Knight Plus Numpad Hardware Revisions
The X-Bows Knight Plus has undergone a numpad layout revision.
Earlier versions: The magnetic numpad featured 22 keys.
2026 version: The magnetic numpad features 21 keys, a change designed to improve compatibility with standard numpad keycap sets.
The current Knight Plus keyboard consists of an 86-key main keyboard and a 21-key detachable magnetic numpad.
Owners of earlier Knight Plus models should verify their numpad version when purchasing replacement PCBs, keycaps, or other numpad-specific components.
If you are uncertain which version you have, please contact X-Bows Support for help identifying your hardware and selecting compatible replacement parts.
