What happened
Epomaker has officially released the HE60 V2, a 60% wireless gaming keyboard positioned in the affordable gaming keyboard market and arriving shortly after the HE65 V2 launch.S1
The HE60 uses the same 60% layout as the Wooting 60HE, with a tray-mount ABS case and a carry strap on the left edge that mirrors the Wooting's design language.S1 To control noise from the tray-mount structure, the case is filled with five layers of damping materials: PCB foam, a switch pad, a sound-enhancing pad, latex case foam around the switch sockets, and a silicone bottom pad.S1 The board uses an aluminium plate with plate-mounted stabilizers.S1
Connectivity covers Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, paired with an 8,000 mAh battery, though Epomaker makes no claims about runtime figures.S1 An 8 kHz polling mode is available over the 2.4 GHz link and the USB Type-C wired connection, with a mode switch located under the Caps Lock key.S1
As a Hall-effect keyboard, the HE60 supports adjustable actuation across 0.1–3.3 mm of travel, plus SOCD and DKS features configurable through the browser-based Epomaker Hub driver.S1 Stock switches are Epomaker Creamy Jade Magnetic linear types: closed-bottom switches with 30–55 gf actuation force, a POM stem, PC upper case, PA66 bottom housing, and a 20 mm spring.S1

Background timeline
XAIPART take
Technical impact
XAIPART analysis: an 8 kHz polling path over both 2.4 GHz and USB Type-C puts the HE60 on a par with the Wooting 60HE on report-rate, while the 0.1–3.3 mm adjustable actuation range keeps SOCD and DKS workflows usable for rapid-trigger play. Engineers evaluating peripherals for latency-critical test rigs should treat the 2.4 GHz link as the headline path; the mode switch under Caps Lock is a serviceable toggle but is a hardware rather than firmware switch, which limits mid-session reconfiguration.
XAIPART analysis: the 8,000 mAh cell is unusually large for a 60% form factor and suggests that runtime will likely be the differentiator versus Wooting's 60HE once independent measurements appear, even though Epomaker declines to publish a number.
Market impact
XAIPART analysis: positioning the HE60 as a Wooting 60HE-shaped alternative is a direct competitive play in the affordable Hall-effect segment, where Epomaker now has overlapping 60% and 65% SKUs. Procurement teams tracking gaming peripheral BOMs should expect the supply of magnetic switch sockets, Hall-sensor PCBs, and 2.4 GHz SoCs to remain constrained across multiple competing brands through 2026.
XAIPART analysis: lead times on Hall-effect PCBs and 8 kHz-capable wireless controllers are the most likely chokepoint if Epomaker ramps volume; the source does not disclose distributor stock or allocation.
Action
XAIPART analysis: capture the 0.1–3.3 mm actuation window and the 30–55 gf stock switch force into your peripheral evaluation matrix so design-in comparisons against the Wooting 60HE stay apples-to-apples. Request a battery-life figure from Epomaker sales before specifying the HE60 for fleet or lab deployments, since none is published.
XAIPART analysis: confirm 2.4 GHz coexistence plans if the keyboard will be deployed near Wi-Fi 6E or other 6 GHz equipment; the source does not state coexistence margins.
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART expects Epomaker to publish an official HE60 V2 battery-life figure of at least 200 hours of use over the 2.4 GHz link with 8 kHz polling disabled within 6 months (by 2027-04-09); if the published HE60 rating remains absent or falls below 100 hours under those conditions, this forecast is wrong.
