It took a little while to get used to the smooshed layout. For the first week or two I kept hitting numlock when reaching for backspace. But I did get used to it and I enjoy having nearly all the keys (no print screen, FYI) with a footprint about the same as my old TKL board.
Oh I love this one. How are gateron switches compared to MX? I had shitty romer g on logitech and replaced it with another one with MX and its day and night difference
I have a wired FL-Esports FL-980, which I love at the price I paid ($45 “used” board on Amazon + $15 aliexpress keycaps + $30 switches). Even if I hadn’t sprung for the keycaps or switches, it came with Kailh Box Whites (same as this 8bitdo IIRC) and some decent double-shot PBT Dolch keycaps (if a little thin) in Cherry profile. They make a wireless, but I’m not sure I love it as much at 2x or 3x the price of my bargain basement board. The basic types you’re looking for are called “96%” or “1800” though.
Any suggestion on a smaller form factor wireless *with a numpad?
I’m running the Keychron K4: https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k4-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-version-2

I like my Keychron K4
I spent a lot of time debating between the k4 and the k3. I think I just like compact layouts.
That’s what I’m using. Lovely keyboard. Aluminum frame feels high quality, keys feel good, and design is very minimal and understated.
