I really wish they wouldn't cut the numpad from so many mechanical boards. Theres tons I like the look off but my job is very numbers based so I need that numpad.

TKL keyboards are a lot more ergonomic. Getting a separate mechanical numpad and putting it on the left side of the board also boosts productivity considerably
Try putting the numpad on a layer underneath the homerow (456 being SDF) and the layer key being something easy to reach that has no business being on the base layer (I'm looking at you, Capslock). It's a game changer for me. Not having to move my left hand from home row and being able to input numbers while using the mouse
Me reading the headline: "🙄 Who isn't making a mechanical keyboard these days..."
Me after looking at the pictures: "I...might want that..."
