I'd been wanting to build a numeric keypad for years to replace the TKL keyboard I currently have. Then I saw ScottoKeebs' videos, and they inspired me to create one.

So, I looked on Printables for a design similar to what I was looking for, and that's where I started building it. I already had a Raspberry Pi Pico and a 128x32 OLED screen, plus several switches a friend gave me, so all I needed was the motivation to build it (and my brother's 3D printer).

And I'm really happy with how the design turned out.

Last week I was looking for a keyboard with a metal or aluminum body on Amazon because I was tired of the plastic one I had (Aula F87), and I found this keyboard for $35, which I thought was a steal since it usually costs between $180 and $210.

And honestly, I'm thrilled with the keyboard. The metal case adds an extra touch of luxury.

And I'd forgotten that with Cherry MX Brown switches you can hear the spring click (my first keyboard was a HyperX Alloy FPS with the same switches), unlike the Gateron Brown switches I had in my previous keyboard.
