Small mechanical (macro)-Keyboard

Hey guys :)

Inspired by Tarans video a few weeks ago, I decided to create a macro keyboard for myself, but instead for premiere, I wanna use it for Photoshop and maybe also Illustrator and Indesign. E.g. Crtl+Alt+Z and Shift+Ctrl+Z as 2 simple forward and backward buttons.

As I certainly don't need a full-sized keyboard, because I wont have so many macros, I was thinking about buying a rather small mechanical keyboard (maybe just a numbpad).

Do you have any suggestions on what I could get, that isn't extremely expensive? It ideally should be under ~70-80€

 

Thanks for your help :)

I was looking for something like this. Found many tenkey keyboards (numpad) from japanese copany like Sawada, Elecom and iBuffalo. It can be easily found for 1000 to 3000 yen in Japan (about 10 to 30 US$).

Might not be super easy to find, but possible : http://www.amazon.de/ELECOM-Tastatur-USB-Anschluss-kompakte-TK-TCM003WH-Japan/dp/B002NEF7Q8?ie=UTF8&keywords=elecom%20keyboard&qid=1461985739&ref_=sr_1_23&sr=8-23

And diodes and wires and Keycaps.

The price adds up fast.
