Building a number pad
« on: Wed, 23 March 2016, 20:59:03 »
Hey,
so I just built my first 60% and I'm wondering where my second set of numbers went.
I would love to have a separate number pad as I could use it for all my macros and I really miss my dedicated delete key and arrow keys.
Is it feasible to make one of these?
I feel like I haven't seen any custom number pads aside from hand-wired ones (which I'm not willing to attempt).

So pretty much I'm asking anyone who's made (or hasn't) where they sourced their parts from, or if there is no way, then what would people recommend as a pre-built one?

Thanks  ;D

Mhm, winkeyless.kr, and gonskeyboardworks.com seem to be the most popular. I've seen a few numeric keypad PCBs offered by Massdrop as well.

I picked up one of the varmilo switch testers that comes built with a pcb and acts as a numpad... at least numbers plus delete and period. So that could work.

Sorry about the late reply but the bpad looks like quite a nice option.
Where should I go about getting a case and plate for it though, does winkeyless sell these?
