Keyboard similar to the CM Quickfire TK? (TKL size + numpad)

Senzelian

The Quickfire TK is the best keyboard ever made,聽(at least for me) simply because it includes a numpad in the size of a TKL keyboard.

Mine now died and I thought I was super lucky to find a new one on eBay for 60 bucks, just to find out that it is a US QUERTY layout, even tho it was advertised as the German QUERTZ layout.

Either way, these keyboards are incredibly rare and basically impossible to find nowadays.

Does anyone know of a similar keyboard?

Here's a picture:

The closest size to that would be boards that follow the Cherry G80-1800 layout like the Leopold FC980M

Sadly they don't make it anymore, but the Coolermaster Masterkeys (Pro) M was a sort of spiritual successor to the QuickFire TK line of keyboards.

But that might give one more model to look for online.

Other than that, you could look for different 1800 and 96% layout keyboards, but those are unfortunately among the more niche form-factors, with often higher pricing than the alternatives.
