I received the numpad a few months ahead of schedule and I was thrilled. Until I turned it on, that is. Dead. Had to charge it after I found it wasn't DOA. Figures in the small brochure included are of little help. For example, it mentions you can activate the Charging/Low batt indicator by an Fn+key press but such indicator is of little to no help. LED blinks red when battery is low. Ok. But when charging, it remains forever yellowish. Then the NumLock function. I mean, it's supposed to activate/deactivate the numeric mode, right? You unlock Num and the keys become Del, PgUp, etc. Lock it again and it works as a regular numpad. Well, not on mine. NumLock indicator turns on when unlocked. You try to use PgDn and it doesn't do anything. But the NumLock returns it to numeric functions. Press it again, num unlocks, press Del (the period key) and get nothing but the numpad returning to numeric. Now the software. I have never used an app to customize a keyb. Not QMK/VIA experience. But I think I could use it with no instructions. Well, the resolution is fixed at 1200x900 with a dropdown list with no other content but the 1200x900 item. This makes half of the program outside of my screen. I use a laptop with a vertical resolution of 768 so the top is outside of the screen with no way to pull it down. When it starts and the top is on screen, there's only a bar with a question mark, a flag to indicate language (Chinese or English), 3 dots with a dialog that shows the fixed resolution and a button to "Restore". That dialog has "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons. The other two buttons are minimize and close. No help, no instructions. I'll try to use it later. That's it. The numpad itself serves its purpose with no added value (for me) other than having the TAB key on it. If I can reprogram it for the supposed other 3 layers it has, maybe I'll find it a better investment, but for now, it's nowhere near as good as a generic RF numpad I bought at the stationery store for 5 times less money. It's not mechanic but it does the same job and works as soon as the machine is turned on. No need to load BT drivers. I can use it to enter the BIOS password. Also it works with a AAA-battery that lasts for months. I like the GK21S looks and how it feels, but it could have better software and more important: good, thorough, comprehensive instructions to customize it. That software is awful. I hope someone with the needed skills makes an open-source alternative and becomes a numpad hero. XD

If these were metal I would have instantly bought it. Apparently they're cheaper on aliexpress though. Sad times...

Feb 7, 2022

OrCohenpretty sure this is exact same kit on amazon for $50. with prime 2 day shipping. and also 4 choices of switches. and keycaps... https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-Bluetooth-Swappable-Interface-Programmable/dp/B095C9YGLV or save $1.95 and wait 6 months. tough choice! or am i just missing something thats different on the amazon one? cause looks like exact same thing.

radpoodleYes, Amazon doesn't ship worldwide for free. That will work for the US, and heck, even here in Israel, but some people will prefer to order from AliExpress.

If put on cable mode, it doesn't charge. If put in BT, it charges slowly, way, way slow. Maybe because it has all these LEDs on, consuming all energy. But turn them off and you lose the battery charging indicator and, it seems, the charging too. After full-charge (eons later) you turn it off and if you turn it on a week later, it has low-battery again. Seems the scan routine responsible to detect the turn-on combo consumes a lot of battery. I ended up installing a real power switch. It made the battery last longer. Like 2 days longer. Can't wait to gut it and use only the case, the plate and the battery with my own board.

Same exact experience, does it just charge over USB? Never really sure what mode it's in, nor is the configuration via function key intuitive. I regret this purchase.

Aristarco

Thanks. Mine came with a printed copy of that. What I meant is I'd like the configuration software had any instructions. Most people say it's like QMK but having no experience with QMK, I must admit I was lost. The software has no help and is a bit confusing. Lots of trial and error to make it do what I want it to do. Also, the fixed resolution of the app made it difficult in a 720p screen as it was clipped at the bottom and some messages did not display until I added a second monitor.
