If you’re shopping for a 65% keyboard, you already know the “small details” are the whole point—sound, feel, and how stable the board stays after long typing sessions. In this video I compare two very similar-looking options from Epomaker: the Galaxy65 and the F65 Pro. On paper they overlap a lot, but once you start typing, they behave differently, and those quiet design choices shape the day-to-day experience. I break down the unboxing intent (Galaxy65 feels like it wants to be opened and tuned, F65 Pro feels ready to use), then go into build and mounting. The Galaxy65 is a CNC anodized aluminum board around 1.12 kg with a ball-catch system that makes modding easier—no flex, no hollow feel, and a firm, controlled typing experience from the FR4 plate and six-layer dampening. The F65 Pro is lighter ABS plastic (about 0.8 kg) with a PC plate and flex-cut PCB, so the keystrokes compress a bit more for a softer, more forgiving feel. I also cover switches, RGB/knob behavior, battery life (both strong, Galaxy65 slightly better with lighting), and customization—Galaxy65 supports VIA, while the F65 Pro leans on onboard shortcuts. My honest takeaway: it’s not about “better.” Galaxy65 is the one you grow with and tune for consistency; F65 Pro is the one you enjoy every day with comfort and a more expressive, interactive vibe.
