Those LEDs are really cool, I never thought of that before. How are you powering them?

I always liked how the Matias switches looked lit up.

I think I still have a black outboard numpad with white Alps switches, but I never used it because it has a peculiar plug that looks like a headphone jack, but smaller. Like the size of the old micro-cassette dictation recorders with the smaller (maybe it was 3/32" instead of 1/8"?) plug.

I would sell it cheap if somebody knew how to hook it up via USB.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Wow, really cool numpad!!! I'm doing a lot of calculations with my TC1100 and it lacks numpad, that thing would be helpful and classy  :)

Beautiful!
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?
