MelGeek Mojopad Numpad

The MelGeek Numpad is a compact numeric keypad designed for users who need additional number input alongside their main keyboard. It suits office workers, data entry professionals, and keyboard enthusiasts who want tactile feedback and flexible connectivity. Its hot-swap sockets allow easy switch customization, making it a good choice for hobbyists who like to modify their typing experience.

Key Features

• Gasket-mounted design with silicone and Poron layers reduces typing noise and vibration, offering a softer, quieter keystroke.
• Hot-swap switch sockets let users change switches without soldering, enabling easy customization or repair.
• Programmable via MelGeek software, allowing key remapping to fit specific workflows.
• Includes Gateron Pro Brown switches, providing tactile feedback without loud clicks.

Build Quality

The case is made from ABS plastic, which balances durability with a lightweight feel. The gasket mounting separates the plate from the case, reducing harsh feedback and improving typing comfort. ABS material resists wear but may show shine over time compared to other plastics.

Typing Experience

The combination of Gateron Brown switches and layered silicone and Poron dampening creates a tactile yet muted typing feel. This setup reduces key noise and vibrations, making it suitable for quieter office environments. The acoustic profile is softer than typical mechanical numpads.

Connectivity

The numpad offers both USB-C wired and 2.4 GHz wireless connections via an included USB dongle. Wired mode ensures stable connection during intensive use, while wireless mode supports a cleaner desk setup. Battery life details are unknown.

Trade-offs

• ABS plastic is less resistant to long-term shine compared to PBT keycaps.
• Wireless mode depends on a USB dongle, which occupies a USB port and may limit compatibility on some devices.
• Battery capacity is 2500mAh, but actual runtime is not specified.
