Title: [FI] X-keys Professional (58 Keys) USB

Anyone have any idea about this one? Specs says something about MX tactile silent, probably browns?

50€+8.5 doesn't seem too bad?

X-keys makes a Cherry Black version.  Not sure about that particular one.

Yep, the Pro uses Cherry Browns.

For what it's worth, the USB X-keys do indeed have memory on board, as listed in our spec sheet (http://piengineering.com/techdocs/specifications/spc.pro.usb.pdf). I think what you're interested in is hardware mode (http://piengineering.com/software/hardware.mode.php).

Please let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to contact me directly (amberm@piengineering.com).

Went on and bidded on it, have to see.

I hope it can emulate "real" numpad...

Assuming you're referring to sending the same scan codes as the normal numpad keys (and not just the ones that correspond to the top row numbers), yep we can do that.

Seems like I won it, have to see when it arrives and do I find some real use for it ;D
