EPOMAKER EK21 VIA Gasket Number Pad, Bluetooth 5.0/2.4ghz/Wired Hot Swappable Numpad, with Poron Foam, Aluminum Alloy Knob, 1000mAh Battery, Programmable (Black, Gateron Pro Yellow)

For around $15 it's a good deal. The Quality is fair and good for the price. Everything feels alright. The only issue is the software optimization through VIA which is poor. I tried every method I found online and this what made it work for me. The only json profile that worked was the USB V2 Factory version. First, go to settings in VIA app and enable the "Show design app" option. This will unlock the design tab where you will be able to load the json profile for the number pad . Second, in the design tab, you need to enable "Use V3 defenitions (deprecated) option. Then, load the json profile that works with your number pad without errors (like I said earlier mine was USB V2 factory version). This will load the number pad template. Third, this is where it gets annoying, choose configure tab, if it shows it is searching for devices, try the following. Turn "Use V2 Definitions) off and on and see if number pad is showing in configure tab or try disconnect USB and connect again to see if this works. You can also try delete the json profile and load it again while following the previous steps until it works. Once it work, It will show the number pad with the option to configure to your liking. Layer 0 is the default number pad layout. Layer 1 is for Fn key combination. Layer 2 & 3, not familiar what are these for. Since I used the USB V2 factory version the volume knob will be shown as keycaps instead.

Quality is terrible! LEDs are different! Software doesn’t work! It cannot discover the device. Knob is too tight and inaccurate! Don’t waste your money on products of this manufacturer.

Awesome little number pad, little bit of a pain to get it to work in VIA software, but once its there, its easy to configure - also very easy to add multiple layers for when you want to use it as more of a macropad than a numberpad.

When I bought a TKL keyboard I didn't think I'd miss my numpad so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. Pros- *It feels good to type on and it's pretty sturdy even though the housing is plastic. The big rubber feet are very nice and it doesn't move around on my desk pad at all when I'm using it. *The RGB looks good and there's a decent amount of different modes to choose from. *The Gateron yellow switches are nice but I swapped them out for Gateron Jupiter Bananas to match my Lemokey L3 which was easily done. *Battery life is excellent. I think I've only charged it 2 or 3 times in the few months I've had it and I use it quite often. *Macro keys are definitely nice to have if you're doing programming or data entry. *Easy to program. Even if you're new to VIA it's fairly straightforward to program the macro keys and dial. I believe they are pre-programmed if you don't want to do it yourself but I can't remember what the default shortcuts are. *Metal dial has a good feel when twisting. Cons- *If I were to nitpick my only gripe would be that it sometimes doesn't register my first key press when waking up, a minor inconvenience at best. Overall I'd definitely recommend this keypad if you need one that is fairly inexpensive and works well.

This is a great accessory for laptops without a numerical pad - has a retro look Commodore 64. Is a little bulky for transport purposes but ok for me

Cumple bien su función. El material de plástica no se ve malo. Los switches y estabilizadora están bien. Genial para tenerlo en el escritorio y usarlo para alguna tarea numérica

This EpoMaker wireless number pad is a great tool for those that prefer tenkeyless keyboards and those that prefer a "southpaw" numpad option. The included keycaps sound pleasant, the rotating knob is ridged and tactile, and the input lag is quite low. There is quite a lot of flex when pushing downwards, which might bother some people. Since I chose linear switches, I am used to typing with low force and only noticed the flex when intentionally pushing the board downwards. If I could rate the numpad by itself, I would give it 5 stars. However, the software support is where you run into issues... One of the main selling points of this product for me is its VIA support. I have used keyboards that use it for macros and RGB in the past, and normally it is a straightforwards process. Setting up VIA for this EK21 was a royal pain. After downloading the JSON files from EpoMaker's website, VIA would not load the definitions. Even after updating the firmware and trying both VIA's desktop app and the web client, nothing. Finally, after searching online for answers, I stumbled across a reddit thread recommending the use of a "Mongeek" web version of VIA. While it recognizes the EK21 when connected via USB C cable, it still does not work with 2.4 GHz or BT. I have no idea if this is necessary, or if I got one from a bad batch, but at least VIA works. Great numpad if you can put up with finicky VIA support
