Title: Is EPOMAKER TH80 Pro and Keydous NJ80 the same?
Post by: cnycnycny2 on Wed, 26 April 2023, 02:29:23

Hi guys, I am a bit confuse here,

Some Reddit users claim that they are essentially the same, except for the poron foam, but others have suggested that the PCBs are also distinct and that the NJ80 lacks a brass plate. All of this information is rather perplexing.

Hoping to hear from someone who has personal experience with either of these models and can offer some insight. Many Thanks!

I would bet money the case and knob are the same.
Case molds cost a LOT while plates and pcbs are cheap.

If the Epomaker has everything you want or need then there's no need to spend the extra. There's also some weirdness going on with the Keydous, like they had more options planned and never implemented (such as the screen) which just makes it confusing about what you're actually getting.
