The easiest solution for a keyboard for both gaming and productivity is to go for a full-sized keyboard with all the buttons you’d need to accomplish both activities. But what if you’ve ventured down the TKL (tenkeyless) or 60/65% keyboard route?
Well, the answer is, there are options. My daily driver is an Everest Mountain 60 - a 60% keyboard that I also purchased a separate number pad for. This means I can play games, have plenty of space on my desk, and when it comes time to crunch spreadsheets, I can just whip out the number pad and increase my productivity. Having a detachable number pad also means I can place it on the left of my keyboard (I’m right-handed) and use my mouse and numpad simultaneously.
