Hi, I've just purchased the 70% K3 and I'm looking for a numpad to match. Can anyone recommend a numpad with low-profile keys and a detachable (preferably USB C) cable and/or wireless connection?
Alternatively, if there are no low-profile models out there, can anyone recommend an affordable numpad with RGB? Something like this, with a brand/support to back it up? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185115664067
Hi - first time posting here.
Looking for recommendation on a keyboard that has similar form factor to Logi K585 (14.5-15in wide, numpad, and somewhat thin), backlit.
I don't think I've ever spent so much time looking for a keyboard before; but once I started looking, I could not believe the number of choices.
RoyalKludge RK96 is perfect size and functionality; though I would like a little thinner and perhaps RGB (but that is not necessarily a need). But it is a front runner for sure.
NuPhy Air96 V2 looks great but it is a bit over my budget (~$80).
Irok FE98Pro looks doable but I know nothing about the brand (and is it really that thin).
Seenda Backlit Multi-Device could be ok but that is even more sketchy (the dimensions don't even add up).
TIA
So I've used a Logitech K360 for many years. My first one lasted a long time before it started having various issues. The second one recently developed a problem with the space bar not working half the time (a pretty important feature). I tried prying off the space bar to clean, and snapped it in half. I tried swapping in the old keyboard's space bar, but the design is different, and it doesn't fit.
Today I received a MX Keys S. The quality is 10x higher overall, ie the keys don't wobble like on the K360. The full layout takes a lot of getting used to, but only ever knew this layout until getting my first K360.
However, it turns out that the compact layout was a pretty key feature for the K360, for reasons I'm sure have been tread over plenty on this sub. Namely that instead of having both the keyboard and mouse in front of you, now one or both are pushed to the side, introducing that dreaded rotator cuff repetitive strain mouse arm.
I'm a bit bummed by this, because I'd rather just keep this thing and be done with it. But if it's going to be more irritating later...
TLDR: Is there a wireless, compact, low profile keycap keyboard that still has a number pad, other than the K360? Or am I stuck trying to find more K360s forever. I can't imagine not having a number pad.
I don't have a specific budget, but I can't imagine what I'm looking for being any more expensive than the MX S I already have here.
Also, I don't care about gaming keyboards, mechanical et al. I'd rather it be quiet than precise. Rimworld is pretty forgiving of keyboard precision.
Thank you very much for enduring such a lengthy post from a non-r/keyboards person!
