seeing all these 10keyless keyboards has given me an itch, and i need to replace my office one anyway

however it'd be batshit insane for me to work without a numpad

is there a cool couple independant numpads i should know about?

god damnit why did i click this thread, now i'm looking at the rgb version of the corsair k70 thinking it'd be super rad to be able to setup custom coloured keys for shortcuts with alt and ctrl presses

arguably that also goes against anything except stock keycaps from an aesthetic point of view

looking over the poker 3 the thing that caught my eye most was the programmable feature

what's out there with more than 32 recordable keystrokes in a nice tenkeyless package?

I feel really guilty about owning the Logitech G910 Orion Spark

It doesn't even do anything cool with the RGB backlight :(

i looked at the g910 but the sci-fi gamer look is a turn off since i'm in the market for an office kb

the corsair k rgbs look nice, but they come with the caveat of a really lovely brand logo sticker (replaceable), a rather steep number of hours to setup proper if you want to do software dependant highlights and not just random shiny patterns and the absence of a k-lock

I'm te coloured WASD to remind gamers what to push

yeah that's the obvious marketable thing but personally since i use a poo poo ton of shortcuts in office or indesign or whatever it'd be a good learning tool if i can hook in a menu dependant state where i can do keyboard highlights of the new things i'm trying to remember

it's a totally frivolous use case, but once you add in the hardware level macro capabilities heh, works for me i guess

it's either that or a poker 3 + external numpad + dolch keycaps, i'm still thinking about it

Being able to hit every key you need w/o having to travel far (or at all) off the home row, reclaiming valuable desk real estate & 60% keyboards look sick as hell (except HHK2)

large hands supremacy, i'm an inch short of covering a full size keyboard from right ctrl to esc with a single hand

that said, not having to angle your wrists around all the time if you have actual human sized hands is a valid ergo concern, same reason why i try to avoid transitioning to my mouse if possible

+1 on the good looks, albeit my personal idea of a neat 60% replaces keys 1 through = with f keys since i'd rock an external numpad anyhow

actually, anyone know what keyboard would allow me to remap those keys at a hardware level?

on the topic of freaky things, rekey this and it's kinda hot, an extensible numpad with plenty of space for custom mapping

This thread finally pushed me over the edge to decide the G910 is bad and it needs replacement, so I ordered a Corsair K95 with Cherry MX browns and those translucent keycaps :catdrugs:

Expect glamour shots in 14-21 days

do me a solid and after you're done doing low light super cool shots please take a couple in real world daytime conditions

i really like the idea of corsair's rgb boars but i have a suspicion that the colors bleed all over the place

however, i dont need a keyboard that has the same exact numbver keys TWICE. dont u all realize how stupid that is.. smdh

replace 1 through = with f13 to f24, at least that's what i usually do

we're replacing a ton of machines at the office and we'll be going the build it yourself route

need a bunch of boars to go with

suggestions for models/switches? it's rather high density so anything that can cut down on the click clack we had with the previous cheapo oem boars would be good, but also keep in mind i can't spend mid 3 figgies per
