Crack addiction looks to be a growing problem, now a whole company has been overcome.

Oh well at least someone's trying to make Nvidia look meager in they're markup.

Starting at $680. Nah dawg, keyboards are items that need replacing from time to time.
A mech. KB should last for a long period of time unless it's abused. Some of mine are near or a little over a decade old. I think the price for this KB is outrageous but I presume it will last; it certainly should for $700.

...Its not a gaming version. You implied that ergo and 10 key don't go together. It's ok if you didn't know such a thing existed. And when the right one comes a long, I will buy it. I had to replace my old ergo because it sucked ass for gaming.

You clearly haven't indulged in watching "gamer rage" videos on youtube, then. Watching these grown ass man-children fly into a tantrum - a lot of whom actually end up breaking their keyboards, mice, etc. -- whenever they get killed in the game they're playing is both hilarious but also....slightly disturbing. And the poor keyboards :(

Honestly don’t know what you’re on about

...Its not a gaming version.
I don’t think there are any ergo boards marketed towards gamers? Not that it makes any difference, just saying. Any keyboard will due, although I’d be worried about breaking the sculpt.

You implied that ergo and 10 key don't go together.
No, I didn’t — I said they’re different devices, much like the Microsoft board you posted. See how they’re not one unit?
It's ok if you didn't know such a thing existed.
I did, it’s just not in the same ballpark as most ergo keyboards, which are mechanical, typically more expensive, and aren’t bundled with a mouse and numpad.
And when the right one comes a long, I will buy it. I had to replace my old ergo because it sucked ass for gaming.
Sorry to hear and hope you do! Best of luck!

In my post, I stated I wanted a 10 key ergo gaming keyboard. You stated they are anti-ergo and I'm looking for the wrong product. However, the Microsoft solution would fix the issue with the detachable 10 key. I don't need them to be one unit as that really doesn't matter as long as its there when I need it. You and I agree when it comes to the numpad not being included, but they should be included. Once someone makes that keyboard combo, its bought day one. Anywho, I would really like if the Kinesis Freestyle makes an updated version that has a separate numpad. a

I think you are misreading and misunderstanding and generally twisting my words but that’s okay! Hope you find the numpad of your dreams! And agreed, it’d be great if more boards included them.
