I'm happy with mine
I'm pleased with mine. Very solid, and it looks nice. It was the first mechanical keyboard that I soldered myself. I am notoriously bad at soldering, but I didn't have any trouble, and it turned out great, so I have no complaints!

Very Poor build quality
It arrived with a dead PCB and no spares or replacements were available. Fairly rubbish in general.

Built like a brick
I can not even express my joy with this numpad. When I received it I was imediatly struck by the its weight. With switches and caps installed, it weighs in at an even pound (0.45 kg). The outer walls are 4mm thick aluminum! The bottom plate is actually glass. No nasty acrylic here! Lets the RGB give the unit a subtle underglow without being obnoxious. The catch? Well it is a kit. It does take some basic skills for assembly. However as long as you are not terrified of a soldering iron, it's pretty easy. There are a couple of gotchas. First of all, the PCB is a blank slate from the factory. It will send zero scan codes till programed. This means you can not test the switch circuits untill you place an initial firmware onboard. I suspect this is responsible for a couple of bad reviews. I had initially planed to use some Millmax sockets to make it hot swap capable . However the USB port will not clear the case opening if the the PCB is even a fraction of a millimeter lower.

(just an FYI, I built the unit using ZealPC Aqua Zilent 67g swtiches, and a set of SA Dancer keycaps)

Decent PCB and kit. Went fine for me. Not bad for price.
I read some reviews before I put it together. I was dreading it and figured I might have a bad experience as well. I cannot excuse the "rose gold" being orange in the pics shown, that is no good at all. I ordered red and it came out just fine. As far as screws I wonder if you got no screws at all, or you just thought the PCB screws were missing? Mine came with 8 screws total I believe... 4 for the plate and 4 for the back of the case. If you did not get a plate with yours I can see where the problem would be but I think they should have all came with a plate. Once you solder the switches to the PCB you should not need screws as the solder and plate hold the switches and PCB in place. The keys were plenty stable once the plate is screwed to the case. My kit had 3 stabilizers so I put those in and installed in standard numpad formation but if you want to play with the software and reprogram the board I think you can make it a macropad or whatever you need. It worked fine once all put together and soldered, and I actually will probably just keep the standard layout as it works for me for now. But as far as parts it came with everything for a standard numpad and even had 4 3M rubber stick on feet. On the negative side, the lighting leaves a bit to be desired, just four smaller size RGB on the bottom diffused through frosted acrylic is not lighting up much even on highest setting. The switches also have LED through holes though, if you want to light up the keys themselves, although the lights were positioned at the top of the switch and I usually prefer them being at the bottom but that is a nit-pick. I used switches that don't take LEDs so I couldn't test the key lighting and it was a moot point anyhow. Also my plate came screwed into the case upside down, but that was no big deal once I realized it. Wouldn't have minded a clean look with the company logo engraved on the bottom as well but that is just me. I am sorry for those who did not get what they wanted, but also wanted to say that the "COSPAD" is not a nightmare either necessarily. Good luck with yours and I hope you don't have issues.

Ordered rose gold. Item received is ORANGE. Requested full refund. I'll update review if drop refunds me full amount. What a joke. Never buy from drop again.

good num pad, wish it didn't have forced branding on the front
search
Besides the forced branding on the front, this number pad is high quality. The stabilizers are pretty garbage, I recommend getting durock or everglide stabs. The stabs that come with the number pad are poorly trimmed, and I had to spend an hour deburring the stabs and stems to get them to work smoothly, even with proper lubing. Once that was figured out, everything else came together very smoothly. I wish programming it was easier, or that it would be programmable with VIA, but that isn't even an option for more expensive keyboards. Given the price, I think my expectations were exceeded, as I now have a high quality num pad made of CNC milled aluminum. So happy to have a number pad for my left hand for gaming and work.

looks fantastic but can not use at the moment
The numpad looks great! only problem is it came with no screws or spacers to install the board. am I supposed to buy the screws myself? was it supposed to come with them? Don't know enough about building boards to track down what will work. If someone can help me out it would be awesome.

That may be right for an Ergodox, but this plate has to accommodate several combinations of key dimensions, and some keys will fall through the stab cut outs. For example if you use split plus or split enter, and (for some reason...) "1" and "2". So when you press those, the plate does not offer so much stability, and most of the force will go through onto the PCB. However, I do agree with your point that it might have been expensive to include screws and standoffs for every kit, but I feel like it's kinda shady that it's not specifically written in the details that it does *not* include those, when the photos show obvious support for PCB mounting to the plate. Furthermore, it could have been an extra option on checkout, an addon for $5, that would give you the specific screws and standoffs required to mount the PCB to the plate, for whoever needs it. This would have been a perfect solution for everyone.

monovertexI ended up buying a hot swap PCB with USB C for this case. If I could find out what size screws to buy that would be great. All my other boards came with the screw and mini nuts. I am unfamiliar with these sizes to know what to buy.
