[ The Inspiration ]This was born from being disappointed in the lack of premium numpad options available at the time of initial design as well as age old instigating questions like "what if we slapped an o-ring into it?" and "what if we slapped bluetooth into it".
More ramblings of context:
I was also influenced by one of my favorite kustoms the GHv2 by LZ.
The engraving and name was born from some cheeky wordplay of songs by one of my favorite artists Machinedrum. I binged his music throughout this design process and felt inclined to immortalize it within the design. His use of numbers in his song names also integrated well into the theme of the numpad.
NUM1: a play on 'Come1' off the album “Room(s)”
Only 1 Way 2 Numpad: a play on 'Only 1 Way 2 Know' off the album “Vapor City Archives”
I was made aware only somewhat recently that a fellow member of this community HineyBush designed the TKL ONE and the NUM ONE (I knew the TKL ONE but didnt know it had a numpad!). Given the name is nearly identical, I reached out to Hiney for permission to continue use of the NUM1 name for this project, He approved!
Thanks Mr. Hiney!
