Love it! I chose the blue switches. Usually, blues are too clicky for me but on something like a num pad that I'm not using as frequently it's a fun little switch up. Plus, the Elvish LotR key caps are a great touch.
The connection is with an older USB cable, which is a little annoying for when I want to rearrange things on my desk. But overall, it serves its purpose
Feels fine, and works. I would prefer to be able to change some of the functions and move them around, as I don't need currencies on my numpad. But it's still pretty much as good as I can get for this price, so I'm happy.
I bought a detached number pad for my Carina keyboard, and it was quite good.
However, I wanted to customize the switches to match my Carina build, but the switches were soldered on and couldn't be changed. Although it looked nice, there wasn't much room for customization. Fortunately, I had the skills to desolder and solder, but it would be inconvenient for someone who wanted to match their board with the same switches. Additionally, I didn't like that it had a mini USB cable.
I bought an 80% keyboard from Drop and needed to order a keypad. Unfortunately, I didn't have much selection and this keypad was only available with the brown switches. The keyboard I ordered has yellow switches and the brown switches just can't keep up. I'm looking to replace these switches with ones to match my keyboard as soon as I can. I gave the product a high star rating as the keypad is really nice but not recommending the brown switches.
I use it at work connected to a mac, it works as a numpad just fine regardless of the state of the numlock and none of the fn+ options work other than changing the lighting settings, which is fine. It would be nice if there was a heavier weight switch option.
After spending a month or two with this product a few issues became pretty apparent. The sound and feel are just..okay, barely feels like a mechanical, decent amount of rattle along with a hollow sounding case. The main problems are the lack of hotswap and it being wired. Not only wired, but mini-usb which is more than a little annoying. At $50 you can do a lot better for a macro/numpad nowadays.
