Very smooth sounds with no feedback, if you’re okay with that. I am impartial to GAETRON brown switches as they are silent with feedback, but on a number pad, it doesn’t bother me, mostly because this keypad sounds like butter. My husband isn’t really into keyboards like I am, and even he was impressed with how this thing sounds and feels. I’m pretty frugal, and even I believe the build quality is worth the money.

I know that the price on this unit seems a bit high compared to all the other cheaper options on Amazon but trust me, the cost is justified. This thing is built to last. It's case is sold metal and weighs a ton so it wont be getting bumped all over your desk, the included switched are nice and thocky but can easily be switched out if you prefer different characteristics, the backlights are bright if you choose to use them, but best of all, it can be used wirelessly so I can place it wherever I want when I dont need it. I usually have at least a little buyers remorse when it comes to internet purchases. There are almost always things I dont particularly care for or are outright disappointed in. But thats not the case with this thing. Its as perfect a product as one could ask for. It does everything you expect and then throws exception build quality and heap of additional features on top to justify the price.

Bought this and the V87 separately. Both are amazing quality builds for the price. The Keycaps are fantastic, and the matte switches are actually pretty great too.Removed a star, because trying to modify key layouts on these has been very difficult in comparison to the Keychron Q series boards I have used- which are detected automatically by the VIA app and have been simple to adjust. Both the CIDOO V87 and this V21 are not recognized by the VIA app, and the sketchy downloadable files from the Epomaker site have not really worked reliably for me...If you want the default functions and light effects, and want to use it as a numpad alone, it's fantastic- but as a macropad, I'd avoid it.

It's built like a tank, seems to be metallic all around, works like a charm, it's weighted, feels so good quality. the keys sound nice. It's expensive but it's easily the best numpad out there. My only quirk is that the cable is shiny white and not closer to the color of the keyboard, or even black. but anyway I love this number pad.

It feels and sounds amazing. I want to type on it just for fun because it feels and sounds so good.Sound – it sounds amazing. It is not super quiet, but for me, this is what a keyboard should sound like. It is very pleasant to listen toCustomizable –programmable and I can move around the keycaps and hot swap the switchesCons:Size – this thing is a brick. No joke, it probably weighs as much as a brick. It is too big too big and heavy to consider traveling withWhen I first picked up the box, I couldn’t believe how heavy it was. I immediately thought I wasn’t going to keep it because of the weight, but after unboxing and trying it a little bit I couldn’t stop thinking about how nice it is to type on. Trying the other keypads just couldn’t compare to the feel and sound. This is the one I ultimately decided to keep. It was the most expensive but personally I think it is worth it. I will not be traveling with it, but I am going to try and limit my work when traveling anyway.Context:I recently started a remote job that I need a number keypad, and my work laptop doesn’t have one. I couldn’t decide which one to get so I grabbed several different options to try. Things in order of importance to me: Bluetooth (not a 2.4 Ghz adapter because I want to keep the USB ports open), portable (I might have to travel with it), sound (not too loud in case I am working in a public space), typing quality (preferably mechanical switches), and customizable (hot swappable keycaps and switches and maybe programmable). I didn’t extensively use each: I assume all of them work so I tested most of them without connecting them.
