I know a vocal group of people who swear by the number pad on their keyboard. And yet, for years I haven\u2019t cared about using one \u2014 until I put my hands on the Epomaker RT98<\/a>. It\u2019s a mechanical keyboard with a charming retro aesthetic, a fun CRT-like screen, VIA<\/a> compatibility, a nice typing feel, and most importantly, a modular number pad that can be moved to either side. It\u2019s a clever compromise in a budget friendly-ish board, allowing you to further customize your setup without losing the functionality of the coveted \u201ctenkey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But like many mechanical keyboards out there, it\u2019s got some unique quirks and tradeoffs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
