Those giant connectors can sometimes be useful. Unfortunately not all boards have a USB-C connector. Especially some older custom boards might have a Mini-USB or Micro-USB connector instead. Having there be an extra connector in the cable close to the device means that one can just change the device end of the USB cable from e.g. USB-C to Mini-USB instead of having to run a whole new USB cable when swapping boards. However, most of the time they are just used for looks.

TKL boards usually have Home, Page Up/Down, End, Insert, Delete, Prt Scrn, Scroll Lock, and Pause, but no number pad. So saying this is a "TKL.. Kind of" (6:27) or saying it's "between 60% or TKL" (14:10) really isn't accurate. It's 60%+num pad, none of the extra keys that you would find on a TKL, plus keys that literally go against the definition of TKL.

I'm liking this. I just built a GMMK Pro (I know, everyone has one..) with Bobas, TX Stabs, lubed and filmed, foam and all that good stuff. I really enjoy it. It's nice to see you guys getting deeper into the keyboard hobby.

Numpad not having a usb plug/port at the top isn't an issue since you can most like get a female usb c to type a or type c male cable to connect it to your pc or reroute to one of the usb c ports on top of the keyboard. Pretty sure you can just use alternate third party cables too.

Just purchased a separate numpad for using excel at my job where we have notebooks, if I get used to it, probably going for tenkeyless on my next keyboard at home to, the only reason I still rock full sized is that heavy number input without numpad is counter productive, having a distance separate pad I can put away after hours seems a good idea, let's see if it pays out

Get a usb-c extension cable for mounting the numpad elsewhere. They should include that tho

You could connect the numpad like you wanted with a usb-c extender cable (male and female connector).

I would NOT recommend washing this in the dishwasher, like you can many other keyboards; solely because of those foam inserts... would take WEEKS to dry, unless you put them in a well heated and ventilated area, and THEN probably still a full week to dry.

About putting the numpad on a different location. It does allow an extension cable to go in between. The Mountain Everest Max has this, and I assume the 60% version would as well.

This is why I love my Quickfire TK. I have the advantage of the TKL but I still technically have every single key with a full numpad.

@DarkSwordsman2 жыл бұрын
@@kelvinyu6741 Yep. Though honestly, assuming the manufacturing quality is the same since I think they still sell it, I would still recommend getting the Quickfire TK. They sell it in some variations IIRC. I've had mine for 8 years. The only problems I had were my right shift led not working sometimes (though I think it was dust; it works consistently now), and the solder for one of wires to the mini usb port was loose, so I just re-soldered it. In all this time, the keys still click with no issues and the paint is as good as the day I got it.
@dankdopths69552 жыл бұрын
They do have a cable that comes separate for the numpad. It connects to the keyboard and you can move the numpad elsewhere. But that's with the Everest Core that I'm using. I dunno how they're doing the 60.

.. the three input are nice, but I think doing a usb input on a slider track with a locking mechanism would be much cooler and precise, imho.

You can definitely have the numpad separately. Mountain include an extension cable in the box. You just hook the usb c's together.
