Ugh, why always these keyboards that are missing 1/3 the keyboard. Full-size please
I need a keypad.
Can’t tell if sarcasm…but I do need a numpad, yes. I could actually do without the top numbers instead (but leave em all there regardless!) :D
I was talking about me. No sarcasm here. I need a keypad for work. I enter long numbers all day long and my left hand is needed to tab to right places so it can be input.
You really probably don’t. Just learn to type on the number row the same way you type your other keys.
Yeah, that doesn’t work. I need my left hand to tab to right places and right hand to enter long digit strings on a keypad. Pad 100% necessary for good output rate.
On the chance you’re not aware, they do make a pretty cool little matching numpad. It’s not quite as nice as having a full size keyboard (I wish they docked together with magnets or something), but for just over a hundred bucks all in, it’s a decent compromise.

*ETA: I was basing the “just over a hundred bucks” on the keyboard having been $60 on woot for the longest time, but looks like they are sold out :(
Thank you, I did not know that. I will have a look at that, maybe it’ll be a good compromise for me, as you said. :)
what’s the point of the huge buttons?
They do whatever you program them to do, but the point is just the retro vibes.
If this came with ISO layout I would get it immediately. I can’t stand the horizontal enter key from the ANSII layout.
*horizontal, but yea. ISO seems to be hella rare. Don’t euro-peeps really buy mechanicak keebs that much?
Sigh, there was a 50% random chance to get it right. You would think the fact that I actually know which is which would skew those odds in favor of me getting it right
