spotter-
How do you find no numpad at that size? Did you ever use one much before you got that? I feel I'd use one still but they're such chonkers and if I got a TKL the size isn't that much of a stretch. Particularly if there's a gap between numbers and function keys to guide my fingers a bit (there's no gap on the apple one I use hence me preferring to numpad it for banking stuff as I find I make fewer errors).
CYOA
Ok, new computer needs a new keyboard.
I'm being brave and switching to Windows from Mac.
I use the numpad quite a bit.
I play PUBG a fair bit.
I think I'd like speed silver switches but not essential.
I use DaVinci Resolve daily.
I don't really want to get their mechanical keyboard: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/davinci-resolve-editor-keyboard
(though I might get their speed editor:)

I currently use a Mac whatever in space grey with numpad.
I'm looking at dropping numpad and going TKL (or potentially picking up a Tenkey as well) or something like an 1800 compact.
What brands should I be looking at?
OTP, I'm tempted by wireless but suspect anything short of Logitech lightspeed stuff won't be up to much when it comes to games and they look a bit... buttony.. for my tastes. The wired Pro X seems better but still a bit RGB.
Custom, no idea where to start. Tried WASD and looked at ducky/keychron. Others?
