Title: Plate Mounted Numpad
Post by: NimbleRabit on Thu, 14 April 2011, 11:42:09

I'm looking to buy a mechanical numpad that is plate mounted.  I don't really know what kinds are out there, but anything plate mounted and with a cherry switch (preferably blues, but any cherry switch is fine).

If anyone has one to sell shoot me a PM and let me know what price you are looking for, thanks.

The Kinesis and the Goldtouch numpads have plate mounted Cherry browns.

There's a Hong Kong eBay vendor that sells a no-logo version of this numpad for $14 USD. EDIT doesn't seem to have a listing today.

Here's a link to the thread (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=6798) discussing the eBay numpad I was mentioning. Unfortunately, it was a pcb mount Cherry black, not plate mounted.

The Kinesis and Goldtouch are similar but not identical.

• The Kinesis comes in black or grey, and the Goldtouch comes in black or white.
• The Kinesis has rollover diodes
• The special key functions differ, with the Goldtouch offering an additional layer of functionality.

Pardon the board chow--these have been in a basket in a high-traffic area for a half year, and I took the pic too fast to notice.
