Why a Full-Size Keyboard Still Matters
In a market where compact keyboards seem to capture most of the attention, it might be easy to overlook the enduring appeal of a full-size layout. Yet for a large number of people—those who spend their days navigating spreadsheets, inputting numerical data, or simply prefer having dedicated function keys within reach—the number pad and full navigation cluster are not obsolete features; they are daily essentials.
The EPOMAKER TH108 Series was developed with this specific user in mind. Rather than chasing the trend of minimalism, the series aims to provide a practical and reliable tool for those who need a complete set of keys. The latest addition, the EPOMAKER TH108 V2 PRO, represents a focused update on three key areas: intuitive control, durable materials, and layered lighting effects.
Core Specifications: What the TH108 Series Shares
The foundation of the TH108 lineup is built around a shared set of core specifications. Across the TH108, TH108 PRO, and TH108 V2 PRO, users will find the same 10,000mAh rechargeable battery capacity. This is a substantial power reserve that supports extended use, potentially reaching up to 200 hours under certain conditions. All three models also utilize web-based software for customization, eliminating the need for extensive driver installations. Switch options are consistent across the series, with the factory-lubed EPOMAKER Creamy Jade linear switch and the Sea Salt Silent V2 switch available for selection.

The transition from the TH108 PRO to the TH108 V2 PRO reflects a considered refinement rather than a radical overhaul. At the heart of the V2 upgrade is a focus on unifying the TH Series design language and enhancing external usability.
Visually, the most apparent shift lies in the lighting architecture: the V2 PRO moves away from the base side lights and dual LOGO illumination found on the PRO model, opting instead for a single left-side LOGO light paired with a textured side décor light bar that creates a more layered and ambient visual effect.
Ergonomically, the rotary knob has been relocated from the left side edge to the front right face of the keyboard, a change intended to make volume adjustments and screen navigation more intuitive and directly accessible.
The color palette has also been recalibrated; whereas the TH108 PRO features high-contrast, contrasting colorways such as Yellow-Pink and Gradient Grey, the V2 PRO introduces options like Carbon Black and Side-Print Pink, which are designed to present a more cohesive and series-oriented aesthetic that complements the new side lighting.

Positioning the TH108 V2 PRO Within the Lineup
The TH108 V2 PRO refines the foundation laid by the TH108 PRO in three key areas: a front-facing knob for more intuitive control, a textured side light bar that streamlines the visual profile, and a unified color palette that reinforces the series identity.

For those seeking the latest expression of the TH108 formula, the V2 PRO offers a considered step forward within the same familiar full-size footprint.
