He is looking for a replacement but is really addicted to the macro keys on the left. Anyone have a non Keychron rec? (I am already sending him all the Keychron keebs that offer similar layouts)

Thanks/Cheers!

Heya, are there any other requirements besides the Macros, Layout and no Keychron? How much does he want to spend? Material? And I guess more important, similar style or open for something else? Personally, I haven't had a look at keyboards of this size and style at all, as gaming isn't my priority or the vibe I'm after -- which is probably the case with most people on here (based on posts in this community). Maybe easier to recommend anything with a bit more info... Just skimming over some vendors, full size with makros are rather rare and kits are kinda pricy? TKL or something along those lines would probably be easier to find w/macros (I assume). I really fell in love with the Lemokey L3 for how it looks, which has Macros but its a gaming sub-brand of Keychron(!) and smaller Layout, so this won't be a good recommendation at all. Hope someone else can help in this case and that your co-worker will find one he likes!

He is familiar with mostly full sized, but I sent a few alternates like Alice. Materials/cost will be evaluated after his other priorities.

I dont think he would be happy with anything less than a TKL. Knowing the kind of work a 10keys are probably a requirement but I did send him some split num pads.
