Can anyone recommend me a good numpad?

The Realforces are hard to find and too expensive as I just got the HHKB Pro 2

I have a Filco numpad with browns that I got used on eBay for about $35. Elitekeyboards sells Leopold numpads for $45 plus shipping. Be aware though that many people have reported that the keys on it send the same scan codes as the number row of a keyboard. This shouldn't really be a problem though unless you were planning on binding macros to the keys.

I'd like a white one to match my HHKB Pro 2 if possible. I'll just be using it for entering phone numbers and credit card info.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
