- letsgetphysITal 9y agoHow about a USB numberpad with all 16 hex characters? http://www.ipv6buddy.com/ http://www.ipv6buddy.com/ I am in no way affiliated, I just searched "USB hex numberpad"
- kbart 9y agoI've tried regular USB numpad, but it's just not the same as having everything in a single keyboard. You need table or stable base for that and typing is slower when you have to reach for it, especially if it's not fixed and moves constantly. Still better than nothing though.
- toyg 9y agoThat website cannot be real. The sarcasm is so thick you need a machete to cut through it.

- jaclaz 9y ago>How about a USB numberpad with all 16 hex characters? Thanks for posting that, I had no idea that such a USB numpad existed, though I have no "real" use for it, it seems to me like a really nice idea.
- askvictor 9y agoHow do you go about entering a-f in hex? Genuine question, I find I quite annoying when I need to do it, even with a number pad
- kbart 9y agoI guess practice is what matters most, it happens naturally now -- right hand enters digits, while left inserts a-f, x when needed.

- Drdrdrq 9y agoAre they any quieter than Cherry brown? I bought a Das keyboard and it is driving me nuts. I appreciate the tactile feel, but noise not so much.
- mi100hael 9y agoWhy not just use the row of numbers along the top? It's way faster anyway once you learn them.
- kbart 9y agoWhen using non-English keyboard layout, top row numbers are often converted to the locale characters, so you have to switch back and forth between languages to use them.
