Verdict

Epomaker HE80

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely capable, budget-friendly way into Hall Effect gaming, even if the software polish trails the premium brands.

NZXT Function2

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A full-size board whose real strength is integration into NZXT's broader CAM ecosystem, appealing most to buyers already invested in that brand.
