Snagged a hybrid role in commercial lending and my old Das Keyboard I was using at home had some broken switches (including the numpad + which I need frequently). Used some of my cashed out vacation time from leaving my old job to make the upgrade.

Keychron Q5 Pro

Gateron Milky Yellow Pro Switches

KBDiy GMK Shoko Clones (going to upgrade when the time is right but needed something for now) - Been eyeing some Osume Dusks but they’re out of stock.

Bell’s Oberon Eclipse beer which oddly ended up matching the caps that came today.
I’m a big fan of the Keychron K series keyboards. Nobody else in the business is putting that kind of build quality into a ~$100 keyboard.
Its the compact 1800 layout + knob that I want. Theres no other boards like it
It’s clearly a step down, but I was hunting on Amazon and found an open-box RK96 for my daughter for under $50. Some AliExpress Pokemon XDAs will be going into it. I don’t think she actually uses the numpad much, but the 2u “plus” and “enter” keys have Sylveon on them, so whatchagonna do?
Keychron K17 is a really nice compromise and very compact for what you get. It isn’t every key, but really close. I just set mine up and remapped the pause, end, scroll lock, etc to function enabled keys. Works great!
