Mechanical Keyboards

Thanks! I had on some cheapo GMK knockoffs from AliExpress while trying to find a keycap that I wanted. Keycaps are a pain to find since so many of them are group buys or super expensive especially if you need a number pad and want accent colors. GMK's base sets are like $125 but their base doesn't include a numpad so you need to add that for another $40 and then accent keys are another $30. I will say that the AliExpress are decent but they weren't uniform keys and they definitely don't feel as good or quality as the NovelKeys.

Yeah. I work in commercial lending and do a lot of financial analysis so I need a numpad. This board was a treat to myself for getting a new job that allows 3 days remote work where my last job had to be in the office 100% since I was managing the lending department. But this is a perfect compromise on space since really narrows down the navigation key area from a 3 wide section with arrows/home/pg up/pg down/del/insert/etc and bumps the arrows into the main section and then just gives a couple keys for navigation. I have them set to Pg Up/Pg Down/Delete for the three keys between the numpad and letters. The purple key at the top of that section is Home. FN+Purple key is end. And the bottom one (the blueberrys) is delete and FN+delete is Print Screen.

I was between the Q5 Pro and the Zoom98 which has a very similar layout but I didn't want to wait for the group buy on the Zoom98. Super happy with my purchase though on the Q5 Pro.

I got one with a Chromecast 4K - when Stadia was announced to shut down, Google refunded the whole bundle. Both are still in use and were basically free
