Epomaker at IFA 2026: From Hall Effect Gaming Keyboards to Retro Designs, Low-Profile Models and Its First Headset

Epomaker arrived at IFA 2026 with a lineup that showed just how broad the mechanical keyboard market has become. Rather than focusing on a single flagship model, the company used its booth to present multiple product families aimed at very different users, ranging from affordable mechanical keyboards and retro-inspired designs to Hall Effect gaming models, experimental layouts and premium aluminum builds.

During our booth tour, an Epomaker representative walked us through the company’s main keyboard series and also showed an expanding range of peripherals, including new mice and the GX1, which was introduced as Epomaker’s first headset.

TH Series targets users entering the mechanical keyboard market

The presentation began with Epomaker’s TH Series, which the company positions toward the more accessible end of its lineup.

According to the representative, these keyboards are designed to offer a satisfying typing experience straight out of the box without requiring extensive modification.

Epomaker also offers the TH range in multiple sizes and layouts. Examples shown at IFA included a 108-key full-size keyboard, a 75% layout and a much smaller 30% configuration.

Different language layouts are also available in the series, an important consideration for a brand targeting users across multiple European markets.

Rather than forcing every user into the same form factor, the TH family is intended to provide a relatively straightforward entry point into Epomaker’s ecosystem across several keyboard sizes.

RT Series brings a distinctly retro aesthetic to the desk

The next family was the RT Series, built around a retro-inspired visual identity.

Here, the keyboard is intended to be part of the desk setup itself rather than simply a functional input device. Epomaker showed several designs aimed at users who want their keyboard to match a more stylized workspace.

Many models in the RT family also incorporate additional hardware features such as built-in screens and volume knobs, although the exact configuration varies between models.

That combination of retro styling and modern controls gives the RT range a noticeably different personality from the more conventional TH Series.

G84 HE represents Epomaker’s Hall Effect gaming range

Gaming was another major part of the booth.

Epomaker presented the G84 HE as part of its Hall Effect keyboard lineup, using magnetic Hall Effect switches rather than conventional mechanical switch technology.

The company’s gaming range extends beyond a single size. According to the booth presentation, Epomaker offers Hall Effect keyboards in several layouts, including full-size, 75% and compact 30% configurations.

The G84 HE shown to us sits within this performance-oriented family.

Rather than focusing on styling alone, this series is aimed at gamers who are specifically looking for magnetic-switch technology.

Maker Series experiments with unusual keyboard layouts

One of the more interesting sections of the booth was the Maker Series.

Unlike the mainstream keyboards elsewhere in the lineup, these models explore less conventional formats.

Epomaker showed several examples, including:

• Alice-style layouts
• Split keyboards
• Low-profile designs
• Ortholinear keyboards

The point of the Maker Series appears to be variety and experimentation.

These are not necessarily keyboards designed for the broadest possible audience. Instead, they target enthusiasts who already know what kind of typing layout or ergonomic approach they prefer and are willing to move beyond a standard rectangular keyboard.

LAB Series looks toward newer keyboard technologies

Epomaker also introduced its LAB Series, which the representative described as a platform for newer and more experimental keyboard technologies.

One model highlighted during the booth tour was the Magcore 87, which uses what Epomaker described as an inductive switch.

The company positioned the LAB family as a place for technologies that may represent what comes next for keyboards, rather than simply another variation on traditional mechanical switches.

Our booth presentation did not go deeply into the technical operation of the inductive switch system, so it would be premature to draw detailed performance conclusions from the short demonstration alone.

Still, the Magcore 87 was clearly being presented as one of the more forward-looking products in Epomaker’s portfolio.

Luma Series focuses on low-profile keyboards for professional users

For office and productivity users, Epomaker highlighted its Luma Series.

These keyboards use a low-profile design and are intended for professional and office environments where a thinner keyboard may be preferable to a conventional mechanical model.

The representative specifically highlighted Mac users as one of the audiences Epomaker has in mind for this range.

The Luma family therefore occupies a different space from the gaming-focused HE models or the enthusiast-oriented Maker Series, with a cleaner profile aimed more at everyday work.

Galaxy Series moves into heavier aluminum construction

The Galaxy Series represents the more premium side of Epomaker’s lineup.

According to the company, Galaxy keyboards use aluminum cases, giving them significantly more weight and a more substantial feel than lighter plastic-bodied models.

The extra mass also helps the keyboard remain firmly in position on the desk.

For users who associate premium mechanical keyboards with metal construction, the Galaxy range is Epomaker’s answer within its broader portfolio.

Epomaker is moving beyond keyboards

The biggest strategic change visible at the booth may not have been a keyboard at all.

Epomaker is expanding into a broader peripheral ecosystem and showed a new line of mice at IFA.

The company had several different mouse designs on display and said more models are planned.

That suggests Epomaker does not want its brand to remain limited exclusively to keyboards.

GX1 is Epomaker’s first headset

The company is also entering personal audio for gaming and desktop use.

Epomaker introduced the GX1 as its first headset, with the product scheduled to arrive this year.

The representative also confirmed that additional headsets and mice are expected to follow.

That expansion makes sense alongside the company’s established keyboard business. Instead of selling one part of the desktop setup, Epomaker is gradually building a wider family of peripherals around the same audience.

Eight product families show how fragmented the keyboard market has become

What stood out at Epomaker’s IFA 2026 booth was not one spectacular feature but the sheer breadth of its keyboard strategy.

The TH Series caters to users looking for a relatively accessible starting point. RT focuses on visual character. The Hall Effect range targets gaming. Maker experiments with unconventional layouts. LAB explores newer switch technologies. Luma moves toward professional low-profile designs, while Galaxy emphasizes heavier aluminum construction.

At the same time, Epomaker is beginning to push beyond keyboards with its first headset and a growing mouse lineup.

For a company strongly associated with mechanical keyboards, IFA 2026 showed a brand trying to serve almost every corner of the enthusiast desktop market, while gradually turning itself into a broader peripheral maker.
