Hi guys, any recommendations for 96 keys keyboard with arrow keys and numpad together?

If your budget is near infinity, the Duck lightsaver. If it is ~200 ZZ96/RS96/AMJ96. If ~100 there is a kit on aliexpress.

Always state your budget when asking about a keyboard recommendation.
And never say you don't have a budget.

Your affordable options are the Leopold FC960M, the ZZ96, and the Red Scarf III. The Leopold has a plastic case, the ZZ96 is full aluminum and the Red Scarf is aluminum top wth acrylic bottom. Leopold is the most affordable and the ZZ96 is the most expensive.

The Lightsaver V2 would be out of your budget and goes anywhere between 3-400.

Considering the Lightsaver V3 will be out for roughly $400 quite soon, that is ludicrous.

After Duck Viper/Eagle GB is done I'm guessing (just had payment deadline). Have a few months to save up some moolah.

It was a couple weeks after last Blackbird got delivered that the Eagle/Viper GB started. Blackbird GB started in July/June (?) And ended in November but was a month or so behind I believe.
