So I've been talking with a seller in the classified section. I'm going to pull the trigger on his GON NS Kitty PAD. I've been wanting a quality numpad for a while, and well, I'm a fool for spending too much money on keyboard stuff, but this is kind of the final piece in my collection (for now). I'd like to hear from any GON owners what the pros/cons of this unit is, if there are any cons that is.
Thanks guys.

I'm going to make one eventually from GON. They look amazing.

The only cons i had with mine, before i sold it, was that it was pink. and even the pink was tolerable until i had a need to rapidly liquidate some cash.

I had the kitty pad and it didn't work well in Mac OS X so I sold it. I had to use auto hot key, and I don't like installing things like that.
And iirc the "kitty" pcb is non-reprogrammable.
I wouldof kept if it worked better in os x, it was really nice. I got it to go along with my gon ns 38gt. :D
I think GON is working on a new numberpad. (New PCB)
I saw it on otd.kr or kbdmania.net a while ago.
If he is working on a new pcb, the pros would be thats it's reprogrammable with smd leds spots on the bottom of the pcb to achieve richer glow in the middle clear/polycarb layer of the case.

Thank you for the feedback posts!
Hmm how hard would it be to change the LED for the side lighting from red to white? White would match the backlit TKL board I have.
