Just got a similar version off Amazon last week and really like it. The one from there came with ABS caps but they were nice. I changed them out for PBT though, added o-rings, and put some batting underneath the PCB to help dampen the plasticy echo sound it makes due to the case design. Now it feels and sounds pretty great. A couple things that made me chose this one over other affordable numpads was choice of switches, detachable USB, and that it remembers the previous LED brightness setting. Also, to help get back in practice with Fusion360 I made and printed a couple different case designs. I ended up sticking with the original because it looked so good with the blue keycaps, but was considering a low profile one with a magnet or something to attach to the side of my desk.

acastoSo I'm guessing it's easy to take apart?

blakstealthOh, yeah. Just five little screws underneath the keycaps.

acastoOh! Okay. I've been eyeing this specific model with the clear case and thought for some reason that the PCB was somehow encased in the enclosure, but it just sits on top of the case held down by screws. Thanks!

acastodoes '=' work if you use it with the calculator app? I bought a numberpad in the past and = never worked with calc. i.g. if you do 2+2 and then =.. does it return the answer

m28mUnfortunately it doesn't seem like it. If I open up notepad and hit fn+num it prints the "=" sign. But doesn't seem to do anything in the calculator app.

Anakin9310Oddly enough, I bought this along with an FC660C last week! Loving it so far. Such a nice keyboard. Silencing a topre board is quite a bit different than a cherry style one. You'd have to use something like HyperSphere or Silence-X rings which involve taking the keyboard completely apart. The r/mk wiki has some good info: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/modifications_topre Edit: But if anyone is wondering how I dampened the noise on this numpad I just put a couple pieces of a swiffer dusting cloth underneath the PCB and o-rings on the keycaps.
