ok several things up front, the basic switches that come with these 10keys are functional but nothing to write home about. The construction of this 10key is nice, but the sound is unremarkable and I wanted thok thok thok. The key caps are also not spectacular and I will wear the numbers off them eventually but for now, they're perfectly functional. I do feel this 10key is a tad expensive when you compare it to the keyboard. However, the first thing I did was pull it apart and strip out the brown switches that this came with, I removed the bottom silicon insert and replaced it with a different insulation that killed all resonance in the housing. I also used painters tape on the back of the pcb. After reassembling it, I replaced the switches with some nice linears from another keyboard that I got that I like better and while not 100% improvement, now at least my 10key thoks even if it's not as much as they keyboard I'm typing this review on, it's a massive improvement. For the money, you get a functional red/brown/blue switch, a hot swap chassis, and very legible if not basic single shot I assume ABS keycaps but they look nice and they work. This is a decent value. The fact that you can upgrade the crap out of it, bonus! I expect this will last me a long while, size is perfect without being too big.

The keypad works well and the actual keycaps are nicer than most. The texture of the keycaps is nice, better than the sort of keycaps that come bundled on the keyboards supplied with most computers, and their quality is also good. The backlight works well, and is adjustable as the instructions describe, although I did need a magnifying glass to read the itty bitty image in the instruction sheet that illustrated which keys control which function of the lighting. I replaced the actual number keys with a set that I already had on hand for 1) the charcoal color that matches my main keyboard and 2) my keys allow the backlight to shine through the actual numbers which is nice. The feel is very very slightly less crisp than a name brand brown switch but still very nice. The keypad was instantly recognized by my Windows 11 computer, as it should be. The small size is nice, I can easily slide it out of the way when not needed. The attached photo shows the keypad after I had swapped in my keys that allow the backlight to shine through the actual numbers. The number keys in the photo are not the supplied keys. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another keypad.

Works great for punching in numbers at work. I like the adjustable feet. The delete key is a little hard to use, I use the rest of my keyboard instead for backspace

Basic/early versions of Outemu switches, including the outemu brown switch installed here, are notorious because they are extremely hard to pull out from a hot-swap keyboard with positioning plate.I managed to extract all the switches, but I slightly damaged (not clearly shown in the attached picture) the plastic positioning plate. I installed outemu cream yellow and replaced the keycaps with low profile keycaps that I already have. I am happy to see that the numpad and my keyboard match well.I understand outemu brown switches are cheap, but I would say just selling this numpad as a barebone will be better than putting outemu browns.

Works flawlessly, extremely satisfied.

Great feeling and sounding numeric pad. I like the colors and design of it

I am an engineering college student and I have lots of homework online where I have to enter a bunch of numbers. This number pad has made my homework experience more enjoyable. Great buy!

I ass-u-me-d that "backlit" meant the keys were lighted. Not so. The keypad background is lighted, but that makes it more difficult to see the keys in dim light. As for the numbers, I don't need to see them, but this keypad has special function keys that are virtually impossible to see in anything but bright light conditions.
