Epomaker recently launched their 30% one-handed Hall Effect gaming keyboard, the HE30, and in this video I put it through a proper no-sugar-coating review to see if it actually lives up to the hype. I go over what you get in the box (docs, puller, a really nice braided Type‑C cable, extra switches with stem locks, ribbon attachment, and even a free screwdriver—big thumbs up), then I break down the design, angle, and why I’m glad it’s not a flat base like another one-handed board I reviewed before. I also check the product page claims: around $42, 8K polling/scan rate, and rapid trigger down to 0.01mm. I talk about the web-based software too—yeah, it was buggy at first, but they fixed most of the issues I reported and it’s working as expected now. Then we get into RGB brightness, a real sound test (it’s on the louder side), keycap quality (some cost cutting), and a teardown where I confirm foam-on-foam dampening plus a PET layer. My final verdict: build quality and performance are solid, accessories are decent, and the internal dampening is good. But the switches need an upgrade because the stem locks make them a pain to pull out—kind of defeats the point of hot-swap. If you’re buying it mainly for Hall Effect performance and you’re not planning to swap switches immediately, you’ll be fine.
