Mechanical Number Pad,Hot Swappable Numpad Wired USB 17 Keys Keypad White Backlit Numeric Keypad with PBT Keycaps for Laptop PC Compact Keyboards (Retro Beige, Brown Switch)

I love this little numpad!- The Brown Switches are very satisfying to press, plus solid sound dampening in place to make a very pleasant sound per key click!- There is a nice weight to the whole pad that makes it feel sturdy and well made- definitely not a cheap feeling device.- The cute little flip stand to adjust the height is a great addition to help match the angle of whatever keyboard you are using it with- The USB C plug-n-play compatibility for PC was as simple as easy as it gets!- I enjoy the white LED background and the ability to adjust the brightness and light-up pattern styles too (I don't use the distracting ones, but always lit and the "ripple on key press" styles were very nice!- As is, the color scheme is nice! (I bought a custom keycap set to match my keyboard, and the caps are very simple to replace)All in all - great, simple, tactile keypad for those of us with keyboards that don't have the numpad built in!If i had one suggestion for future iterations, I guess it would be that having another row of keys up top (with backspace, calculator, etc buttons) would be a great addition - but that would involve form factor change and everything.

Bottom line up front: This is a great, solid number pad that's inexpensive and has the standard 17-key layout. I'm very happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.I have a 10-keyless mechanical keyboard for my main keyboard. Recently I needed a numpad for some occasional data entry and began to search for one. It's frustrating and disappointing how difficult it is to find a good number pad with mechanical switches that has the standard 17-key layout. I really wanted to get the 17-key one since that's what I'm used to. Too many manufacturers shrink keys such as + and zero, and some even move keys like replacing minus with backspace. Why? Argh!Fortunately, I found this numpad and decided to take a chance on it. No regrets. This numpad meets all my expectations and was just what I wanted, albeit with a few minor annoyances that are easy enough to live with.Pros:The connector is USB-C so you can use a modern connector. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable so you can hook it up to older computers too.It has a nice weight to it and feels solidly built. The feet do a good job holding on to the desk. It doesn't move around when used.I got the version with the blues and it feels and sounds great. Every key press is solid and nothing feels wobbly.This is personal, but I like the color scheme. Too many numpads are all black, and this one is different and pleasing to the eye.Some minor cons:It lights up and has "effects". Why someone would want this, I have no idea. I find it annoying. However, it's easy to turn off the backlighting, and the numpad will remember the setting even if unplugged.The num lock light is a bright bluish-white which is distracting. It's nothing that a small piece of tape can't fix, but I wish the manufacturer had used something unobtrusive like a standard green LED.The homing bar on the 5 key is a little small. I wish it were slightly more prominent, but this is also not that big of a deal for me.

Seeing as this product was built with PC's in mind, I can't knock off points because this numeric keypad drains my tablet batter quickly. And there is also the fact that it has LED lights built in to boot. That said, I really didn't expect it to drain my battery as quickly as it did.I bought it to use as a NES and SNES controller, to play RPG's one handed at my desk at work, though with this plugged in, I am lucky to get four hours of battery life from my tablet which generally lasts much longer.If this company offered this same project with Bluetooth options, I would be in 7th heaven, especially considering that there doesn't seem to be any quality BlueTooth numeric keypads on the market for some reason.Complaints in regards to my particular and probably unique situation aside, this is a quality built keypad that feels really good in my large hand! I look the old 80's appearance of it too!

i don't know why i got the brown one, well, i didn't notice that the PCB was soldered on... i even ordered some oil king switches to match my board, but oh well... it's still nice... the LED isn't that nice, but at least you can turn it off... i lubed the switches because browns are scratchy and loud... yeah, i couldn't take apart the switches, but just brush the sides of the switch, and it is somewhat enough... wish i could take them off and doing it right though...the keycaps are nice, but very thin... but the legends look great... color is cool too... i took it apart and used 3 layers of scotch tape for a tape mod... sounds great to be honest... it just needed some tape and lube... the stabs were already heavily lubed and didn't cling or anything... i'm going to paint it to match my anodized board, but it's okay, i just need it for blender shortcuts... happy it doesn't have the top row like the other numpads on amazon... my keyboard doesn't have an F-row, and the other ones look way out of place... bottom line, it is worth the cash... has a white ugly USB c cable, but whatever, it works...should've got reds... :(

I almost sent this back when I first got it. Well actually I could had sworn I ordered Red Switches but instead I got the Blue ones. I went back and I almost thought even with the right switches it would be unusable. After searching for a replacement I went back to this one and read some reviews. A reviewer mentioned he replaced the keycaps which was my downfall with it as well. Let me explain.This comes with key caps that are painted on and a very bright backlight. The backlighting is completely useless, imo, if the caps are painted. Just as I was giving up I came across a reviewer that had replaced the keycaps and vola, it worked.So I found some 6$ key caps bought them and bam! Smooth feeling flat keycaps that allowed the light to shine through. Returned the Blue Switched one for the Red and it was perfect. As you can see from the pic it is only backlit with a white light. If you look closely you will see t he light shining through the keys with the new caps on it. For the price point it is obsoletely worth the money to get it plus the 6$ or so for better key caps. They keys caps were easy to replace. I had never replaced keys before and had little trouble with this. I will worn be careful with the bigger keys as I almost broke the enter key. Lucky for my my husband is a patient man and worked with me to fix the switch that I near pulled out. Go slow and easy wit the Enter and Plus key and you will be fine. To adjust the light hold the minus key down and push plus or enter for the brightness.I should add the feel of it is wonderful. I used it one evening for gaming to see how it worked. I use my number pad as my action buttons in my game and it worked wonderfully. I didn't even notice I was using something other than a normal keypad. If you have a compact, or tkl kb and need a number pad addon get this one. You will not regret it.The Red switches btw are silent, and the blue are beyond clicky. If you like the keys super quiet you might wanna get some o-rings for the key caps. I did add those as well because I like silent keys. They helped add a little bump to the linear (red) switches while stopping the caps for bottoming out which cause a click.
