Super cool keyboard at one of its lowest prices yet (not atl, but close if not including the cashback deal at Woolies Market). I'm still waiting for the C64 version at something close to this price, so I haven't bit the bullet yet, but this would have tempted me if I didn't already have too many keyboards. It looks like the deal is still on for the numpad as well

  I’d be on it if it had a numpad…

    I know it's not the same, but you can get the add-on numpad here

      I can't not have a full keyboard for productivity; the keyboard shortcuts are too burned into memory, and then for gaming I need more mouse pad space.

      So, I've gone from a combo of 80% (TKL) and seperate numpad, to a 96% with numpad, and then back to a 100% for productivity and I have 75% on order for when I'm gaming.

  Are mechanical keyboards really that much better?

    Not necessarily better, but many people find them more enjoyable. Others find them less enjoyable. If you're happy with your current keyboard, I don't see any reason to change it.

    I use my $20 Kogan one and really happy with it. Definitely will bite the bullet and buy one of these 8bitdo retro ones at some point. No urgency but it'll be a tax deduction for work and aesthetically make my WFH office a touch nicer. Main use case for me will be to mute and unmute on MS Teams with the big buttons

    Generally, I feel like non-mechanical keyboards can be hit or miss with their tactile feedback whereas proper mechanicals tend to have a consistent feel across the board. This allows buying on features without having to sacrifice the experience of typing.

    The n key rollover feature is important for gamers.

    Aside from that, it can be up to the person. I personally prefer scissor switch. Even low profiles mechanics feels too high and have too much travel for me.

    I'll suggest to get a switch sampler. Starting with blue almost ruined mechs for me

  Have one for nearly 3 months. Absolutely love it. I use it as my 'portable' keyboard when I need to work on the road. Compare with my Razer Pro type which is reserved for WFH, it is louder and there is no numpad but I don't have any issue with that

  Love mine, after adding my fav switches. The extra buttons are not useful for me but keyboard build is great
