24 year old disaster bisexual renault megane driver with a few sonas but none have fur so i guess that makes me the resident scalie
so I'm trying to find a new fancy mechanical keyboard to replace my Corsair K70 that's probably coming up on something like a decade old now but I've run into one roadblock
like 90% of the offerings are TKL keyboards and I want me a numpad (partly for caves of qud lmao)
i've seen a few but I'm completely alien to the world of fancy mechanical keyboards
alas i shall consult my friend who does know and continue my search
Keychron has just about any layout you could possibly want. The one I have seems pretty nice.
oooh, I actually quite like the looks of these. Thanks!
im not sure what you mean by fancy, but Leopold keyboards are as solid as bricks and a dream to type on (their stock key caps are really nice - they don’t have lights though, if that’s what you mean by fancy). Ducky and Varmilo are less solidly built but are generally flashier.
you can also get an external numpad - if you’re right handed and use a mouse, putting the numpad on the left is more ergonomic so your mouse can be closer on the right and you don’t have to reach your arm out as far. I personally didn’t have any muscle memory issues with that but I know some people do.
Or, if you want to go Really Deep, you could get a non-staggered layout and put the numpad on a layer.
the fancy stuff was just a silly way of trying to say i'm avoiding another Gamer keyboard like my K70 lol
The Leopold keyboards DO come in some pretty cool colourways, though. I'll keep an eye out for UK sellers since stock over here seems a bit scarce
