Multi-functional numeric keypad

This is the GK21S, a numeric keypad that supports Bluetooth & wired. It has built-in RGB LEDs, and the artisan keycaps glow beautifully. It is quite light for aluminum, and I would like a little more weight. The RGB LED and macro settings can be configured in the dedicated software. I looked at a lot of stores, but I think this guy is the only numeric keypad with Bluetooth & wired, hot-swapping, aluminum case, and RGBLEDs. I highly recommend it. The only thing I regret is the plate mount stabilizer.

Put box royals on it and virtually any cap is a dream. I jacked up a hotswap socket with a bad pin, and it was surprisingly easy to disassemble and repair in a short time for someone with no from-scratch build experience and soldering skill limited to slapdash repairs on older stuff with bulky components like radios. Wireless is more reliable than airpods and other "high end" devices. Build quality is good, with the right materials in a pinch it would make a decent flail, or such as a small warhammer

Great after a little work

At full price, it would be hard to recommend, but when discounted, it's worth considering. It's very sturdy. I really like the look. I did not have interference with SA keycaps but it's tight so you might have to unscrew it and make sure it's aligned to perfection. The switches are north facing so it means cherry keycaps will interfere with many switches. In stock form, it is quite pingy. I added foam and a little tape under the contact points and it did improve the sound profile significantly. Bottom line, buy it discounted if you are comfortable with opening and doing some basic mods, otherwise it's a pass. I like mine and I think it looks stunning with SA Oblivion.

Great wireless numpad

Easy to use, and love the customizability. Took some time to memorize the keys to power on/ off and change the led patterns but eventually remembered it.

It's a nice $95 paper weight

I would expect more quality control from Drop. I realize that you are working with 3rd parties, but I believe this is not the first time you have run a group buy for this item. How there are not minimum requirements that the 3rd party must meet to ensure a good/easy experience boggles me. Or, if there are.. I can tell you they are either inadequate, or not met. The product itself looks/feels very nice. However, it did not come with a quick start guide - Not QMK/Via compatible. It was not clear that I had to download a propriety app (which is fine).. I found out by watching others struggle with other Skyloong products on YouTube.. their website is entirely in Chinese which does not make one feel comfortable when guessing that I am downloading the right file to my computer. The 3rd party software required is, to be quite blunt, a load of shit. Once I thought I figured it all out - The keypad still isn't working. Shame because it LOOKS very nice. But unless you fancy yourself a nice numpad paper weight, I would look for other options. After waiting nearly a year for this to be delivered, I am completely underwhelmed and will not be joining any device group buys moving forward. If this issue will just receive a 'sorry' message and there is no intent to actually escalate this to be resolved moving forward, don't bother responding. I don't want a discount, I want confidence in what I am purchasing.

Pretty bad for the price.

Do not buy this if it comes back around. It's an overpriced, mass produced Chinese numpad. Comes with no manual, or even a quick start guide. Good luck trying to figure it out without any documentation. The build quality isn't the worst I've seen, but it's not worth $100. You can find this in stock, and for considerably cheaper if you do a quick search. Waited months for this and was really disappointed when it arrived.

Avoid this product

Pros:

Hot swap PCB worked pretty well

Cons:

Battery life isn't great, less than a day with RGB, and less than a week without RGB
No way to turn the numpad off, even locked the battery will continue to drain
The installed stabilizers are a bit mushy
The bluetooth is unusable, it pretty much goes to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity so the next time you go to use it it takes a couple seconds to reconnect before it can used again
Didn't have any luck with programming using the suggested app, was never recognized
Is not recognized in wired mode, have to do a bluetooth connection

Overall terrible product, would not recommend.

Not worth the money

I like the overall feel and design of the number pad but the bluetooth is not reliable I find it going out once a day, mine is always plugged in. Also I am getting sticky numbers a lot more frequently. The website for the product is a general corporate website that isnt very helpful either I would not recommend this due to the price and lack of function. Maybe for $40.

Great as a wired numpad; not very usable wirelessly.

As a wired numpad it's fine. It's hot swapable so you can use any combination of switches and keycaps you want. The sound and feel isn't as good as my CTRL but it's good enough. The numpad's biggest weaknesses are it's software, battery power, and it's bluetooth connectivity. The software was just very difficult to use--in particular the RGB functionality. The battery power isn't that great and I have to recharge the numpad every other day. The worst feature of the numpad is the wireless bluetooth connection. When coming out of standby, it takes 2-3 seconds to reconnect with the computer. I have other bluetooth devices that sync up near instantaneously. If I have to suddenly use the numpad to enter a code/PIN, it's basically unusable until it syncs. This isn't acceptable in 2020 and I docked a full two stars for this.
