Again, not my monkeys. I'd say ask the people who follow gimmick boards. I follow mecha, but I'm in enough servers to know there are a ton of he options and even in he space wooting is a joke

R/keyboards is a meme
It's kids who don't know better and will ban you for not getting what they said to get
It's the tip of the ice berg in knowledge
They unironically recommend keychrons as the best keyboards and spam rec newbies who won't lube switches cherry switches
They also view lubing switches as a bad thing that is unnecessary and evil
It's like aggressively bad info

i tried finding something for a year now and im literally in contact with multiple manufacturers
epomaker and mchose for example are literally in contact with german retailers in order to get their keyboards in iso de layout in shops and im the middle man.
i have been through a lot of things and im that convinced i give anyone 100€ if u find me something better
feel free to tag me with a link where i can order something that is cheaper and beter than the wooting for my use case
until then, im out
also i'd be glad to buy from anyone besides wooting.
that company can eat my ass
im returing the one i bought and went back to my old one already

Looking for a numpad, ideally I'd get it from the same company as the 80% I'm planning on getting so they match, but as far as I've been able to tell the only two companies I've seen with both are Keychron and 8BitDo.
Does anyone know of other companies to consider?
full plover
eh I mean there's like a gazillion num-pads or macro-pads, personal preference is something with QMK and a few knobs for volume or scrubbing type stuff, but so long as has switches/keycaps you can tolerate and whatever features you want there are lots of options though
The list for QMK keyboards is too long and github just cuts it off at a 1000 :), lots of those are companies with sub-folders for actual products:
https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards
Granted some are more or less "complete" or "DIY/projects" but even if just searching for numpad or macropads there's a lot of em out there just depends on what you want from it and cost etc.
spare iris
I'm looking for the "standard" layout like that section on a full keyboard since I'll mainly be using it as a numpad, and any macros I use would be secondary. It's for work, and given my job I don't think I'd have any use for more than 1 knob (but even then 90% of the time I can change the volume for teams/zoom meetings fine enough via function keys)
full plover
I'd just look up 19-key or 22-key QMK/VIA compatible options and then see which one you like in terms of switches or ability to swap em and/or aesthetics and wired/wireless etc.

fiery sail
from my experience with wooting i can only recommend to stay away from that brand.
currently the only question is if the issue can be solved with just the consumer protection agency or if im legit going to court over a damn keyboard
if everything goes right you have an overpriced keyboard (which almost all HE keyboards are, besides some very hceap ones that also make a LOT of compromises
if not, they dont cover refund shipping costs and even outright lie to trick you into making the wrong decision and then later claim it was just a misunderstanding.
my keyboard for example was listed as in stock, got delayed by almost 2 months, they offered me a gift card to make up for it and then just said it was a misunderstanding and they didnt offer me a gift card despite the conversation being in emails and therefor very easy to proof.

oh and for the switches, do you think those keyboard switch tester packs are good?
I tried a mechanical keyboard one time and I hated it, it was WAY too loud
I heard blue switches are loud like that and I should try other ones
ionic briar
Not really. You get to try out 1 switch with your finger, on a rig just to hold them together. It is not indicative of your whole 10 fingers typing, or how it will sound on your particular keyboard base with your particular keycap on your particular desk
I guess it's more to let you know in comparisons to the other included switch, how it stacks up in terms of feel
ionic briar
I heard blue switches are loud like that and I should try other ones
I will say that, unless you get switches that are advertised as "silent", the 3 main type of switches will sound louder than say your laptop keyboard, or the cheap keyboard that comes for free from dell for their optiplex for example

Worried about the VA panel
VA in 2025 isnt VA in 2010 anymore.
at least when it comes to ghosting and response time.
as a certain youtube channel out there, VA has some absolute stinkers still, but so does IPS
a decent VA vs a decent IPS will have better contrast for the VA giving you a better picture, as long as you are not viewing drastically from the side, e.g. a TV in the living room when you are watchign with 4 ppl.
but in general, as long as you are in fornt of the monitor you shouldnt have issues.
im currently on the KTC M27T20S and there is 0 ghosting and i have to be ~30cm next to the monitor at 1m distance to get this glow that u get when you are off angle. with my IPS thats about 50-60cm at the same disctance, so its not a miracle solution (granted my IPS is lower quality, but dont expect drastically different results)
since your monitor has a slight curve to it, there shouldnt be issues, just dont expect the HDR to be usable, sicne its pure software HDR but since it doesnt have local dimming or OLED, it cant actually put out an HDR image and it will just look like standard SDR with a filter that struggles with very dark and very bright scnes/colours
definitely watch a review or go to RTINGS for real world response times and colour calibration

I gave up on HDR on anything that isnt mini LED or oled, so not really worried about that

what budget do you have
No idea yet
Probably 100 combined for both the board & mouse

I already chose a mouse though so 38 if we're saying 60
Which means this keyboard is just about within budget
I quite like it eitherway though, looks decent

you could maybe find an aula f75/f87 or ak820 pro for under that on aliexpress
