Those LEDs are really cool, I never thought of that before. How are you powering them?

I always liked how the Matias switches looked lit up.

I think I still have a black outboard numpad with white Alps switches, but I never used it because it has a peculiar plug that looks like a headphone jack, but smaller. Like the size of the old micro-cassette dictation recorders with the smaller (maybe it was 3/32" instead of 1/8"?) plug.

I would sell it cheap if somebody knew how to hook it up via USB.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Wow, really cool numpad!!! I'm doing a lot of calculations with my TC1100 and it lacks numpad, that thing would be helpful and classy  :)

Beautiful!
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?
