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.

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

I love this meme, but I feel like including TKL in the circle would be a little more fitting. I know I'm a little biased for being a TKL user, but they really aren't that esoteric. Every key is where you expect it. It just doesn't have a numpad.

Number pads are obsolete. If you need to type more than one number at a time, you should be asking yourself "What am I doing wrong such that I have to type all these numbers out?" We live in an age where every document is digital, and number pads are exclusively useful for transposing numbers from paper in bulk.

They're not even a good design, there's no tab, only enter, so they don't even support putting numbers into a spreadsheet super well.

Enter is on the pinky. Use your left hand to press tab.

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

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.

Calling a 96% a mental disorder says more about you, OP than a friggin keyboard.

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.

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

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 😞

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Nah nah nah nah 75% keyboards are actually the correct option. Everything else is either a gimmick or antiquated I WILL die on this hill

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why pay for a keyboard with less keys. You're getting scammed.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Over here loving my 60%. It's all about modifier keys y'all. That 60% actually has all the keys your 130% and more all within reach.

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'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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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
