Epomaker TH33 vs Varmilo MA21MWireless Customization vs Wired Simplicity

Yes, the Epomaker TH33 supports tri-mode connectivity. You can use it wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 or a 2.4GHz USB receiver, or connect it with the included USB-C cable for a wired connection and charging.

No, the Varmilo MA21M is not hot-swappable. Its switches are soldered to the PCB, meaning you are permanently locked into the pre-installed Varmilo electrocapacitive clicky switches unless you undertake advanced soldering work.

The Epomaker TH33 is programmable using VIA software. This allows you to remap every key, create complex macros, and adjust lighting effects on a per-key basis directly from your computer.

No, the Varmilo MA21M does not have RGB lighting. According to the vendor listing, it features white LED backlighting, which offers a single static color compared to the customizable RGB on the TH33.

According to Epomaker, the box contains the TH33 keyboard, a 2.4GHz receiver stored on the board, a USB A to C cable, a 2-in-1 keycap and switch puller, two extra switches, an extra backspace keycap, and manuals.

The Epomaker TH33 is designed with versatility in mind. Epomaker states its layout places numbers on the left and arrow keys on the right, catering to both left- and right-handed users. The Varmilo MA21M's layout suitability for left-handed use is not specifically mentioned.

The Epomaker TH33 comes pre-installed with Wisteria Linear V2 switches, which are factory-lubed 5-pin linear switches. Its hot-swappable socket also allows you to install most other 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switches.

The Epomaker TH33 has more dedicated productivity features. It includes a programmable knob for quick adjustments, full VIA software for creating workflow shortcuts, and wireless connectivity for a cleaner desk. The Varmilo MA21M offers multimedia keys but lacks deep programmability.

The Epomaker TH33 uses a gasket mount, where the plate is suspended on rubber gaskets to absorb typing vibrations for a softer, more consistent feel. The Varmilo MA21M uses a traditional plate mount, where the plate is fixed directly to the case, typically resulting in a firmer typing experience.
