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.”

“Even tho I live in the middle of Europe the shipping only took 11 working days. It feels and sounds great to type on. And the opening experience was also great.”

Critique
“Good quality of build but its actually pretty trash keyboard, 2 years and started to not register keys, double typing ect and its not problem of the switch because i changed them with working ones and still had the problem”
