MOTOSPEED K27 One-Handed Mechanical Mini Gaming Keypad 27 Keys, 9 LED Backlit USB Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for Pro Keyboard Computer/PC/Desktop/Laptop/Mac

Fantastic little numpad with red linear switches and all the features I would want from a standalone numpad. The LEDs are also surprisingly nice but I do wish there was an easy-to-use software for configuring lighting and macros

Great little numpad

I really like this numpad. Really. I would actually take it to work so I could input numbers using my left hand. The ability to change the switches was lovely. I didn't want my keypad to accidentally be too loud, so I replaced the Gateron reds with their milky yellow caps. I also swapped the keycaps to match the keyboard I have at home.I wanted to be able to easily bring this to home, school, and work. I am an accounting student who had an accounting internship. I would take this numpad to work then do my homework with it. It was super easy to use. It is a bit on the chunky side for me, but still super easy to carry around and was much better than using the numbers at the top of my keyboard. I would say to just use your own shorter USB C cord.The item desc says something about a driver installing on your computer when plugging it in, but that didn't happen to me.The one thing I don't like about this numpad is the light strip that runs along the sides of it. It is not customizable. However, the main lighting area, where the keys are, is. This was pretty confusing to me, and the bright RGB light strip going through its lighting cycle sometimes looks out of place. I thought maybe I was using it wrong, but have not found a way to change the lights on the side so far. Although, you can also turn the lighting off, which is what I usually choose to do.

I really like the Gateron switches this has! very smooth to type on, the RGB isn't too complicated but the software for it is really easy to use. I got this for data entry / coding because I switched to a 70% keyboard to get more real-estate for my mouse, I can now move this out of the way when gaming and my second favorite thing is how I can use it on the left side like my old sidewinder had!

Fun LED settings, and clicky keys! I got tired of the garbage keyboards at work so I bought this and a 75% split keyboard instead. My coworkers love it and have stopped by my desk to check it out several times.I like that I can set it wherever I want so I can get the most comfortable layout for me. My wrist and shoulder are way less strained now. It works well, doesn’t lag or anything, and is a nice size. It comes tented/inclined, which I like personally.I think it could use a case though. I’m not worried about the keys popping off or anything, it’s not flimsy, but it’s a bit awkward to put in my work bag without a case to level it out because it bumps against my other stuff. That said, it is quite portable and doesn’t take up too much space.It’s USB-A cable only, so if you need wireless or Bluetooth, don’t get it.

Out of the box the numpad feels as cheap as it is. So I used a razor blade and only the foam in the packaging to make sound much much nicer. First, I disassembled the entire thing and cut the black packing foam to fit very snugly in the bottom of the case. This absorbs and dampens the vibrations and rattles that make it sound cheap. Then, I wrapped the pcb in the thin foam from the baggy the keyboard was shipped in. That helps prevent rattles as well. Finally, I replaced the switches with some durock pom sunflower t1s. It is not easy to take apart. There are no screws under the rubber feet. The top cover clips on and there are two visible screws in the back securing it down. There are five more screws inside holding the plate and pcb down to the case. It feels and sounds very nice and sorta thocky now. Also, it works out of the box with out the driver so I didn't bother downloading it.

Regardless of how it's advertised, this keypad is not programable. There are also hidden settings that you need to dig the internet to find out and aren't covered in the manual like altering the speed/brightness of the side light. If you care about programmability, don't get this one.

The 1 key is way to far inward for muscle memory. Very hard to hit to select weapons. Alt key is too far left making it hard to hold when neede.
