Quick answer
Choose the EPOMAKER TH80 V2 Pro if you want a roomier 75% layout with a long-lasting battery and premium build; pick the TH65 if you prefer a smaller footprint and a quieter, tactile switch option.
Layout differences: 75% vs 65%
The TH80 V2 Pro uses a 75% layout with 78 keys, keeping the function row and arrow keys while freeing desk space. The TH65 uses a 65% layout, which drops the function row for an even more compact footprint—but you'll need to rely on layers for those keys.
Battery and wireless life
If you value long wireless sessions, the TH80 V2 Pro's 10000mAh battery delivers 200+ hours of use, which is a major advantage over the TH65's unspecified battery. The TH65 is also wireless, but its battery life isn't stated, so it's a less predictable option for heavy daily use.
Build and extra features
The TH80 V2 Pro weighs over 1kg with a thick plastic shell, a metal volume knob, and a glass screen—features that add a premium feel and quick controls. The TH65 is lighter and simpler, which makes it easier to move around but less feature-rich.
Trade-offs to consider
- Function row vs. compactness: The TH80 V2 Pro keeps the function row and arrows; the TH65 drops the function row for a smaller footprint. If you use F-keys often, choose the TH80 V2 Pro; if you prefer minimal space, the TH65 works. Count how often you use F-keys before deciding.
- Battery life vs. portability: The TH80 V2 Pro offers 200+ hours on a 10000mAh battery, while the TH65's battery is unspecified. If you need long wireless sessions, the TH80 V2 Pro is safer; if you're near a charger and want a lighter board, the TH65 is fine. For travel, the TH65's lighter weight may offset its shorter battery.
- Premium features vs. simplicity: The TH80 V2 Pro includes a metal knob, glass screen, and heavier build; the TH65 is simpler and lighter. Choose the TH80 V2 Pro for tactile controls and a sturdy feel; choose the TH65 for a no-frills, budget-friendly compact. If you don't need a knob or screen, the TH65 saves money and desk space.
