etatauriCan backlight be set to be on all the time, and not just on when a key is pressed?

theimmcYou can have it set to pulse, activate on keypress, on, or off. There are 4 levels of brightness. On the 'on' setting it has a similar effect where on certain key combos, some of the LEDs get slightly brighter.

etatauriThank you. And also thanks for the review. I cancelled my order based on the lack of 6KRO. Their decision to save a few cents on diodes cost them a sale. Other than backlight, it functions identically as the Jelly Comb, and I already did a switch replacement on my Jelly Comb so it has the switches I like.
Though it could be said that your review cost Massdrop at least one sale, reviews like that is why I shop at Massdrop in the first place.

etatauriThanks for this.
I was thinking a numpad might make a good gaming accessory to complement my TKL keyboarrd.
I'd have chosen linear switches,
But I guess I need to look for nkro in a numpad. Is that a thing? Or is the search going to lead me back to a razer gamepad?

First, I'd like to let you know that although this numpad is not an ideal solution for alt-codes, I still do not regret buying it for its build quality and numeric entry use case. The price was also good. However, there are some things that maybe some of you would like to know before buying.
1. A lot of keycap inconsistencies. Mine came with a lot of misalignments. The FN, backspace, * are skewed to the right. The *, and / are too low compared to the -. The del(.) is too high compared to 0 (ins). See photo above.
2. I don't expect hitting multiple keys with this numpad, but be warned, if you will be using this for gaming, it only registers 2-4 key presses simultaneously. Thankfully the arrow keys all register all together, but if you are pressing say, for whatever reason, home and pgup, you will not be able to press 6 or some other key for example.
3. Lighting is weird. This issue might be related to number 2, but this thing seems to be wired interestingly. When I press 1,3, and 7 together, the 9 will light up also. (see photo) Some other key combos do this as well. I don't plan on using this numpad this way. But I hope this will help some of you guys who might be thinking of specific ways of using this product.
