EPOMAKER launched the Hack70 tri-mode mechanical keyboard in China on June 10. The device targets gamers and typists who want a compact layout with modern connectivity options. It arrives as a new entry in the brand's lineup of affordable peripherals.
Compact mechanical board features gasket mount, hot-swappable switches, and RGB underglow for gamers seeking value.
The keyboard uses a 65% orthogonal layout that packs 70 keys into a small footprint. EPOMAKER built the shell from ABS plastic and added a PC plate for structural support. The keycaps feature an XDA profile with PBT material and dye-sublimation printing.
Specifications
- Layout: 65% (70-key) orthogonal layout
- Material: ABS plastic shell, PC plate, PBT keycaps with XDA profile and dye-sublimation process
- Structure: Gasket mount, full hot-swappable PCB with underglow RGB LEDs
- Acoustic Dampening: 5-layer sound-absorbing filling
- Polling Rate: 1000Hz
EPOMAKER equipped the Hack70 with a gasket mount structure to improve typing feel. The PCB supports full hot-swappable switches and integrates RGB underglow LEDs. Five layers of sound-absorbing filling reduce internal noise during use.
The board runs at a 1000Hz polling rate for responsive input tracking. A built-in 3000mAh battery provides up to 72 hours of continuous use on a single charge. The chassis measures 21.7mm in front height and 39.5mm in back height, with a total weight of 676g.
EPOMAKER priced the Hack70 at 369 CNY for the base model in China. This translates to approximately $54.38 USD based on current exchange rates. The keyboard remains available only through Chinese retail channels at this time.
The Hack70 follows a common design path for budget mechanical keyboards that prioritize value over premium materials. It shares similarities with other 65% tri-mode boards in the market, but adds specific acoustic tuning and hot-swap support to stand out.
