I have no need for a numpad, none of my friends use fullsize keyboard either, and those that Do occasionally need a numpad have a bluetooth one so it's not in the way for the 95% of the time they don't need it.
Different people have different needs :P
In F1 the games, for instance, I use the arrows and the num pad keys for functions - DRS, etc...
This part of the keyboard is important:
The manufacturers cut the num pads in the notebooks simply to cut the costs and because of lack of space in their small designs.
Carry on!
I simply do a lot of counting, price offers, so I need to calculate money... I guess for those lacking that need it is undeed. :nutkick:
Some of us actually use our rigs to do things like, you know, W O R K or something to that effect, hehehehe :)
Anyways, although I kinda like this KB overall, I will stick with my Logi G613 for now, because it IS full sized, is solid and reliable, has all the keys I want & need, and it is Wireless too !!!
That said, I'll be gladly skipping this Corsair board.
Many tkl are great and $60 or less.
Strange.
media controls, volume bar instead of FN keys (Why does it have a Fn key, if they're not used/labelled on the keycaps??)
optical + PBT + detachable USB-C keeps them on par with competing keyboards, too
That corsair logo at the top should be a basic OLED display, like the old logitech keyboards To many of us, that's a requirement - not optional. Not everyone wants half the desk taken up by something they dont use.
