Hey number pad lovers, this is a keyboard we can finally agree on

The Verge reviews the Epomaker RT98, a mechanical keyboard with a retro look, CRT-style screen, VIA support, and a modular number pad that can attach to either side. The review praises its flexibility and typing feel while noting that, like many enthusiast keyboards, it comes with some quirks and tradeoffs.

The RT98 reflects a broader shift toward customizable peripherals that adapt to users’ workflows rather than forcing a fixed layout. Its movable tenkey design could appeal to both productivity users and compact-keyboard fans, showing how budget mechanical keyboards are borrowing more enthusiast-grade features.
