A mechanical keyboard can spruce up any home office, but a lot of the best models don’t come cheap — well, except for one: Epomaker’s TH80 Pro. It’s our top pick for people on a budget, and right now it’s even more affordable at Amazon where you can buy it for $53.99 ($36 off). That’s a new record low price and is available on all versions of the keyboard, including those with Gateron and Budgerigar switches.
The 75 percent mechanical keyboard boasts an impressive set of features for its price. It offers a fun and terrific typing experience, with colorful per-key RGB lighting. Yet it’s highly customizable too, with hot-swappable switches and keys that can be programmed. The TH80 Pro also comes with other helpful perks, like a volume knob and multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth and even support for 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle.
Admittedly, it’s plastic build doesn’t feel as high-end as some of its expensive rivals, it’s not as long-lasting, and the board doesn’t offer as many advanced software tricks. Still, if you’re on a budget, few mechanical keyboards offer as much value for just half a Benjamin.
