The One to recommend your colleagues 

I need more than a few too 😂

Especially when Fn keys are important for work

Except no one makes a matching set thats wireless

@@RealHankShill zoom?

Hmm, I don't think it's fair to say being "taken advantage of". There's different aesthetics, uses and preferences. It's functional to just put the numpad, but you won't get the continuity nor the same looks in a single piece of machined metal. To each his own. I can see why it works for you.

@@benfromsg It is delusion to believe $300 is justified for the keyboard case and PCB which, at this price point, doesn't appear to be QMK/VIA compatible per their website. Customers are absolutely being taken advantage of. Pile on the cost of switches and keycaps if you choose not to use the "artisan" ones they throw in for free and you are crossing into the $400 area after tax. Taken advantage of.

Fair point!

Interesting... is the 0 on the right really bothersome for people? I never thought about that

You are gonna love it!

GUYS! I FOUND A CLICKY FAN! Just kidding heh. I'll certainly give those silent switches you mentioned a try if I come across them. I haven't tried any good ones, albeit only about 3 or so thus far.

I'm not a SUPER proficient excel user, nor do I use excel daily. And I'm sure there are shortcuts that I can probably use to get around, but for me, a few actions like toggling sheets, and between windows to copy and retrieve data, require me to use mouse quite abit to get the pointer/cell exactly where I need it. Besides excel though, I use Fusion360 almost every other day and it is much easier to start working on a feature like extrude with my left hand, and then move the same left hand to the numpad for keying in dimensions. My right hand remains on the mouse for any reorientations/selections.

The magic is in the JWK semi silents!

Yeah I don't think I'll meet a colleague down to spend over $50 on a keyboard that might not even be wireless and weights the same as a newborn baby. I think he means imaginary colleagues.

I would say to look into r/mm or discord channels for secondhand used ones. You can find keyboards there for less than their groupbuy prices.

@@el10leo you do you man, you do you.

@@benfromsg I'm just being realistic man, I don't know which part of the world you live in, where people not extremely into "the hobby" of custom keyboards would think it's even remotely reasonable to spend that kind of money on a keyboard. And tbh I think we like to call this "hobby" when in reality it's just good old frivolous consumerism, but that's a different discussion entirely. In less words: the title of the video is completely deluded but you sure baited interactions so it works.

Trust me, I’m considered realistic as a mechanical keyboard-only reviewer and content reviewer. I suggest you watch my previous video on the Aella where I regretted spending 500 bucks on a piece of aluminum block. Point is. Everyone has a different measuring stick in terms of how they gauge functionality, acoustics and frills. I love functionality. But I also enjoy the premium feel of aluminum, copper and heft to my tool, as opposed to plastic ones. Do I value wireless features? Yep. But do they exist in a decent looking keyboard? Not really. Which is why I sold off the Magnet65 which has wireless functionality but I didn’t like how it looked. What I’m trying to get across sincerely is you can have a preference and also how you spend your money. But to call someone else’s way of spending on things they like or value more as simply frivolous is just shallow. Now do I think there are people who just spend on frivolous items? I sure do, but it’s not for me to get on my high horse to say they are wrong. Hence my reply of “you do you”.

I plead the fifth. lol.

Thanks for the compliments!

It depends on your use case. I don't particularly need the F row keys daily to CAD out our machining parts and neither do my colleagues. I can see excelsheet and coders using the F row but there's also the Wind X 98 for that. And I'm pretty sure you haven't seen worse choices in this keyboard hobby than the WindX here for functionality, otherwise you won't be saying such things.

So it’s better to have a lefty numpad on the left? I do agree not nearly enough design thought is put into the keyboard layout
