🔢️ 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Numpad: Complete Your C64-Inspired Setup!

[@HunterTinsley]

That's hot. I'm a firm believer in the numpad being on the left side, so this will be perfect.

[@retrocombs-tech]

Ah, yes! I should have thought of that. Great for either the left or right sides!

[@HunterTinsley]

@@retrocombs-tech On that note, is there a magnet on opposite sides of each device to assist with this?

[@retrocombs-tech]

I checked it out yesterday. Sad to say it does not have the magnets on the left-hand side.

[@GabrielTepasse]

Great review, thank you!

[@retrocombs-tech]

Thanks! I’ll be sure to keep the reviews coming-just like my overflowing laundry pile!

[@GG-tx8ej]

On sale on Amazon! Just got it i love it

[@retrocombs-tech]

Awesome! And even better with a Black Friday / Cyber Monday discount.

[@tmann986]

I can’t believe that numpad is also a calculator lol.

[@retrocombs-tech]

Crazy, right!? I do love this thing.

[@76williamsbh]

I have the N version of both and that num pad is sweet! It is so cool to be working on a spreadsheet or something, switch to the calculator for a quick calculation, and swap back to the num pad without taking my hands off the keyboard.

[@SchmartMaker]

Small correction; the keycaps on the C64 edition are double-shot ABS. The other editions have dye-sub PBT keycaps.

[@retrocombs-tech]

Thanks for the correction! Appreciate the assist.

[@jasoncorganbrown]

Does the primary keyboard come with Run Stop key or other adjustments to made it the same layout as the original c64?

[@retrocombs-tech]

Sorry, no. It's a pure modern keyboard layout.

[@jontaylor1586]

Personally, I like to have the numpad built into the keyboard.

[@retrocombs-tech]

Some else commented that they like their numpad on the left. Having them separate allows our lefties to move the pad on the side most comfortable for them. But I do get your preference too. Keeps them both together.

[@retrocombs-tech]

And they just released the keyboard you are looking for: amzn.to/40Eek7b

[@kvmftOriginal03]

Hi, does the calculator show a comma separator for large numbers? (thousands / millions)

[@retrocombs-tech]

Sorry, it doesn't. Here's an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKjUcoetjJppkLMsi=K-NTbSt8CXa53j2B&t=288

[@sesa2984]

Way too bad they didn’t make this compatible with the C64. It would have been great to have a number pad on the old bread bin. So sad. I really wish they’d allowed the superbuttons and super stick communicate with the Commodore too.

[@retrocombs-tech]

I think they did create a C64 with a numpad. Didn't they call it 😆

[@pluckyking]

I saw other reviews and they said that macros couldn’t be assigned to the numpad, but now you’re saying that it can. Who’s lying?

[@retrocombs-tech]

I've been able to access the keyboard using Better Touch Tool on the Mac. I'm not a windows users, so not sure if anything can be done on Windows.

[@trungtechandtoys]

This numpad can not be "remaped"!!! Beware before you buy!!!

[@retrocombs-tech]

It can with software on the Mac. Are you a Windows user?

[@ernestoramirez9053]

@@retrocombs-tech Can you share how you were able to modify mappings? Or perhaps just how to program the calculator button on the numpad to trigger something on your mac (i.e., launch calculator app)?
