About Epomaker
Epomaker, short for Epoch of Makers, launched in 2019 on a crowdfunding campaign for the GK68XS, a keyboard whose specifications were shaped directly by community feedback rather than a corporate product team. The company is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with regional stores worldwide, and it has grown from that single crowdfunded board into a full lineup spanning seven keyboard series, gaming mice, headsets, switches, and keycaps.
What distinguishes Epomaker from most budget-to-midrange keyboard brands is a dedicated acoustic testing lab, where the company puts every product through standardized sound profiling and material tuning before it ships, under the tagline Crafted to sound right. That focus on acoustics shows up directly in boards like the TH99, which pairs silent linear switches with a multi-layer damped gasket mount, the kind of sound-engineering detail more often associated with pricier enthusiast builds.

Why we recognized Epomaker
The DeskRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. Epomaker earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, used at a real desk, and judged on merit.
Epomaker products we rated highly
EPOMAKER TH99 Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
In our testing, the TH99's 8000 mAh battery ran for roughly 800 hours with the backlight off, the largest cell among the wireless boards we reviewed, which turns charging into an occasional chore rather than a weekly one. Its Sea Salt Silent linear switches sit in a gasket mount with five damping layers, making it one of the quieter boards we tested, and a single key toggles the whole board between Mac and Windows layouts. The 96% layout keeps a full number pad in a frame much closer to tenkeyless width than to full-size.
