements” or “massive swipe room for huge low‑sensitivity mouse flicks.” A detachable wrist strap is included to secure the HE30 to a gear bag for travel and tournaments, and Epomaker frames the product under a “ready-to-fight-on-the-go” philosophy.

Availability is listed across multiple channels with Epomaker stating the HE30 is on the official Epomaker website, the Epomaker Amazon store, and an AliExpress store. Pricing varies by report: Epomaker’s press release and republished site copy list the official website price at $49.99, KitGuru cited a retail price of $44.99, and Technetbooks rounded the price to about $50. The keypad is offered in two color schemes, Black & Orange and White & Purple. Epomaker’s product copy closes with a straight sell line, “Meet EPOMAKER HE30, the ultimate one‑handed Hall Effect keyboard featuring left‑hand layout.”
