Y'all got any more of those function keys?

Actually, I won't even buy a keyboard that doesn't have a print screen or sys req key, and yes I regularly use them. I'd love to see a modern remake of the old model M Battleships. Keep the ergonomics of today, but give me more keys!

Whoah!

I once bought a keyboard without function keys or the keys after the enter, on the right side... num keys?

BIG mistake, even though it was mechanical

I love my Ortho 40 (Planck ez)

I get pissed off if my keyboard doesn't have a numpad. This is just madness

I thought that too when I got my mechanical keyboard. Now I'm an old fart, ergonomics start to matter and I constantly curse myself because the distance between the wasd keys and my mouse is too wide to game comfortably for prolonged periods because of the numpad.

As a happy corne user, cheers!

This is bait to separate you from your beloved F keys
