I'm currently using this keyboard. It's been great. I wish the backlight was RGB or just white instead of red though - not really a big deal.

I was a 10-key or nothing guy. I have an interesting layout at home. I use a wireless Microsoft economic for typing (it has a separate 10key) then for gaming the 10key stays on my desk and I my 10 keyless mechanical keyboard with the wireless 10 key. Also this allows for a left to right layout of keyboard, mouse, then 10 key.

There's a reason for the 75% layout.

For anyone already getting a TKL keyboard, there are wired or wireless mechanical numpads available for $20-$30 (AliEx may have some deals now).

Compared to standard numpads, they often have extra Tab/Space/Backspace keys which can be helpful at times. Some are also hot-swappable and reprogrammable, like the Leobog K21 I'm using now.

I have this keyboard with red swtiches and it is fantastic if you want the full power of QMK. For $40 you can get the RGB version that also has hot swap switch sockets. Both are incredible deals for the price.
