I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn't seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don't have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards.

but the buttons are big and f u n.

whatre people doing so much with the num pad that everyone has to say "no i don't think i like the lack of num pad" one nobody asked its a cool looking keyboard two what are yall even doing i know most of y'all aren't accounting or getting off your phones at regular intervals.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!

I work in software and use my numpad pretty frequently. I'll use the top row for short sequences of numbers, but if I'm doing math or writing long numbers, i really like the convenience of the numpad. I actually did preorder this keyboard though, so i might just use an external numpad if i like the keyboard enough.

I have one on the way, but I plan to use it at home. At work, I use the num pad for calculations. Frequently. Not an accountant—I’m an attorney that works in conservation (basically real estate but preventing development so there’s nature in the future, instead of fostering development).
