Hey overclockers!

I was praying for a few good-minds to help me on a specific subject.

I do ATM own a KBT-race 75% white mechanical keyboard with red switches, including a custom-made wrist rest which I also gave extra length for potential keypads or extra macros, but since I cant find mechnical keyboard 75% compact red switch keyboards with macro keys, I am looking for a secondary solution:

Does there exist a 1,5-2 CM high Mechanical Numpad/Keypad with blue or red switches with a as-small/thin/narrow-side as possible, so that my finger has the most acces to it?

Thank you!

That is cherry blue, not red.

I don't know of ANY cherry red numpads. You may have to give in and get another switch type (I mean you're not going to be using your numpad constantly and a mech switch is still better than a membrane even if its not your favorite mech, right?).

Alternatively, you can pick up a mech numpad and swap the switches out yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron. Will double your costs though/

Cherry blue should be fine, it is only my little-finger and my ring finger that uses it.

That numpad is way too thick.

Off the top of my head all I can think of is the topre realforce numpad (topre hybrid switches), the Goldtouch (cherry brown) and the one shown above (blue). They'reall roughly the same thickness although the topre is a much nicer unit (IMO).

I believe filco also makes one, but don't quote me on that and I have no idea about it's specs.

EDIT: oh, and of course there is the Optimus Aux, if you would call that a numpad. Nifty little thing although the price is outrageous and it's certainly non-standard. Still the same thickness.
