The EPOMAKER HE 68 packs a 65% QWERTY ANSI US Space-saving Layout Keyboard, with small dimensions and very low weight (0.70kg) that packs EPOMAKER magnetic switches and only wire (Type-C) connection with a high polling rate and low latency (0.125ms). The design simply aims for gamers and the build quality is very good due to the use of ABS material and we didn't notice any weird flexing when using it. All buttons, as with all EPOMAKER products, are hot-swappable the used keycaps are made out of PBT, so the surface should be somewhat more resistant to turning shiny from skin oils, compared to ABS.

Typing with this keyboard is satisfactory, even as the keyboard becomes smaller and smaller, time is needed for muscles to get familiar with the new placement of the keys and slightly smaller keys. While both the HE 68 and HE 75 models use magnetic switches, they come from different vendors and have differences in weight (0.70kg vs 1.1kg), connection ports (only Type-C vs 2.4G/BT/TypeC), dimensions, and retail price ($50.49 vs $99.99).

The EPOMAKER branded magnetic switches offer a high level of customization and adjustment of dead zones. The EPOMAKER driver GUI is OK and has tabs for all major functions and users should use it to maximize the overall experience. At the bottom, the foot adjustment is welcomed. All letters are printed onto the keycaps, in total darkness you might have some problem looking at keys and identifying what key is for what use.

Overall we find the EPOMAKER ΗΕ 68 a properly priced solution for gamers who want magnetic switches, proper software support, and advanced features that other manufacturers offer (SOCD) and for the retail price of $50, we find this solution a welcomed addition to the entire EPOMAKER mechanical keyboard lineup.
