EPOMAKER TH33
| Mechanical Numpad Keyboard | 30% | Hot-Swappable | Wireless/Wired | Gasket-mounted | South-facing |
EPOMAKER TH33, a special numpad from Epomaker that has more to offer than a classic numpad.
Epomaker has just a few of numpads in their catalog, yet it has taken the risk of creating a different style of numpad with the TH33.

ACCESSORIES & PACKAGING
4.5/5

2x switches
1x 2U keycap
USB-C cable
Keycap/switch puller

DESIGN
4.75/5
The Epomaker T33 has an unique 30% layout with 33 keys and a knob; including not only a fully functional numpad but also all the TKL keys without any missing key.
On top of that, the numpad holds 2 adjustable kickstands with dual positioning, to match a better ergonomic angle preference for each user.
The TH33 comes only in black color but is overall designed with a clean aesthetical feel combining a full black case with cream and grey keycaps.
Sitting above the arrow keys, there is a wide RGB strip light that can be controlled independently to the full RGB LEDs of the board or even keep it on while the turning off all the RGB lights of the keys.

CONSTRUCTION & BUILD
4.5/5
Quality-wise, the TH33 has the exact degree of construction and uses the same ABS material as their mid-tier and upper-tier keyboards. This makes it lightweighted but still not flimsy.
Unexpectedly, though, is the fact that the numpad also inherits the inner components of mid/top-class keyboards; such as a gasket mounted design, PC plate, plate-mount stabilizers, 5-layer sound dampening system, etc.
The numpad even is QMK/VIA compatible and has a hot-swappable board compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches – so you do not need to desolder and resolder switches to replace them.

KEYCAPS
4.5/5
The set included with the Epomaker TH33 has Cherry profile and are made of PBT (dye-sub); ensuring fade-free, oil-resistant durability.
The keycaps have a barely minimally textured finish and excellent dark fonts over light-cream keys contrast for the numbers and arrow keys – the rests of the keys have a black over dark grey color combination that makes them a bit less contrasty.
On the upper right corner, the knob spins responding with tactility (silent) and can be rotated by grabbing it – trying to rotate the knob with a sliding finger does not tend to be easy.

SWITCHES
4/5
The Epomaker TH33 comes pre-assembled with Epomaker Wisteria Linear V2 switches – a switches model that we have reviewed endless times as it is the most popular switch from the brand.
The Wisteria are popular for very good reason: versatility and performance; with a typing feel that can match nearly any user and can fulfill even the most demanding enthusiasts needs.
Fair to note that there are no other switches types nor models to choose from.

CONNECTIVITY
4.75/5
To add up to the versatility of this numpad, the TH33 can be used either wired or wirelessly and with up to 5 different devices thanks to a Bluetooth connection with 3 banks, 2.4G wireless (with the dongle) and a detachable USB-C wired connection.
To choose the connection mode, you can access the switches on the rear edge of the case. In this section you can also find the 2.4G dongle in a dedicated storage slot.
Insanely for numpad, the Epomaker TH33 has a polling rate of 1000Hz and delay of just 3ms; tech specs that gaming keyboards usually have, yet you can get them with this numpad too.
S
SOUND
5/5
Somehow, the brand has been able to empower even further the sound profile of the previous EK21 numpad on this bigger sibling.
The personality is inline with the EK21 with a clean and refined sound profile but with an even thockier and deeper toned pitch that can challenge top-class thocky keyboards.
Moreover, the stabilizers never showed rattling and proved to come impeccably pre-lubed from factory.
B
BATTERY
4.5/5
The brand has decided to double up the battery capacity of what was found on previous numpads, giving the TH33 an internal rechargeable battery with 2000mAh.
