DSI Cherry Brown numpads. I don't particularly like the layout for a pure numpad, and the ultrashort cable would need to be extended in most setups. However, being a DSI it might have NKRO, and this Brown version is the cheapest NIB mechanical numpad I could find at the moment.

Does this have something to do with DSI's NKRO over USB implementation issues? Because otherwise I see no reason why this would be true. Maybe they changed controllers during a second revision, because these keypads are listed everywhere else as compatible with PCs.

from what i hear these will only run if connected to their modular keyboard unit, has anyone actually tested these seperately from the MAC modular keyboard?

Deal killer indeed... in need for a mech keypad at a good price...

I didn't think I needed one until today. I might get one for my Mac.

Just bought one of this. Don't know if it will work with Mac but should work with Windows. Still need to get a serial to USB adapter for it.
