Custom Mechanical Number Pad, QMK/VIA Programmable Hot Swappable Numpad 34 Keys Wired USB RGB Backlit Numeric Keypad with PBT Keycaps for Laptop, MacBook,Compact Keyboards (Black, Linear Switch)

This product was fit for purpose and what I wanted. It was also easy to setup and program it to what I would like to do. It would be nice as an add-on to have the ability to ask for custom keys or a reference to a custom key maker.

This numpad has a great feel and I love the sound of the keyswitches it comes with -- they've got a good "thock" to them. It does seem strange to me to ship a device with backlighting with keycaps that aren't shine-thru, but so many of us like to customize our keycaps anyway that it's pretty much a non-issue.At any rate, after swapping for some low-profile, shine-thru caps, this is now my go-to device for gaming (I mouse left-handed).The only improvement I'd really like to see would be the ability to tilt-up the front edge, and an option for an integrated palm-rest. These two features are fairly essential from an ergonomics standpoint: the ability to tilt up the front for keeping your wrist straight, and an integral wrist rest for keeping the support where you need it when you move the device around on your desktop.Should the manufacturer create an optional add-on for such features, I'd gladly raise this to a 5-star.

I've been using this as a macro pad connected to an HID Remapper for Autohotkey macros. This macropad works very well, and it seems very well built...especially for the price.

Poor electric shielding. Didn't ground myself, got a spark, and a row of keys went dead. Determined there was no fixing it, because its controller was fried, so I tried rubbing my feet on the carpet and touching a key from another row, and that row went dead on the first try. Otherwise, the linear-type keys feel great, and I like the sturdy feel to the build. I'd buy it again if I knew they'd added proper electric shielding/management.

Professional caliber keypad with dedicated ( ) keys which makes entering formulas in excel or any other spreadsheet a breeze. Highly recommended.

I was worried about the qmk/via comparability based on one of the reviews. After some slight digging into "must be chrome based browser" and it has to have webhid to run. Yes, this is VIA compatible out of the box. I have only had it for a short period of time, but I can explain the reason why the other reviewer had issues that made me worried. If you read deep enough, downloading the installed software for VIA to make changes works easier than trying to configure the browser to work in some cases. I will be playing more so with this device over the next while before i add to this review.Numerical Pad by day, macro speed pad for evening gaming at night.

This is a very nice number pad with more buttons than would ordinarily be expected.I love having the extra keys which I can program for my own accessibility needs. Unfortunately low vision is among my accessible needs and I will need to change out some of the non-10 key caps for shine through caps until I have the feel memorized. The existing keycap legends look very nice, but they are low contrast which is not good for learning a new layout.The feel of the switches is very nice. It feels like a solid board.

Getting QMK/VIA to identify was a challenge as it would randomly connect/disconnect and no bootloader info on the website or manual
