Ducky Pocket (Cherry MX Blue) Keyboard
D**S
Finally! a Numeric Keypad that has the Real cherry switches and a display that you want.
I matched this to my Ducky One Tenkeyless Keyboard and was so excited that someone made a matching BACKLIT RGB WITH SCREEN and QUALITY MADE Numeric KeyPad that also acts as an independent calculator. With a 2 finger key push you can switch between a quick calculator mode offline, and then back over to having it place the numbers on your computer screen. When you think about it a numeric keypad when used often is naturally going to take a thrashing so why would you not want great keys on it? I also added the Cherry O-Rings to the keys just as I did on my keyboard where I pound harder than others and of course it makes it much quieter while maintaining the "clicky/bump" that I have been accustomed to. The O rings also allow me not to hear any "bottoming out" thuds. It comes with Cherry MX Blue switches already which I prefer.Being able to move it anywhere is a big plus. If you need to use a calculator it only makes sense to be able to place it on your left or right or on the other side of your mouse so you don't have to reach past the keypads that are built into0000 full 104 key boards. You can also simply pick it up and use it in one hand like you would any other handheld calculator. 1051The built in one line display screen is bright and you'll just love it. Some keypads have no screen and require you to look at the computer monitor which is completely abnormal when entering in a lot of numbers.The functions and sequences are well placed and the chain calculations are already built in without special settings. When you're done using it in offline calculator mode and you've arrived at your number you simple hit the Fn+Send and it shows up on your computer screen without even leaving the offline calculator mode (Awesome).You can change the RGB coloring to do all the same things you can do with your full Ten-keyless keyboard. They call this a "pocket keyboard" but it does require the USB cable however it matches the size of the Ducky keyboard just perfectly. You can also turn it off.Lastly but worth mentioning, these keyboards work perfectly on a Mac or a Windows PC. Enjoy!

Great numeric pad. Docs could be better.
I can't fault the build quality of this number pad. The keys are nicely 'clicky' (Blue Cherry MX) and the heft of the pad feels good. There are 3 modes of operation (calc, PC1, and PC2), where PC1 and PC2 have fully configurable keys. You can also program macros. Honestly, the Amazon product description doesn't do this thing justice, and interested people should hop over to the Ducky web site and look at the product documentation (not allowed external links, so just google ducky-pocket and follow the duckychannel.com link.) Overall, I am very pleased.There is one thing that bugs me, however, which is why the 4 stars (really 4.5ish).While you can change and/or turn off the LED key backlights, you cannot turn off, nor dim, the calculator display. I could forgive this if I was in calculator mode, but when I am using this thing as a number (gaming) pad, the blazingly bright blue/white rectangle is a bit annoying.Another thing to note is, as you can see in the pic of this pad butted up against my keyboard, it is full-sized. This is great in my opinion. However, if people are keying in on the "pocket" part of the product description, well... you had better have very large pockets.*************EDIT 8/29/18: A community member pointed out to me that FN+3 will toggle the LCD, which was literally my only complaint for this product. I guess now my complaint might be with its documentation, but nope... I'm gonna own this one. So, 5 stars!
