Of course, most people get by with simple, membrane keyboards, which the Jelly Comb N001 and Seenda Slim both emulate. Both the Cateck Combo and Satechi WKP31 stand apart from all the rest, the former because of integrated USB and card slots, and the latter because of its 12-digit LCD and the ability to function as a standalone calculator.įor some tasks, the home number row just won't cut it, and not all keyboards come with a built-in number pad. These last two models offer a 35-key layout for those that need a lot functionality from their number pads.

Unfortunately, all of these models are wired, so those that prefer something wireless will have to look elsewhere, such as to the Jelly Comb N030 and Jelly Comb N042, which connect using a USB dongle, or the Satechi WKP31, LevKey 6257,BonBonbrothers Wireless, and Joyeky Bluetooth, all of which have Bluetooth. All of these also feature backlighting, however the MSK24 is the only one that offers RGB illumination, which will probably appeal to gamers. For example, those who are used to premium keyboards with mechanical switches will probably find the Perixx PeriPad 303B, Motospeed MSK24, and Qisan Magicforce feel the best to them.

Since not everyone uses their number pad for the same kinds of applications, we made sure to include a variety of models well suited to different uses.
