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.

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
- Jimmy Carter 2015

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?
