I needed something for work so I decided to build a keyboard. I wanted it to be quiet and also wanted a number pad, so I went with the wireless Keychron K4 with Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Box switches. The keycaps are a set I got on Amazon that are "XVX" profile they are a mix between XDA and Cherry profile for a short wide key with an ergonomic bend to them and I know of love them.

96 key layout and the 1800 layout are where it’s at for me. Nice board.

Thanks! They are great for a work board for me, because I need/want the extra keys. For my every day browsing and gaming, however, I love me a good 65%.

What do you do for work?

I got a TKL for work for software dev and wish I had the numpad now.

I am currently working online sales, so a lot of typing between email and chat. I routinely have to enter in number for prices and other things and I just know a Numpad better than the top row of numbers.
