Epomaker’s new mechanical keyboard has an ambidextrous number pad.

Dear numpad diehards, here’s a keyboard we can both enjoy. The Epomaker RT98 is a wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a repositionable number pad. You can move it to right or lefthanded positions by unscrewing the keyboard’s base plate. There’s also a detachable retro TV-style LCD. Because why not?

Pricing isn’t available yet, but it should launch soon on Kickstarter.

<em>The LCD connects via magnetic pogo pins, so you can remove it. But an Epomaker rep said it doesn’t have other accessories to put there yet.</em>
<em>To move the number pad you’ll have to unscrew the bottom base plate.</em>
