It's bonus time. Suggestions for a low-mid priced full-size, 98%, or 96%? (sh.itjust.works)

Also very interested to try an ergo.

Current roster includes Keychron Q6 Max, Keychron Q13 max Alice , Keychron Q3 pro SE, RK gaming S98, 8bitDo C64 Edition with matching numpad, Monsgeek M2, and that’s all I can think of right now. I think I’m missing one.

What the hell is a 98% keyboard lol? Like just missing a single key?

    The number is not precise, but yeah kinda. Usually they’re missing about 4-6 keys, and you’ll also hear “96%” thrown around. There’s a subset of them called the “1800” style after a board from the late 80s that pioneered the idea.

    What they all share is retaining the numpad and almost all the other keys, but resizing and shuffling them around a bit so they fit in a narrower width, originally a drawer in a server rack.
