Perfect with a little adjustment
I almost sent this back when I first got it. Well actually I could had sworn I ordered Red Switches but instead I got the Blue ones. I went back and I almost thought even with the right switches it would be unusable. After searching for a replacement I went back to this one and read some reviews. A reviewer mentioned he replaced the keycaps which was my downfall with it as well. Let me explain.This comes with key caps that are painted on and a very bright backlight. The backlighting is completely useless, imo, if the caps are painted. Just as I was giving up I came across a reviewer that had replaced the keycaps and vola, it worked.So I found some 6$ key caps bought them and bam! Smooth feeling flat keycaps that allowed the light to shine through. Returned the Blue Switched one for the Red and it was perfect. As you can see from the pic it is only backlit with a white light. If you look closely you will see t he light shining through the keys with the new caps on it. For the price point it is obsoletely worth the money to get it plus the 6$ or so for better key caps. They keys caps were easy to replace. I had never replaced keys before and had little trouble with this. I will worn be careful with the bigger keys as I almost broke the enter key. Lucky for my my husband is a patient man and worked with me to fix the switch that I near pulled out. Go slow and easy wit the Enter and Plus key and you will be fine. To adjust the light hold the minus key down and push plus or enter for the brightness.I should add the feel of it is wonderful. I used it one evening for gaming to see how it worked. I use my number pad as my action buttons in my game and it worked wonderfully. I didn't even notice I was using something other than a normal keypad. If you have a compact, or tkl kb and need a number pad addon get this one. You will not regret it.The Red switches btw are silent, and the blue are beyond clicky. If you like the keys super quiet you might wanna get some o-rings for the key caps. I did add those as well because I like silent keys. They helped add a little bump to the linear (red) switches while stopping the caps for bottoming out which cause a click.

Great mechanical numerical keyboard!
This is a great, sturdy numeric keyboard for a laptop user who's looking for a number pad to make life a little easier. Keys have great tactile feedback, and it's compatible with linux, window, mac, and android laptop devices. It's a full size num pad, which helps, too. It's a little too chunky to be a permanent member of your computer bag *just in case* you might need it, but also not so obtrusive that you wouldn't want to take it with you if you were planning on using it. Still, for at home use in occasional accounting sessions, which is what I bought it for, it's a great addition to your digital tool set.

Perfect 10-key Number Pad!!
I purchased a 65% mechanical keyboard recently with the intent to purchase this Kisnt Number Pad separately. I don't need the number pad all the time but I do like to use it for imputing numbers (banking, for example) and I have a specific MMO game that has in-game keys bound to the Numpad.My smaller 65% keyboard easily fits on top of my 34" curved monitor base, up out of the way while I use my gamepad along with the number pad and mouse to control gameplay. Perfect setup for me.I also like that it is backlit since I keep my computer area dark to make gaming and streaming on an ultrawide monitor much more enjoyable.Anyway, for how inexpensive this is with its construction quality and mechanical Brown switches, it was a no-brainer for me. The only con I could possibly give this is it only comes in one color. But even then, the light color helps me to see the numbers clearly whether backlit or not.I would absolutely purchase this again if I needed it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Very well made; works flawlessly.

Nice 10key, needs better switches
I got 2 of these one black one white, my wife decided she didn't like it being separate so she's upgrading to a full size mechanical. Overall this is a decent 10key, however the switches work fine, they are not going to win any prizes. The 75% keyboard that Kisnt sells is quite a lovely keyboard with nice thoky sounding switches but they don't offer the linears in the 10key which is just... why?! Color was a near perfect match to the keyboard so that was nice. I'm going to keep the keyboard because I got it on sale during the Amazon Spring sale and it was $34 and now it's back up to $50. I will take that guy to work and enjoy it there. The 10key unfortunately is being returned. I will say this, like I said in my other review of the black version, if you want a hot-swap socket 10key, and have some nice switches that you like, and some fun keycaps, this is a really great value. There aren't many mechanical hot-swap 10keys out there with decent construction. I can attest that replacing the basic brown switches with a nice linear, well... I love mine. This is a decent solution if you want a 10key that's not going to break the bank, and gives you the option to customize it.
