Title: I need a mechanical numpad
Post by: zeroni13 on Tue, 18 March 2014, 16:31:58
I need a mechanical keypad to go with my future TKL keyboard. I want to have Cherry MX black's on them (or any MX, I'll just swap them out). Bonus points for style/looks, but build quality is more important.

This is the layout I need:

Keycool's 22 key numpad has had some good things said about it. I like that this is a new thread so I can jump straight in about KC's good build quality. It might have a few more keys than you are after, but it looks pretty good.

I am trying to look around to see where you can get one in stock, blacks look out of stock, but you might have some luck going onto mechanicalkeyboards.com's vendor forum on here and asking when they will get them back in stock again.

Yeah I was looking at that one, but could not find it anywhere, and if the keypad supports top removal of the MX's I can swap them right away, I have 25 extra MX black laying around.

That is a nice looking numpad.

I'd guess M8s.

Pretty sure it has MX black, and looks like SP DSA caps. But might be MX clear? You could ask the seller to pull a cap if you want confirmation.

Why would you guess M8? That seems really unlikely to me. (But who knows.)

Because cherry had low profile keys with M8's.

There is a G80-0??? that also uses DSA style caps and it uses M8s iirc. As Ray said, the M8s were for low profile usage.
