I'm not even represented. 40 % anyone? nobody?

Ah yes, because all people need to enjoy what I enjoy

The 96% actually looks reasonable

Just for the few games that either have so many controls (eg. GTA V) or so many actions (eg. modded MC), ≥ 100% is mandatory for me.

You'll have to pry my 70% and 75% keyboards from my cold dead hands. Smaller keyboards are much more ergonomic if you need to also regularly use the mouse.

Used full sized all my life, went TKL a month ago and love it, probably never go back to full size. I barely use the numpad on my personal pc anyways.

Fuck all the gatekeeping, choose whichever you like.

34 keys is all you need. But it’s nice to have a few extra.

Do get a full-sized keyboard if you love bumping your mouse into it and misfiring when the game gets intense, though !

NGL, sometimes I want a TKL, but with a hexadecimal numpad (I'm a programmer).

My daily keyboard's a 40%.

I also use a keyboard with a numpad. And I have a standalone numpad for rare occasions.

I'm too new to upload so look up 5 column corne keyboard

I’m a StarCraft player, which means that I do not need the numkeys and absolutely have a mental disorder. Why do I do this to myself? Mama Mia 😞

Sorry I have a TKL with a separate numpad that does not get much use.

Like so many things, it really depends on what you're doing. I've worked a lot of different jobs, and some absolutely require a numpad and some I've never touched it. What people really need is programmable keyboards. If you need a numpad you don't have to even move your hands if you program it right. Same with function keys. It's better for you long term. So I'd actually suggest a smaller but programmable keyboard for everyone, even if they don't use the numpad, plenty of great features on these keyboards.

Why smol keyboard?

I've been trying a 75% tenkeyless but I do miss the number block haha. I really want to switch to a split ergo though, but it's a bit of investment to learn and configure.

Full size gets in the way for no good reason. TKL is the best. The others force you to do too much weird shit just to get common keys.

"He said the truth", but they hated him.

I hate my 60%, you can only use the question mark or arrows at one time. And unfortunately, I use both of them frequently

my favorite keyboard that i can remember was some bullshit off-brand apple thing from the early 2000s when USB accessories were super novel. rescued from a dumpster, not related to other Apple trash that belonged in the dumpster. full size numpad, super satisfying clicky clacky. several different shades of puke in color. took that to work and told IT to take their stuff and go

When I was buying mine full-sized was a huge leap in price from TKL, so I said fuck it, I'll get used to the damn number row!

And so I did. And now even when I have a numpad available I'm still typing with the number row.

...y-yay capitalism????

I need my 60% to stop my mouse bumping into my keyboard. Pains of a slow sens

I’m surprised by the love here for the number pad! I saw mainly benefits for getting a 60 or 65% when I was considering a keyboard kit:

• More space for moving my mouse to the left. I play FPS games with a pretty low sensitivity, and I used to flick my thumb into my keyboard.
• More portable. My keyboard can connect with Bluetooth or usb-c so it’s nice to be able to use with a tablet
• Less switches to lube and install when I assembled it
• No redundant keys, though I had to learn traditionally typing numbers. But now I don’t have to move my hand position to type them.

I do prefer vim for text editing, so I have less use for some of the special keys. But they’re still nice to have for shortcuts or keybinds.

For my own mental health I can only see the full and the tkl.
