Buy the XVX M98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard.
It types just as good, keeps the numpad you'll actually use, and costs half as much as a gaming feature set most people will never max out.
What was compared
- XVX M98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard · $67.99
- Epomaker HE75 V2 Gaming Keyboard · $129.99
Five reasons
1. Keep your numpad, skip the compromise
The M98 keeps a full number pad in its 96% layout while the HE75 V2 drops it for a compact 75% frame. If you enter spreadsheets or invoice numbers daily, that missing pad is a daily annoyance, not a style choice.
2. Same creamy feel for about half the cost
At $67.99 the M98 costs roughly half the HE75 V2's $129.99, and both get called creamy and thocky by reviewers in the same breath. Unless Hall Effect switch tech itself is the draw, you are paying the extra $62 for a badge, not a better typing feel.
3. Fewer quality complaints out of the box
Review consensus flags the HE75 V2 as held back by inconsistent software testing and an average build for its price. The M98 draws comments like solid addition to my setup and worth a look, with no such quality flags surfacing in the research.
4. Rapid trigger you will never actually use
The HE75 V2's 0.01mm adjustable actuation and 8K polling exist to shave milliseconds off competitive shooters' inputs. Unless you are grinding ranked CS or Valorant, that precision never shows up in typing or casual play. If that is you, go for it, but that is not most keyboard buyers.
5. Yes, its switches outlast the M98's. Irrelevant.
The HE75 V2's magnetic Hall Effect switches avoid contact wear and can outlast standard mechanical switches by a wide margin. But the M98's pre-lubed mechanical switches already survive tens of millions of keystrokes, far more than any normal typist reaches before wanting a new board anyway.
