17/18 key numpads
« on: Thu, 16 June 2016, 21:22:37 »
Just wondering but do these actually just not exist in mechanical form? NPKC 17 Switch Tester is the closest one but it's technically marketed as a switch tester and supposedly only has 1KRO. Basically looking for a numpad that a typical numpad kit (from any keyset groupbuy) would fill exactly, without the top row that almost every mechanical numpad comes with.

not quite what I'm looking for haha. I'm kind of surprised no one seems to care about this, considering almost all (maybe all?) numpad kits are only 17/18 key anyway.

You don't want the top row, so you want a 13-key numpad?

ebay uk is full of them for about £40 or you could buy 20 x £2 cheapo numpads. your choice. pay to be in the club, or not.

to get full use of a mech numpad, you'd have to press each key a total of 50,000,000 times, or 13698 times each day for 10 years, or 273 times over 50 years. i just don't think anyone would press each numpad key that much

WTF are you talking about?

I did find a 17 key with Browns OP, if you're into that kinda thing.
