Is this programmable?
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

I had a read in another thread and I don't think it is unfortunately.

Should I get this or a G80-3700 or a Topre numpad?  :-\

Did some research myself and all signs point to cherry MX black.

Do these send proper numpad codes? And are they PCB or plate mounted?

Can't answer the 1st but they most likely are plate mounted considering the similarity of genovation's keypads.


Not the exact same one but you can clearly see they reuse a whole lot of stuff in their offerings.

I received mine today. They are indeed cherry MX black switches and all keys work as normal - used Switch Hitter to test. The switches are upside down, I'm not sure how unusual that is, but maybe worth mentioning.

Still, a nice deal for ~$12 shipped.

Ordered two.  Could always use more switch testers to send around

Seller added more stock, I'm probably going to pick up two, one to harvest and use as a switch tester and another for numpad use ;D

Bought one for when I'm rocking a TKL because WTF: at $12 shipped this is like an insanely good deal compared to all the rubber dome crap you can buy new.

Thanks for posting this. Ordered a couple to be sent to my shipping forwarder as they are so cheap.

Not to contribute to anyone's delinquency, but shipping is not multiplied by the number of units. Bought two and the shipping was $7.90. Thanks,    NeoNoeN for the pointer!

I bought one too, even though the black is my least favorite Cherry switch. Maybe I will find 21 greens or clears sometime.

I had a couple of outboard numpads but I sold one and now the Enter is not working on the other (rubber dome).

None of this will be necessary until someday when I give up my aircraft-carrier-sized boards!


edit - Arrived today, very nice, but caps are a bit lame. Pad printing is wearing off the Enter.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
