Does this numpad have backlighting features?

Product Description

The Keycool 22 Key Number Pad is a compact external numpad designed for users with compact or tenkeyless (TKL) keyboards who occasionally need a dedicated number pad. It suits office workers, data entry users, or anyone wanting to add numeric input without a full-sized keyboard. The device offers basic backlighting and multimedia control functions, making it a practical extension rather than a standalone keyboard.

Key Features

Double shot ABS keycaps provide durable legends that resist wear over time.
LED backlighting improves visibility in low-light environments, aiding accuracy.
Two USB 2.0 ports add connectivity options for peripherals or pass-through use.
Multimedia functions accessible via FN key allow quick control of media playback without extra software.
Available with Greetech MX-style mechanical switches, offering tactile or linear feedback depending on switch choice.

Typing Experience

The use of Greetech switches provides a mechanical feel similar to Cherry MX switches, with options for different tactile profiles. This supports faster and more precise numeric input compared to membrane pads. The compact layout reduces hand movement for number entry but may feel cramped for users with larger hands.

Build and Portability

The numpad is lightweight and small, making it easy to carry alongside a compact or TKL keyboard. Its plastic case is standard for this type of device, balancing durability with portability. The inclusion of USB ports adds some versatility but may increase cable clutter.

Trade-offs

Limited to wired USB connectivity, so it requires a free USB port and cable management.
The 22-key layout may lack some specialized keys found on larger numpads.
Backlighting is basic and may not offer customization or multiple lighting modes.
Compatibility details such as OS support or firmware customization are unknown.
