[ The Inspiration ]

This was born from being disappointed in the lack of premium numpad options available at the time of initial design as well as age old instigating questions like "what if we slapped an o-ring into it?" and "what if we slapped bluetooth into it".

More ramblings of context:
I was also influenced by one of my favorite kustoms the GHv2 by LZ.

The engraving and name was born from some cheeky wordplay of songs by one of my favorite artists Machinedrum. I binged his music throughout this design process and felt inclined to immortalize it within the design. His use of numbers in his song names also integrated well into the theme of the numpad.

NUM1: a play on 'Come1' off the album “Room(s)”
Only 1 Way 2 Numpad: a play on 'Only 1 Way 2 Know' off the album “Vapor City Archives”

I was made aware only somewhat recently that a fellow member of this community HineyBush designed the TKL ONE and the NUM ONE (I knew the TKL ONE but didnt know it had a numpad!). Given the name is nearly identical, I reached out to Hiney for permission to continue use of the NUM1 name for this project, He approved! Thanks Mr. Hiney!

Sick numpad! Is there any chance for any kind of SS or polished weight?

Thank you so much!

Unfortunately sandblasted brass only for this run. But there is a possibility that I may do a weight mini run in the future if there is interest! I was quite a fan of the Mirror SS weight myself

super hyped for this!

reposting from my discord:

With a heavy heart I have to let everyone know that we didnt get enough orders to meet the MOQ. i had planned for some percentage of unpaid winners but i didnt expect more than the reroll pool. even my unit and the few FNF units couldn't close the gap.

For those that did purchase, you will be getting a refund over the next few days, and from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for your dedication and support.

I'm not sure what to do now to be honest but the future is usually foggy until its right in front of you.

thank you all.

Way too expensive for a numpad otherwise more people would gain one. Looks nice man but the price is killing.
Good luck in the future.
