Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you want a space-efficient, traditional keyboard with a full number pad and a sleek, low-profile build, the Epomaker LUMA100 is the clear pick. If your priority is ergonomic comfort for long typing sessions, deep software customization, and the utility of a programmable knob, the Epomaker Split70 is the better investment, despite its non-standard layout.

The LUMA100 is better suited for gaming and travel, thanks to its included number pad, lighter weight, and single-unit design. For general office use, the choice depends on whether you value a number pad or ergonomic split design more.
