Genovation #682 - Alps sliders, 35 key array

Unusual NIB keypad I thought might interest some people.  Especially those with happy hacking keyboards that want their missing keys back :D

comes with relegendable keycaps, that is very useful. Too bad it seems the software needs a floppy drive. Will it keep settings from machine to machine like my razer mice or you need to install at each machine? Cherry have a more numpad shaped keypad though and they come in two mechanical flavours : G84-4700 and the G80-3700 but only the top row is relegendable yet all keys can be programmed as well. I'm thinking of getting one to complement my g84-4100, but its nice there are options outside of cherry.

You can still buy that keypad new, but it no longer has Alps keys (they are Cherry MX now).  And it comes as USB, PS/2 or RS232 serial.
