It is interesting to see how traditions are started and kept along the years. This past weekend was our annual church Summer Conference held in Olds, Alberta. Both my colleague Jonathan Kwan and I have written many review introductions in the past about this, such as the Antec Performance 1 FT. Once again, we drove out to the small town a bit early so we could go into town and see local attractions like Canadian Tire and Walmart. Just like ten years back when Jonathan bought motor oil discussed in the Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB introduction, we did the same thing again. We also walked around Walmart and bought a few snacks. Other traditions include late night McDonald's runs, instant noodles, and playing card games like Dutch Blitz. On the other hand, there were a couple of firsts this year. For one, there were less talks and more time to get to know others, whether this was part of evening sessions or during free time. I enjoyed these elements, and I hope we see this trend continue going forward. We also got more rain during the weekend, although this was less in our control, haha. Overall, it was another relaxing and enjoyable conference. In an analogous way, Epomaker has also followed along with the current traditions or trends in the keyboard market. We have recently seen more Epomaker magnetic keyboards, whether they are using Hall effect or inductive switches. Today, we have a wireless Hall effect switch keyboard in the form of the Epomaker HE75 Mag. How will this keyboard compare to our previous Epomaker keyboards? Will we find new positives that may kick off new traditions? Let us read on to find out!
Today's review unit of the Epomaker HE75 Mag arrived from Epomaker's headquarters in Shenzhen, China. Traveling with Yanwen, a Chinese shipping and logistics company, this white wrapped bundle arrived in decent condition. Due to the nature of the container, any impact damage will only show up on the boxes inside. Thankfully, there were no tears or holes to speak of. This arrived at our APH Networks location here in Calgary, Alberta, in one piece. Along with the HE75 Mag, we also received the Epomaker P65, which will be reviewed in the coming weeks.
Out of the shipping package, the Epomaker HE75 Mag has an average looking container. The box follows a primarily black color scheme with some patterned backing around the box. There are small blue accents, including the Epomaker logo, "75" in the HE75 Mag name, and the outline of the keyboard on the right side. Underneath the product name, there is a product description of "75% Triple-mode Gasket-mounted Hall Effect Keyboard with Replaceable Knob". We will explore all aspects of this sentence in our review. Around the back, there are a few specifications and what not regarding the keyboard, but the rest of the box is minimally decorated.

Out of the box, the Epomaker HE75 Mag is in a translucent white bag and a clear Epomaker shell protects the top. This prevents any crush damage from affecting the keyboard within. A white manual is included out of the box to help you get started with the keyboard. Finally, there are additional accessories included like a USB Type-C to Type-A cable, two additional black PBT keycaps, and two additional Hall effect switches. We also have a combined keycap and switch puller.
