Epomaker TH80-X vs Shadow-X… It’s not even close…

[@jacksone8573]

Love the vid! My fave is the Shadow-X for sure. Aside from the dial not being for volume. KEEP IT UP!

[@hardwired2]

Appreciate it bro! 💯

That shot where your hands were see through while typing on the keyboard was awesome

[@hardwired2]

Thank you! 😊❤️

Yo. 3.8k subscribers? This whole video is right there along side the huge channels in terms of production value. Edit: By "right there along side" I think I mean a notch above. Okay fine i'll subscribe.

[@hardwired2]

Appreciate comments like this so, so much bro! Thank you 😊

[@hardwired2]

Also… you joined KZbin 18 YEARS AGO. That’s insane! Awesome to see that you’re still uploading 👏

[@thisnameistaken]

Oh yeah I was pretty OG haha. I've taken a few several year hiatuses lol but I always find my way back. Maybe I'll step up my game and start producing some "higher demand/higher value" content one of these days. Keep up the great vids! @@hardwired2

You are a real professional when it comes to keyboards. I really need the advice of a very knowleadgable person in keyboards. I bought the razer huntsman mini and then I heard of the woothing 60e. I want to say that I have really low experience with expensive keyboards but for whatever reason my vulcan roccat tkl feels nicer and more premium on touch - could be the back, the case etc, maybe its because its plastic and its more user friendly? than the razer huntsman mini. (i have the purple switches on my razer and no analog ones atm) - paid 120$ for it My question is, if I buy the woothing do you think it will be a change in percieved build quality since I head its made by plastic? Is it worth doing the upgrade? The most important things for me is performance and build quality. (woothing is 180$ in my country) - sorry for the off topic

[@hardwired2]

Hello 😊 The build quality of the 60HE isn’t great, so in that sense I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade. However, the performance well exceeds the huntsman mini, so if you’re looking for more performance, I’d say it’s worth the upgrade. Hope I could help :)

Thank you so much for your answer! @@hardwired2

Great Video, I was pretty upset when Razor stopped supporting Mac that was all I used for around 10 years of so up until 2 months ago. I was using a third party plug in that aloud you to use Razer products on Mac but it stopped working and then my mouse and keyboard stopped working. I then stumbled upon Nuphy and ended up getting the Halo 75 v2 and I love it , but along the way I have gone down the rabbit hole of keyboards and its amazing how many choices there are. Im looking at getting the whole line of Halo 75v2s not all at once but maybe one a month lol I am just really happy with the Halo and it will be the start of my collection. keep up the great work

[@hardwired2]

@@DanielDChannel Thank you so much! Yes, I’ve heard of Nuphy and their Halo 75 v2. Almost bought one a little while back, but held off (at least for now lol) and ya it really is crazy how many options there are for keyboards out there. Thanks for watching :) ☺️

@@hardwired2 your most welcome 👍👍

Nice vid mate

Appreciate it :)

Which keyboard in your opinion sounds better

[@hardwired2]

…tbh the black one 💯

[@Smaiky_so]

This video is fire but i have a question Ehould i get hyper x alloy red switches or on of the keyboards that you showed in this video and which one is the best because am thinking of getting the Epo maker shadow x (I want jt for programming and gaming)

[@hardwired2]

Thank you! Personally I think these boards look quite a bit better than the Hyper-X you mentioned. However, if you’re going to be doing gaming/programming, I’d have to recommend a board closer to a full size layout since I think you’ll be missing those extra keys if you chose one of these. If you don’t think that’s an issue though, the Shadow-X is a fantastic board. As is the TH80-X, I just haven’t found my specific unit to be very reliable in terms of Bluetooth connection. Both are available for significantly lower than retail on Amazon rn for Prime day though, so if you’re interested, check em out in my Amazon Storefront. (First link in bio :) Hope I could help!

[@Smaiky_so]

@@hardwired2 thanks bro

[@hardwired2]

My pleasure :)

[@Smaiky_so]

@@hardwired2 :) do you recommend buing the epomaker shadow x or any other epomaker keyboard like the shadow s,TH80-x etc...

[@hardwired2]

Tbh, Epomaker has such a vast selection of boards, that I haven’t really used many. 😅. They’ve generally got a solid reputation though, so you won’t go wrong no matter what you choose. Personally I really like the TH80-X, but the Shadow-S is also a great option from what I’ve seen. And like I said, you can find many, many of these boards heavily discounted on Amazon right now for Prime day, so I’d check that out first! ☺️

[@questionmark9713]

I love you for uploading in HDR

[@hardwired2]

My pleasure 🤌

[@evgen5647]

What are the profiles on those two?

[@hardwired2]

The Shadow-X is a 70% Layout and the TH80-X is 75% :)

[@faeriehacker]

do you know how to switch to mac mode on shadow-x while being connected to bluetooth?

[@hardwired2]

@@faeriehacker From what I’m seeing, both the Bluetooth and Mac settings are all controlled through the knob, so I’m not seeing a way that that would work. Sorry I couldn’t help :(

[@user-nz8mf2vh6l]

Which one do you like better

[@hardwired2]

Tough choice… l’ll go with the TH80-X though. Volume knob does it for me 😂

[@toxic50009]

Can you use them on console?

[@hardwired2]

@@toxic50009 Yup, but only in wired mode I believe, at least for Xbox

[@gorgonzola1761]

Shadow x or phantom +?

[@hardwired2]

Me personally, I’d go Shadow-X. Looks much, much better imo. And built quality may be a bit better ;) Links are in the description if you’re interested! 😊

[@gorgonzola1761]

@hardwired2 alot of people complaining about page up button! Is it a big deal for gaming??

[@hardwired2]

Are you referring to the page up button like the arrow key up button? Or the print screen button, which takes a screenshot? Because both boards have the Page up button

[@gorgonzola1761]

@@hardwired2 one of them is missing page up because it has the knob on top right

[@hardwired2]

@gorgonzola1761 oh yes, the Shadow-X is missing that key unfortunately. From what I’ve seen though, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal for gaming :)
