Title: Numpad with Cherry MX
Post by: Acanthophis on Mon, 04 June 2012, 14:58:31

I am looking for a numpad (17+ keys) with Cherry MX switches. Preferably something tactile, but MX blacks would work also.

I know Filco, Adesso, Goldtouch and, of course, Cherry.
What different numpads are there else? Also, which is the cheapest?
Any help would be appreciated.

The problem here is that you live in Germany. I believe the Adesso is the cheapest one at around $30, but shipping can make it a lot more expensive.
The cheapest I could find would add $20 in shipping. link (https://www.eio.com/p-39979-adesso-akp-220b-black-22-normal-keys-usb-or-ps2-wired-mechanical-numeric-keypad.aspx)
There was a Deck 21 key, but those were last sold in 2007.

Yeah, shipping really kills every price. Might have to look for a used one which is already in Europe...
Thanks anyway!
