The Intel Panther Lake has serious silicon, efficiency, speed, and driver issues two months after its launch, and some OEMs are calling it "Pathetic Lake".
The Epomaker HE80 is a budget-friendly Hall Effect keyboard that delivers features usually reserved for much pricier models. With adjustable MagneX switches, Rapid Trigger support, a gasket-mounted design, and per-key RGB, it performs well above its $70 price tag. While the plastic case, dim legends, and wired-only connection indicate that it's a budget option, the smooth typing feel, light actuation, and remarkable gaming performance make it one of the best entry points into the Hall Effect keyboard space currently available.
