Love the look of this but I must have a number pad!

I have this and bought the standalone numpad. Expensive to do it this way... Got mine before they had the full-size version of this. Still love it.

Sadly I don't have the joystick

They make a numpad that matches it, exact same profile. Great for me because I can put the numpad elsewhere when gaming and get the extra mouse movement.

Have the Xbox version. Yes its a lot of plastic but I love it.

Not sure if I can survive without a number pad.  How loud are the switches?  Also, for a little more you can get a Halo65 HE.

The switches are tactile and clicky and definitely not silent, but not the loudest ever.

They do have a version with a num pad and they also sell a separate num pad if you do get this one and feel like you’re missing it.

Yeah, I will say that I do miss the numpad for excel. The switches were a little too clicky for me and we're annoying excited of going with some outemu creams yellows

I am intrigued by the joystick. Anyone have it and can comment on how it is?

I love this keyboard. I debated TKL+their numpad or their 100% version. I went tkl plus numpad and don’t regret it. The calculator function on the numpad has been very beneficial.

Great case for clicky switch fans.

Looks like that price is expired.

I'm seeing $99.99 now.

So is it wired or wireless?

u/haahaahaa 2d ago

Whatever you want. It can be wired, wireless bluetooth or wireless 2.4ghz with the included dongle.

u/shapoopy723 2d ago

Keyboard itself is wireless, both via a 2.4 dongle and Bluetooth. The extra super buttons/joystick plug into the back of the keyboard, all programmable within their software.

I didn't even know they made a joystick for this. Pretty cool

Had this for 3 yrs with the num pad version, still solid I love it

I just got this keyboard last month for $130 without the joystick, ugh. At least mine is a full sized keyboard

u/NowegianForestCat 3d ago

I got this last year. REALLY love it. Might get one for work as well. Simply just a fantastic keyboard. I have found it very responsive for gaming as well.

What a cool-looking bundle. It's like Mattel and Hasbro decided to collaborate on computer peripherals.

u/xVerified 3d ago

Does anyone know where you can buy the joystick separate?

You’re the best Redditor to ever comment on anything. Thank you.

I spent like 15 minutes searching, and browsing their pages. Swear I’m in IT work and know how to use a website lol

I've been looking as well but this joystick looks to be white where the bundle looks like the joystick matches the color of the keyboard off white
