WARNING: The Equals key on this TenKey is programmed from the factory as a Macro. That means that when you push the key, it runs code that sends the Key strokes Alt, 6, 1. If you are using programs that are incompatible with Alt Codes, then stay away from this TenKey!!! The program will just fill your data fields with 61 every time you press the Equals key.
I purchased this product after comparing roughly 3 MECHANICAL TenKeys across the internet. Frankly, the Mechanical TenKey market is stagnant at this time. You can only find 3 different TenKeys with Mechanical keyswitches (ignoring variants of the same product). TenKeys that compete with this one have several issues including moving keys around from what you are familiar, splitting the large plus key into 2 normal sized plus/minus keys, and adding extra buttons. Competitors tend to put some arbitrary keys on the (extra) top row. Keys like Fn, Shift, or Print Screen. Competitors will also add unnecessary functionality to the board, like media controls (this is where the Fn key would be used). You can even find ones covered in LEDs.
But Real Talk: I only wanted a portable TenKey with Mechanical switches at a good price. This Filco Majestouch TenKey is the best you will find that fills the description. I would have preferred to not pay around $50, but like I said this market is stagnant. I could have shelled out $100 for a much nicer version of this very TenKey from another company. But for twice the price, it doesn't seem worth it.
If you are a person looking for a mechanical TenKey that will serve not only as a Numpad, but also shift ancillary functions off of your main keyboard, then I would recommend looking at some the of competing TenKeys that I was talking about. As well, if you are looking for nice LEDs,then I would recommend the competition.

Could use a little better angle adjustment and the keys were a little less ...
