Title: Separate numpad with Cherry MX switches?
Post by: APC-7 on Wed, 29 April 2015, 17:49:25
Please excuse me if this is a common question or already included in a FAQ somewhere, but I couldn't find anything.

Are there any separate numpads with Cherry MX switches, apart from the Filco one?

Not especially keen on the double-zero to be honest.  ;D

Thanks.

A pretty popular one is the Leopold 210tp. If you want to go old school, Cherry 3700s look pretty nice ^-^

Have a 3700, only numpad I would recommend due to the great look, and the 4 extra keys on the top, mine here:

Just looking at that numpad makes me want to do math.

Leopold 210TP owner here. I got mine with blues. Should have gone with browns or reds instead.

Keycool makes one with Kailh switches.

Goldtouch has one. Adesso has one as well but those are pretty cheap, in a not-so-good-way.

Thank you!  ;)

The G80-3700 surely looks nice but seems to be made of refined unobtanium.

The 210TP seems to be easier to come by, but how do I recognize one that sends actual numpad scancodes?
