Epomaker and Feker are partnering on a new mechanical keyboard, the Galaxy80. If you are a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, then you should be familiar with these companies already. The Galaxy80 aims to offer a streamlined design that saves on desk space, as well as improved acoustics while typing, all while keeping the cost relatively low.
The Galaxy80 uses the TKL formfactor, so users still get all the essential keys they need, while minimising the space the keyboard takes up on the desk. This makes it an ideal form factor for those who need to take their keyboard on the go, or simply want less clutter on their desk. The leaf-spring gasket arrangement at the heart of its design offers a comfortable typing experience, reducing fatigue during long sessions and providing a responsive touch with each keystroke.
The keyboard's aluminium alloy shell is durable, making it ideal for long-term use. The sturdy construction provides a stable foundation for each keystroke while withstanding regular wear and tear. Its modern appearance and colour schemes make it suitable for both gamers and professionals.
The Galaxy80 includes a PORON sandwich cotton layer, an IXPE switch pad, a PET acoustic pad, an EMDP switch cotton layer, and a PET bottom pad. These components combine to provide sharp, clear keystrokes that produce a pleasing sound. Under the key caps, you'll find Marble White mechanical switches, which are tactile and do offer audible feedback in the form of a click, like CherryMX Blue switches. If you'd rather use a different switch type, then there is good news, as the keyboard is hot-swappable.
This keyboard offers wired and wireless connections, providing flexibility for various use cases. You can connect it with a USB-C cable or switch to Bluetooth or 2.4GHz for wireless. With Bluetooth, the Galaxy80 can connect to up to three devices simultaneously and switch between them. The impressive 4000mAh battery sustains lengthy work and gaming marathons. The Epomaker x Feker Galaxy80 is now available from both the Epomaker and Feker websites for $105.99/€99.99.
