Build Quality
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the build quality of the EPOMAKER EK21 VIA Gasket Number Pad. While many are pleased with its solid and sturdy feel, others have noted some flex when pressing the switches. The product's software, VIA, is a point of contention, with some praising its open-source nature while others find it lacking compared to competitors.
Backlight Intensity
Customers generally like the adjustable backlight intensity of the EPOMAKER EK21 Vnum;pad, with some expressing satisfaction with the knob's functionality for RGB customization. However, a few customers have noted that the RGB brightness is underwhelming and the keycaps lack transparency, resulting in only partial glow.
Wireless Functionality
Customers have mixed opinions on the wireless functionality of this mechanical numpad. While some users enjoy the convenience of using it wirelessly with their work computers or as a remote control for beat making, others prefer to use it wired for better performance and productivity. Some users reported initial setup challenges but were able to resolve them through firmware updates and technical support. Overall, customers appreciate the flexibility of being able to switch between wired and wireless modes and find the numpad to be a valuable addition to their workflow.
Programmability
Customers have mixed opinions on the programmability of the EPOMAKER EK21 VIA Gasket Number Pad, with some finding it a great productivity tool and others unable to get it to function as advertised. The process of programming macros involves downloading software, configuring buttons, and uploading drivers, which can be challenging for some users. However, those who have successfully programmed the pad report increased workflow efficiency and ease of use.

Price
Overall, this keyboard is great for the price.
For the price and via compatible part, i will highly recommended.
This is the one if you do not want to spend 70 bucks on a numpad or don't want to add another heavy thing to what you carry.
But at this price i don’t mind doing a little customizing.
Competitiveness
Bought a different model from another vendor before this one and sleep performance was horrific and the num lock worked in strange ways.
You may find some cheaper options from unknown brands on amazon but this is the one to get.
One thing to mention is that the epomaker branding shown in some review photos was not on mine, which i prefer.
