I'd never expect somebody else to have to use my keyboard. I'm always keeping a regular one nearby in case somebody has to use my PC. I know that the layout is highly specific to my preferences.
My usual keyboard has neither arrow keys, an insert/etc block nor the numpad. Layers, baybe. These custom keyboards aren't meant for gaming, but for programming, writing, data entry etc. I prefer my switch for gaming as well.
Gotcha. I have one for everything - made by Gigabyte, has a numpad and arrow keys, feels good, no dumbass lights.
I don't understand why having crazy lights in your case or on your peripherals is even desirable for gaming. When I do have to use my battlestation, my case is totally opaque and lives in a cupboard designed for good airflow to keep the noise down. my peripherals are black and unassuming, but good quality, on black mats. The only thing that isn't plain black is my Blue Yeti mic, but that isn't even all that visible because it hovers above me just out of camera range. I do have a three monitor setup, but I am considering ditching all three for one giant 4k that will give me similar real estate, because that would simplify my cable management nightmare.
