I'm sold. Keypad on the left...where have you been all my life.

[Victimesty]

Bloody is not the new kid on the block, they have proven themselves already. They did come with optical switches on the cheap years ago, while it was still super expensive elsewhere. I did buy B314 and still use it every day. I upgraded everything else, but still can´t bring myself to replace that thing.
Tenkey on the left is just another one of their innovations that costs a penny to produce and makes huge difference.

Now that we have laser keyboards, we need mechanical mice.

[Gavinskey]

I dig the number pad being on left-hand side.
More keyboards should do this.

Pew News! The most authentic news content!
Oh. Wait, wrong channel.

[Cimlite]

Keypad on the left, eh? All the benefits of tenkeyless with no loss of functionality... That seems like one of those things every gaming keyboard should be doing.

[icebreakertech]

I love the fact they moved the numpad!

[Ouyk]

A4tech. Had a membrane keyboard since 2003. It had THEE best feel. Now they're making the best mechanical boards. Awesome.

[HinkHall]

Where's Taran's review? I heard fully programmable and I bet he'd love to slam a million uses into those numpad keys.

[samtherat]

Wait, what? You sanded the keyswitches down, and it didn't show anything useful. A bit lost on what the title is meant to indicate.

[rossharper]

The keypad on the left is a godsend for gaming

[mvkevents]

Fun fact: The keyboard was designed with the numpad on the right when a mouse didn't exist. It was a navigation tool. Most full size keyboards just grandfather in an outdated design due to tooling and molding costs. It's not awful but we are just used to it because not many would challenge that convention.

NO Speed test? LTT just advertising the product. Any statistics of the performance against MX switches?

[Workinprogressmaxi]

As an engineer, I love the idea of having the keypad on the left for excel efficiency!

[kipandcop]

Just felt like an ad... All you did was list off what I'd find on the website.
You say they claim you can notice the difference in input lag but you didn't ever test if that's true or if it makes a perceptible difference? Didn't go into software or anything. Felt rushed and honestly uninformative.

Edit: Realised it said it's sponsored by Bloody at the beginning. My bad for not realising. I'm hoping sponsored only meant LTT was sponsored to talk about it but the fact they didn't talk anything subjective may mean that's not the case. Still not fair to call them out as if it's sponsored and they made it clear can't expect less than "ad-like" material

PUTTING THE KEYPAD ON THE OTHER SIDE IS NEXT LEVEL BUT ITS SO SIMPLE WHY ARENT WE FUNDING

[tazevil]

Finally a num pad on the left. So practical when you work with number every day and use your mouse with your right hand !

[TheAkashicTraveller]

I don't care about the optical switch thing but the having the numpad on the left is the greatest keyboard innovation I've ever seen. I must have one.

[verpine]

I've been looking for a keyboard that places the numpad on the left rather than the right. That alone would make me interested in the one keyboard.

High end Paintball guns have been using this tech for a long time. Some in the trigger for a smoother trigger pull and most in the breach to avoid chopping of paintballs. Pretty cool seeing this in a keyboard.
