I'm looking for a keyboard with Cherry Silvers or like with a layout that has the main part with a numpad, Like without the middle part with the arrow keys. I'm not sure what that layout is called, like a Quick Fire TK.
I want to use it for high precision gaming, as corny as that sounds i would prefer if it has a 1000hz polling rate with little to no debounce.
I've checked and i haven't really found any specifically what i want and i can't find pretty much anything on the debounce timings on any keyboard. i would even pay for a custom if it meant i could guarantee low latency.
Thanks ;)

Something similar to a Redscarf III or TX-CP (that has arrows) , or maybe the welfare 96 key keyboards?

I'm not sure if there's a production keyboard (or even custom) that's exactly what you're looking for.
Your best bet is probably to buy a CM Masterkeys Pro M, a bag of MX Speed Silvers, desolder the stock switches, and solder in the silvers.
The middle part you're referring to is called the nav cluster btw.

Hi, Looking for a pretty specific keyboard, I'm Dudesnail!

Sadly you just missed the group buy for this sucker: https://mehkee.com/products/96kee?variant=47768389839 (https://mehkee.com/products/96kee?variant=47768389839).
Kavik's suggestion to desolder the CM Masterkeys Pro M is a good one, but desoldering can be tricky if you're not experienced with it. Soldering is much easier. Sometimes people will sell unbuilt kits for the Welfare96 or similar on /r/mechmarket, or you could try posting there that you want one. Good luck! If you don't want to do any soldering or assembly, there are people offering that as a service who post periodically on /r/mechmarket.
