    Why isn’t there a numpad? That’s pretty disappointing, honestly… I play a lot of games that make use of that.

      I also find entering numbers on a numpad to be much easier and feel more natural, probably because of growing up with calculators. They definitely have a place on modern keyboards.

        Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily

          Yeah, last year I finally dipped my toes in mechanical keyboarding and my 2 requirements were to have a numpad and some media let’s like volume. It was actually kinda a nightmare to find.

            Yep. Took me forever and I never found one I was completely satisfied with.

            I’m rocking the GMMK Pro with the KBD Pad MK II

              I eventually found a red dragon keyboard that I’m fairly happy with. I bought some custom key caps because the ones that it came with were Ugly.

              It has a volume scroll wheel thing that’s pretty cool. Some macro programming stuff that idk what anyone really needs.

      10-keyless keyboards are (kinda unfortunately IMO) popular with the custom keyboard crowd. I’m actually a little surprised that it’s not available in an even smaller form-factor.

      Really, this would have been an instant buy from me if it had a numpad. Kinda doesn’t make sense that a retro themed keyboard wouldn’t have it! I love everything about the design otherwise.
