Number pad
« on: Sun, 28 November 2010, 17:20:02 »
Hello, I am looking for a stand alone number pad.  As in not attached to a full keyboard aka:
http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=filco_keyboards,majestouch_10key&pid=fkb22mb

I searched a bit and this number pad didn't get the glowing reviews that the full keyboard has gotten.  Other than that I didn't find almost anything on here about standalone number pads.  Wireless would be a plus but is not necessary.  I'm just wondering if the FILCO is really worth it for just a numpad.  I would be using it to be a little more comfortable playing online poker so I can lean back in my chair and have it on my knee.

This one gets good reviews on amazon but the keys look very shallow:

Any advice?

Thank you

Also what is the best solution to make a wired USB device wireless.  I searched a bit and didn't find anything hassle free and cheap, just some $100 wireless router hub things.

you should buy the fastbet 1000 ... coming out in 2011



anyways...that filco has brown switches, there is a scorpius black one that uses ps2 that utilizes blue switches, which you may prefer.

Here's a nice thread:

The Goldtouch with Cherry blues looks pretty sweet:
