Most developers do not need a numpad. Data engineers, finance-adjacent developers and anyone who lives in spreadsheets absolutely do. The Q6 is a full-size board built like a tank, with a gasket mount that gives it a soft, deep typing feel.

It runs QMK firmware, so you can remap every key and build macros without any vendor software.
