Specs:
I have a small desk and bought something like this https://www.amazon.com/Number-Jelly-Comb-Mechanical-Numeric/dp/B01E8U8HKW
Being able to move it around helps.
If you don't care about Bluetooth I just bought this for $20
It's definitely a generic blue switch -Outemu- but it works great. For $20 when I desperately needed a numpad for some extended data entry was totally worth it. Very solid, long usb cord, metal plate with plastic bottom, and very compact, without tons of extra plastic like some of the other numpads.
Only complaint is the slightly unusual layout with the tab button and small + key.
Also it does output numpad codes.
I can't live without the numpad either, but I also need a lot of space for my mouse (very low sens), so I've kind of got the best of both worlds, with most of my keyboards being smaller form factors, and then having a separate numpad off to the side. I have this guy but there are a lot of other options out there.

It even looks nice sitting next to a K65...

Not sure how many F keys Windows would recognize but regedits (with SharpKeys or directly in the registry) would always be recognized.
The thing is that you need one that outputs numpad codes. If you do not get that, the numpad will output the numrow scan codes and remapping the numpad will remap the numrow above your alpha keys.
Here is a numpad for $20. It will output numpad codes that you can remap in the registry to be anything. It uses mediocre Cherry MX Blue clones but they aren't the worst. They are blue clones though so they "click" when pressed.
Willing to bet that it's a jelly comb.

Assuming I'm correct, do you find it OP? Did the weird parentheses buttons give you any trouble? (I've got one shipping to me as we speak)
Mechanical Numeric Keypad,Jelly Comb USB Braid Cable Numpad 22-key Number Pad - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_034qxb5NWRHFF
Just got it in the mail, going to do some tests. Anything you want to know about it? It'll be my first mechanical Numpad. It's a bit clickier than I expected.
You could always get a stand alone number pad. It's not quite the same as having one connected, but it's close!
Edit: Here's a cheap mechanical one that Amazon even suggested on the keyboard's page. If you go non mechanical, you could get one even cheaper.
> I feel like he’ll appreciate the full size since he’s a programmer.
This is potentially completely backwards. Programming isn't data entry, and a numpad is not required for most tasks.
I can't speak to his work style or personal preferences obviously, but many programmers prefer smaller boards. I get by with this.
I would say get the TKL unless you think he can go down to 60%, it's ergonomically better (keeps the angle of your shoulders better when using a mouse) and then you can get a separate numpad if he really needs it, that can be put away when not in use, or placed on the left hand side.
Honestly, I just use this one. The switches are kind of shit in my personal opinion, but it's easy to take apart and desolder so you can solder new switches into it. It's cheap and not too bad looking.
Just buy a separate tenkey, this one is amazing for $20. Plus it's not anchored to the side of your keyboard, so you can put it to the left if you prefer to enter data with your left hand or put it to the right of the mouse so your hands can be closer together.
I recommend this. It is a great numpad for the money, and can be a great project if you want to change the switches it uses.
This one, I think. I own one and it's very nice for the price.
It's not eBay but here's the cheapest one on Amazon.The only modern one I know of is the Ducky Pocket.
Probably Otemu blues. That same keypad is sold under a few names. This version on amazon says it's Otemu blue in the reviews.
Numpad only? As low as $17 on Amazon
Order this for $15, wow much clack, much savings, very money
USB number pads are great. (Nothing like a "jumbo tv remote", wtf I can't even.) I use and recommend https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/
Firstly if you like black switches, I'd highly recommend getting Gateron Blacks. They're far smoother than Cherry.
I'd suggest picking up a VA87MR when it goes on Massdrop again, fits your requirements of floating keys, minimal branding, detachable cable, backlighting, and has Gateron Black as an option, as well as costing ~$130ish. Only thing it doesn't have is a steel finish which I don't think you'll be able to find on most boards. There's also a aluminium case available to purchase separately for $120 or so.
As for the numpad, the cheapest option would be to get a Jelly Comb numpad though it has some nonstandard key sizes (also not available in blacks). There's also the FC210TP.
A "mostkey" with clears doesn't exist, unless you go down the route of a custom (e.g. b.mini EX).
here is a cheap, basic numpad
Jelly Comb w/ Kailh Blues.
Links, since imgur likes to break them on me:
(and click through to the imgur for instructions and whatnot)
no, but your keycaps probably are. they're super thin ABS. I don't really know how osu works but from what I've seen its 2 buttons right?
Why not just use a numpad
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01E8U8HKW/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used
16.99(19.99 new) used for a mech numpad, but it's got outemu blues in it.
This one doesn't match the style, but it matches the value...

$20 on Amazon Prime with Outemu Blues. Had mine for 6 months. Does just fine.
My favorite time to play roguelikes is whenever I should be doing something important, look schoolwork (such as right now). Usually I'll play for a few hours, a couple of different games but I'll focus on one usually. Currently I am focusing on Caves of Qud and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. I feel I might play some UnReal World today though, it's such a zen game.
Since I have a laptop the only thing that could be considered a set-up is I have bought an external keypad just for roguelike purposes.
Playing for a long time can be good or bad for me. It really depends on how cocky I get with my later-game characters, especially if the game has a part where it lets me be awesome, and lets me completely own everything (or I've just gotten lucky drops).
KC21 would be perfect but it's white. There's a Qisan Magicforce in black. The Ducky Pocket has 23 keys and is fully programmable. And here is a no name brand with clone switches for $17
I'm having a hard time finding exactly what you want with 17/18 keys but I know they exist
I have the same stick and using the rift. What works for me with extra buttons is that I place a razor orbweaver on the table to the left of my sticks and it works great!! You might not need that many extra buttons though and a tarurus would probably work just fine for cheaper. I was tempted to upgrade to the x 52 pro but I I love my current stick and I won't be upset if this breaks in me vs a 200 dollar stick that would make me very mad.
Edit:
I found this and i bet it works great without overpaying for the other gameboards.

The raised layer in the 5 key should make it easy to memorize each button around it so you don't need to see it in Vr.
Here's another for 9 bucks! If you use a shift key on your Hotas then you are basically doubling the amount of keys here :)

This HP Spectre x2 model at $380
Basically everything you want minus a numpad and backlighting. you could pick-up a numpad with mechanical switches for an extra $20 https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
Dont know if youd call it a stellar deal, but its there
Jelly Comb Numpad. I got the white version and ended up handwiring it to use as desoldering practice/macropad and to have a removable cable. The switches are really loud but very nice.
I will go with something like this or [this] (https://www.amazon.com/X-keys-Programmable-Keypads-Keyboards-XK-60/dp/B0092SGI0C/ref=pd_sbs_147_34?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0092SGI0C&pd_rd_r=4E3VJZE240C17AXZE3KP&pd_rd_w=Rk1Kd&pd_rd_wg=K1xYi&psc=1&refRID=4E3VJZE240C17AXZE3KP)
I feel the same way. If I had more interest in this keyboard I would probably just buy it, and then buy something like this, Num Pad Keyboard
Looks great and much better than I could do :)
You could try animating him waving his hands on 1s instead of just "blurring" the movement.
For hotkeys, buy something like this and the remap your hotkeys to it.
Tenkey:
Pok3r's a good choice, even if you already have one IMO.
Magicforce21, while a Jellycomb is even cheaper but only blue switches.
Not cherry switches but gets the job done

https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
Here's one in black without the branding, they don't seem to have the white one listed currently.
Not sure if it's 100% identical to OP's but the shell looks to be the same. The one I linked has Outemu Blues which are rather loud, and it has buttons not found on a normal 104-key keyboard's number pad.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
https://www.amazon.com/Number-Jelly-Comb-Mechanical-Numeric/dp/B01E8U8HKW
There are lots of rebranded ones that are exactly the same. Mine was from ebay. Switches don't feel as nice as authentic blues, but I'm not complaining at this price :)
There is a numpad that often shows up on r/mechanicalkeyboards that is said to be of great value for its price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_034qxb5NWRHFF the letters arent all that pretty though.
Is this the $20 mech numpad on amazon? Are they gateron or outemu switches? It looks pretty great to me!
This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_qL4rxbM69NBJE
Was super happy when I found it.
Woah i did not look at the cost of this in CAD holy crap that is expensive ($300 bucks plus $24 in shipping). Very good review on your part though, kinda sucks about the rebinding configurator though.
Completely unrelated but i feel like you might think this is cool. Its Outemu Blue Numpad (Outemu are Cherry knockoff's, but there pretty decent), and for $20, has full metal construction, braided cable, and some cheap Blue's. You may have seen it before cause it was on the front page like 4 months ago. Thought you might find it interesting because we have pretty similar tastes in keyboards IMO (i have been eying the model M and zealios purple for a while :P)
Is it this one: Jelly Comb ?
Ask and ye shall receive, I remembered: Number Pad,Jelly Comb Mechanical Numeric Keypad USB Braid Cable Numpad 22-key Number Pad - Black (Blue switch) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I0XIAbXRM8RTR
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E8U8HKW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've been happy with this for the last 6 months, keep it to the right of my mouse when I need it and tucked under a monitor when I don't.
It's funny to me that in the Roguelike world this is our SNES controller.
You could use a more elaborate arrangement of modifiers, like this guy does.
Or back on your original idea, some people have used a USB numpad for that purpose.
And it's always possible to DIY something more elaborate like these guys did.

I got one of these to put next to my throttle
Then with AutoHotkey, I made a script so that when numlock is disabled, the number keys act as the F keys so I can use the radio. It gives me enough keys to map for the little bit that doesn't fit on my HOTAS.
Works really well, and since it's just a few keys, it's really easy to go by touch.

I believe the $20 on Amazon one people have posted about recently does
It's a Jelly Comb off Amazon. Here's a link for you.
Bought a TKL board and need a numpad for work. People mention issues between some numpads and scan codes, wasn't sure what this was. Was just going to get this, unless anyone has suggestions?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E8U8HKW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2KS0J1U8ETPOQ&psc=1
any suggestions? i am thinking about getting this one
Jelly Comb is about as good as it gets for the price.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sIKyybW4612NM
So my TKL keyboard comes in today and I'm super excited, but I know I'm going to miss my numpad at least once a week as I have rotating duty on handling inbound requests for the company that require quite a bit of data entry.
Being in the weird position of wanting a numpad occasionally and not needing fantastic best in class quality, but also not wanting a piece of crap, is there any reason not to buy the [$17 numpad] (https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481055306&sr=8-1&keywords=mechanical+numpad) off Amazon? I don't really want to spend $50 for something I won't spend much time using, and it's $10 for a horrible flat-as-can-bel USB one at Microcenter that has almost no separation between keys.
There's definitely cheaper numpads, I have a Leopold FC210TP but it's still $60. There's the jelly comb for $18 but if you want cherry switches or just a white higher profile case I think I saw the Varmilo VA22M or something similar drop recently.
r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/numpads
Here is mine I followed this guide. When I bought mine it was only $14 on Amazon. If you start with the Jellycomb Numpad, you don't have to buy switches or a case... Just the Teensy 2.0 and the diodes.
There may be other options, this one is very easy to get you started.
If you're really not picky:

Outemu blues. I've been using one for about a year for my streaming hotkeys, it's still working great.
I want to get a 22-key keypad kind of like [this](Mechanical Numeric Keypad,Jelly Comb USB Braid Cable Numpad 22-key Number Pad - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_28jUzbVJC1WG3) to use for gaming along with my mouse (as opposed to a full keyboard which i would only use half of).
So I have two questions- I am going to be rebinding all the keys on the keypad, so I want to get keycaps with custom letters/symbols on them (nothing that wouldn't be found on a full keyboard), so 1) where can I get these and 2) Is there a better keypad keypad out there, or will this keypad do?
I'm new to mechanical keyboards, so honestly I just wanted to try one out for a cheap price. The reviews on that keypad say the switches are a lot clickier and louder than Cherry MX blue switches.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501380738&sr=1-2&keywords=mechanical+numpad
The gateron greens feel pretty nice to me. I believe they're the same as blues, just with a heavier spring. I think the extra weight makes them feel a bit smoother and also changes the sound they make very slightly.
The numpad is from here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apap_FfxTKCAkHGwNG
How would you compare the NK01 to say the Jelly Comb or the MF21? Clearly the MF21 uses gateron switches, so that's a plus if you don't want clicky blues but if you used either of them that'd be interesting. Also, I don't particularly care about their cap quality since they'll all be pretty meh and I intend to add a GMK numpad set.
It should work whether or not a keyboard is even plugged in, the software your mouse is running through makes the computer think your mouse is a keyboard when you press the button. You could test that just by unplugging your keyboard.
And like I said, I also am rather attached to the idea of having a number pad which is why I only caved when I found standalone mechanical number pads. Like this one
It's a Poker 2 and mechanical numpad I got for $20. The Poker is browns and the numpad is (very satisfying clicky) blues. I got the keycaps on Massdrop and found I couldnt go full blanks so I put the numbers/brackets etc back in.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
Seems like this has great reviews and is cost-effective. Outemu blues (US):
/u/ClarkTheCoder he's talking about this one
just be cautioned that it has a split + sign so custom caps might be difficult to get.
I'm into simracing and want to use a USB Keypad as an auxilary button box on my sim rig for extra functions like ignition, headlights, wipers, etc.
I was thinking about picking up something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464098094&sr=8-1&keywords=mechanical+usb+keypad
But I'd like to customize the keys, I can't justify $5-10 per key to have custom keycaps made, does anyone have a PSD key template file where I could make my own custom labels then just print it and cut them out?
yeah it definitely isn't big deal but figured it was worth a shot. I think I'm going to go with this one http://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
Thoughts on this numpad?
Does this Numpad from "Jelly Comb" output numpad characters?
How about buying a separate numpad?
I just picked up my first mechboard!

Is it possible to replace the switches on this jelly comb numpad with MX clears? https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW
I'm totes MC goats good at soldering but have never soldered switches before so if it is possible a guide/tips would be awesome. Thanks!
Would you be willing to try something like using a Leopold FC660M with a dedicated numpad?
I currently have a similar setup with my HHKB and I use my mouse right in the middle. I find it much easier to access everything and it's more ergonomic because less distance between your mouse to typing.
Oh wait, just saw the RGB requirement. Let me look around again.
are there any USB standalone navigation keyboards? like https://smile.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484080956&sr=8-1&keywords=numpad+keyboard but for the arrows and ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn buttons WITHOUT numpad? Is there a better keyword to search for than "navigation keys"?
You mean this one? https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Numeric-Keypad-Jelly-Comb/dp/B01E8U8HKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483978772&sr=8-1&keywords=Jelly+comb+keypad And its hard to swap a switch?
If you aren't in a rush there is this on Massdrop. Otherwise something like this.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E8U8HKW/
I believe they have outemu blues. Not a big fan of 1u + key though. I would rather do kc21 for $39.99 any day
First timer here too. I just bought this, went to the wiki for help finding keycaps and Christ it's huge. Different shapes and inserts and angles. So overwhelming.
Just get a Jellycomb or other external numpad and an RGB board. That looks pretty bad.
Do you want it to be programmable? I use a programmable board and numpad, but I honestly have no idea why I need a programmable numpad if it's just for spreadsheet work.
That being said, non-programmable there's the Jelly Comb.
For programmable, you have The Cluepad and the Felix. If you want a challenge, you could get a NKPC switchtester and make your own like u/theimmc
He can get this and this if he wants to go that route.
