From Keyboards to Headsets: Epomaker’s Diversified Lineup Impresses at Gamescom 2026

Epomaker is showcasing more than just keyboards at Gamescom and IFA

Cologne, Germany – While the digital storefront has become the primary battleground for consumer tech, there remains an irreplaceable value in getting hands-on with hardware before hitting the "buy" button. For mechanical keyboard enthusiasts and gamers, trade shows like Gamescom offer that rare, tactile opportunity to test switches, assess build quality, and separate marketing hype from reality. This year, Epomaker has staked out a significant presence to let attendees do exactly that.

If you are a regular reader of our coverage, you are likely familiar with Epomaker from our extensive reviews and breaking news surrounding the peripheral market. The manufacturer has consistently pushed the envelope regarding switch technology and feature sets at competitive price points. At Gamescom 2026, the brand is not just resting on its laurels; they are demonstrating a clear strategy to diversify beyond the clacking keys that made them famous.

Attendees looking to get a feel for the latest in magnetic switch technology can visit the Epomaker booth in Hall 10.1, Booth A-023 through Sunday. For those who prefer the consumer electronics atmosphere of Berlin, the company will also be exhibiting at IFA 2026 from September 4 to 8 in Hall 6.2a, Booth 106.

A Decade of Physics-Based Chaos, Now on a Keyboard

Epomaker’s showcase offers a comprehensive overview of its product portfolio, spanning innovative keyboards, audio gear, and precision mice. The standout piece on the show floor is undoubtedly the Epomaker × Human Fall Flat HE108 keyboard. This collaboration celebrates the tenth anniversary of the beloved physics-based puzzle platformer.

Unlike many "gaming" collaborations that often devolve into garish branding exercises, the HE108 takes a more nuanced approach. While it features distinct Human Fall Flat branding, the design team has wisely ensured the keyboard remains a highly functional piece of hardware. The keycaps nod to the game’s aesthetic without overwhelming the user with illegible novelty fonts or awkward shapes. Under the hood, it features magnetic switches that allow for analog input sensing, a feature rapidly becoming the gold standard for gamers seeking granular control in movement and racing titles. The selection of unusual keycaps is noteworthy; it is a bold look, though whether it suits your desk setup is very much a matter of personal taste.

The Human Fall Flat edition is joined by the brand's latest hall-effect offerings. Also on display are the recently released HE75 V2 TMR and HE65 V2 TMR keyboards. These boards represent the cutting edge of Epomaker’s magnetic switch integration, offering rapid trigger functionality and adjustable actuation points that cater to the high-refresh-rate demands of modern esports.

Beyond the Board: Audio and Mouse Expansion

While Epomaker is clearly, and primarily, a keyboard manufacturer, the brand is showing considerable ambition in adjacent peripheral categories. We previously reported on the Epomaker GX1, a headset that attempts to disrupt the budget audio market. Currently priced at just under $50, the GX1 brings features usually reserved for more expensive cans. It boasts 50-millimeter drivers and an open-back design, which is a rarity at this price bracket, promising a wider soundstage for immersive gaming. Connectivity is versatile, supporting 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB Type-C, and a traditional 3.5-millimeter jack.

While the noisy trade show floor made extensive listening tests unfeasible, the build quality of the GX1 made a surprisingly good impression upon physical inspection. Yes, there is a relatively large amount of plastic in the construction—expected at this cost—but the design feels robust and the inclusion of an on-headset volume control is a highly practical touch. For gamers looking for an affordable entry into open-back audio, the GX1 is shaping up to be a compelling option. You can check the current pricing and availability on Amazon here .

Similarly, the Epomaker NEX Pro is making waves. While not a true trade show debut, having launched only recently, it is a clear signal that Epomaker wants a slice of the competitive mouse market. Priced at $80, the NEX Pro aims to offer high precision without taking unnecessary risks with ergonomics. It features a safe, asymmetrical shape suited for right-handed users, two thumb buttons on the left side, and a top-tier PixArt PAW3950 sensor with a resolution of up to 42,000 DPI.

For the spec-obsessed, the NEX Pro boasts a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz in both 2.4 GHz and USB modes, ensuring latency is essentially a non-factor. The package is rounded out by an included charging dock with RGB lighting, adding a touch of flair to the desktop.

A Cohesive Ecosystem

What is most striking about Epomaker’s 2026 trade show presence is the shift from a "keyboard company" to a "gaming gear ecosystem." The transition from producing acclaimed keyboards like the HE75 V2 TMR to releasing a credible, budget-friendly headset and a high-performance wireless mouse suggests a maturing brand.

For consumers, this diversification is good news. It introduces competition into price segments that have been stagnant, forcing established players to innovate. If the build quality and feature sets observed at the booth are any indication, Epomaker is positioning itself as a one-stop shop for gamers looking to outfit their entire desk without breaking the bank or sacrificing performance. We look forward to getting these units into the studio for full, in-depth reviews following the show.
