    Fair enough. I have a spare goldtouch if you're interested...

    I'd only be looking to get back what I paid which was about £15 including postage.

    Having tried the various form factors, I decided a while back that full size is the only way for me now. I like the look of TKL more, but I just use the numpad all the time so it only really makes sense to me to get all the keys in one place.

    But the numpad should be on the left!

    I'll PM in a few minutes - should really try to get this pile of books marked first... It certainly is browns :)

    I like being able to move the numpad into place when I'm using it and then pushing it back out of the way to make more room for my mouse when I'm not - I couldn't do without a numpad however :)

    I can't even touch-type, so witchcraft like that will be best avoided.

    I use quite a small mousepad so I suppose I feel the benefit of TKL less, since pushing my mousepad up to the edge of it would leave my hands too close together for comfort when gaming.

    Let me know if you've any more cheap numpads etc to sell mate (or anyone else), I'm still after an amount of switches to finish this project. Likewise anyone who wants a to change a numpad to reds and let me keep the browns/blues I'll do the job free of charge and pay the postage both ways :)

    Looks good! Might have to look out for one of those! That or a Topre keypad and pay $390342.34. Don't like the cable though! lol

    I do indeed, very solid pad with an awesome FN layer, and the plate mounted browns are a treat too. :)

    Hmmm, I am loving my new TKL Filco, so a matching Filco pad would be good, can't seem to find a beige one?!

    There was a gb running for these (tinnie on DT / GH) but it seems to have stalled a bit (Chinese New Year maybe)

    You only don't like the cable as it's not one of yours!

    I'm not sure that beige ones actually exist...

    Was just a joke man :D Paranoid does a damn fine job too. Shame the beige ones do not exist, I would love one. May just grab a black one, they are only 40 quid.

    Got a Goldtouch in browns as well. Paid 16GBP + 4 shipping.
    Let me know. I would have to check the price of shipping to you though seeing as I live below sealevel. :D

    Oooh do let me know bud, if the shipping isn't too scary it'd do the trick perfectly. Cheapest possible method loose in a jiffy bag would do me :)
