Praise
“Wow, at first I thought it was gonna be useless because I don't use arrows nor numpad, that's why I use only 60% keyboard. When I recieved the TH33 I noticed that I can remap every single button. Now I use it as a budget stream deck, I put on matching keycaps…”
Bruno P.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“It was what I wanted but the usability was not as good as I wanted. Software was very buggy and there are almost no alternative keycap options.”
