Title: Chilkey teases ND104 wireless mechanical keyboard — full-size productivity powerhouse with a num pad and built-in calculator
Post by: Redaktion on September 02, 2025, 23:48:53
The Chilkey ND104 has officially been confirmed by the keyboard maker. It will likely feature much of the same innovations that made the ND75 special, like wireless connectivity and a quick-release system for disassembly, although the ND104 will feature a full size layout with a num pad that doubles as a built-in calculator.

Make it without The numeric keypad.

A keyboard without it is actually "full size" because everything on the numeric keypad is unnecessary and completely redundant.

A numeric keypad is best treated like a mouse or trackpad. An accessory purchased if and when you need it.

Preaching to the choir. I currently daily drive a 65% ortho board, but I previously used a 40% layout. Efficiency!

Discard what the folks below are saying. Actual full size with complete Numpads are highly desired right now. Personally I'd prefer to also see one of these include the F13-F24 row as well. True full size keyboards are sorely under represented and highly in demand!
