Review: 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.
Review: Great quality, affordable price - Feels high quality, feels lightweight, but still has a solid build. Backlit is not bad at all, can be adjusted or turned off. Switches are smooth, making it satisfying to work with when doing numbers. Great product for the price, and so far has surpassed expectations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice 10key, needs better switches
*by P***S on April 5, 2025*

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.
