Oooh! Sexy!

Kangaroo switches? Not familiar with those, how do they feel?

They're a really great tactile -- best I've used. My only complaint (and this may not be an issue for some people) is that they're very loud. But on a macropad, where I'm not usually hitting keys in quick succession like typing on a keyboard, it's not an issue.

Sounds intriguing! I do like tactile switches, although I prefer them dampened, or on the quiet side. Have to get some and give them a try!

I've been looking at a dedicated numpad/knob macropad, but I'd mostly use that for number entry, so clicky wouldn't be bad.

Thanks for the idea!

Mine arrived this week as well. Does yours also have issues with keycaps rubbing against the plate and clearance around the keycaps making removing them quite difficult?

Mine was far worse with rubbing keycaps with Box Jades than the Drop Halo Clear (or Halo True not sure) switches I swapped to next. I have Gateron G Pro Red (the Halo sounded awful in it) that are about the same as the Halo for keycap rubbing.

Yes, taking a keycap off this thing is a trick -- my tool doesn't fit around the tight clearances. But I haven't had any keycap rubbing, perhaps due to the ESA tall&narrow profile?

I haven't tested any other switches or caps on this. I pretty much knew which of both I was going to use when I ordered it, and I've had them both ready to go for a month now.
