Rottay Number Pad, Mechanical USB Wired Numeric Keypad with Blue LED Backlit 22 Key Numpad for Laptop Desktop Computer PC Black (Blue switches)

My old numeric keyboard, which I thought was amazing, finally died. So I had to find a replacement ASAP. Found this one, and it was the only one that was reasonably priced and didn't have too many or too few gizmos on it. Willing to take it at face value because I was desperate - and it turns out to be a lot nicer and less hassle than the old one! Its easier to press the keys, there's less resistance (but just enough), the height of the pad and keys is easier on the wrist and causes fewer errors. Lighter weight, and fits into things better than the old one. I do wish it didn't "click", but its a pleasant, quiet click, not a loud, tapping one - and it does let you know if the keystroke was actually registered. Overall, I'm glad I got it! One potential issue - its a USB connection, not a USBC. That may become an issue with a newer computer...

Just got it a few minutes ago but so far so good! I never tried Outemu blue switches before and they are pretty clicky!I like how easy and concise your manual. Good instructions and easy to follow.The actual numpad works perfectly. I like how you can turn off the backlight or half dim it. That's a nice option.I also like how you guys decided to add extra keys like backspace, esc, and the calculator button. It makes using the calculator way better!Here are some critiques/improvements I think this could have. Note that I think this is already an awesome product! I just think it could be improved, but I'm not the manufacturer so no worries if you guys don't think this applies.1) I am not a fan of the tab and num lock keys. I feel like they could have been some other keys that would have been useful. Like maybe the left and right parenthesis. I don't use tab often when I type my numbers, and if I do, I already have one on my main keyboard. Also have one key dedicated to num lock seems excessive. You could turn on numlock with a key combo like you guys did with the backlight. Then make that key something else.2) Allow for more customization. Maybe have a white numpad available. Also let people choose different switches. I think best case scenario is make the numpad hot-swappable with rgb backlighting and have it come in black and white options. This would probably cost you a bunch initially to make and you would obviously charge more for these options, but there doesn't seems to be many mechanical numpads in the market, at least compared to mechanical keyboards. I think you could make a good profit if you invested in making products like this.Overall the seller was super upfront about what they were selling and the product fit the description perfect. For $16.99, this product was affordable and fit just what I needed. I will be sure to update as time passes. 5 stars for now!

I haven't seen any reviews specifically mention the keycaps and their sizing, so I figured I would....All of the keycaps and switches on this pad are Cherry MX compatible, which means that you can swap the included mediocre keycaps with anything compatible with Cherry MX stems. However, only MOST of the keycaps are standard ANSI size. If you compare this with an ANSI keypad, you will notice the + key here is not the standard double size, but instead single, so that they could fit a backspace key in above. Also, there is an extra row at the top with four extra keys (esc, calculator, tab, and =).So, as you can see from my layout, even if you swap a few keys here and there, it will not be possible to swap all the keycaps without having more than one set of extras - and even then you will have to get creative as tab and backspace aren't standard size. Also, the escape, tab, backspace and equals keys report as they would on a standard keyboard - meaning that even if you swap the keycaps, they cannot be macro'd or remapped in Windows without losing the functionality of said key on your regular keyboard. eg if you change the function of the tab key to volume_up, it will change both the keypad's tab and your other keyboard's tab key, and whenever you hit tab from either one, you'll be pumping up the jams and not tabbing... There is a way around this using certain macro software, but this software will trigger several different gaming anti-cheat programs, including VAC, so I don't use it. I do use AutoHotkey to enable the use of my volume keys, and it won't trigger anti-cheat.The only other thing to mention regarding my layout is that because I couldn't replace the top row with my volume keys, I had to place them elsewhere, and their heights don't match the other keys in their respective rows. But, since I don't have my hand on the pad all the time, it doesn't bother me much.All that said, I bought this primarily to improve my mouse/keyboard ergonomics for competitive gaming. I replaced my full size Ducky keyboard with a Vermilo TKL and this so that I could retain the macro/hotkey functionality of a numpad, while allowing me to have my hands in a more natural position for gaming. It works perfectly for that.The switches are clicky and tactile, as blues should be. The cable feels very cheap, and I have been careful to not pull or bend it too far because I have no doubt it would cause problems. The pad itself is somewhat light, and would be improved with some extra weight added inside the case. Lastly there is no angle/height adjustment, so be prepared to prop it up if you're into that sort of thing. The thing is, this is currently the cheapest mechanical keypad on Amazon at $17, so all of those things are forgivable.If you're curious about the custom keycaps I am using, the full set is the Akko x Ducky "Queen" keyset, with the light blue keys being Tai-Hao neon (or light) blue rubber keycaps.
