    If you like numpads and don’t mind the slight tweaks from a 96% layout, the Keychron K17 Pro actually checks all your boxes (though QMK reprogramming usually only works on wired mode, once it’s sent to the board it should be persistent).

    Don’t know why they haven’t plopped a knob down on one of their low profile TKL’s, actually. Keychron LOOOOVES new SKU’s.

      I didn’t mention it in the description, but I think in my head I was definitely imagining a TKL form factor. Thinking about it though, I probably wouldn’t mind the extra width too much. I think I could manage just fine with it, and the numberpad would be better than the one that’s on my laptop currently (it’s got a single-width zero key instead of double width that I’m used to…)

      Yeah, I definitely found their website to be a bit overwhelming. Lol.

      Thanks for finding that one for me, it’s going on the list for when I’m ready to pull the trigger.
