That's actually a really nice numpad, with the grey keys.  And Qtan is an awesome dude.

If you buy from his store, you get better pricing:

I believe Australia has no import fees for items under $1000

I was looking at this one earlier, I do like the grey cap (or "gravy colour" LOL) and leopold is an amazing brand, but maybe a bit expensive true. I don't know, anyway thank you guys for the reply's, I appreciate the help :3

You could always buy a cheap number pad and then swap the switches. Won't be hard to do and fairly cheap since you only need a small number of switches.

True, though I don't want to wait on two separate orders and then have to diy when it's only 30-50.

Be careful if you decide to go for a Leopold keypad. There is at least 2 revisions of it and one of them firmware does not send the numpad number scancodes which may be highly annoying depending on what you want it for. You might also consider the Keycool model, it is very similar.

Thanks for the insight, I'll have a look at the keycool too. btw how is the build quality, would it survive a half meter fall  :p
