Title: Numpad options? (Cherry switch if possible)
Post by: 1swt2gs on Sat, 07 November 2015, 19:42:23: I have been looking for a Numpad with Cherry switches without no avail.

I would build my own preferably using Zeal switches or a different switch, but seeing as to how I don't know how to solder I don't want to mess anything up.

That said, anyone know options regarding Cherry Mx switched numpads?

Leopold/Filco
b.pad
356pad (if you can find one)
ADESSO AKP-220B
Realforce 23ub (just get this and convert to cup rubber goodness)

many more I am missing

Goldtouch I believe is the most common numpad also.

because some versions send out the proper numpad-codes, while others send out 'normal number' codes.

I stumbled into a Goldtouch numpad at the recycling centre a while ago, it was a nice piece of kit :) .

Post by: Macsmasher on Sat, 07 November 2015, 21:18:54: I got this Adesso a few years ago and sent it back:

It has a funky key layout. In fact, my review is still the top review hahaha. November 5th, 2012. Point is, not all numpads have the same layout so be sure to check out the pictures.

I ended up buying a RF 23U and have no regrets. And it does send the correct key codes.
