This is very quickly becoming a very expensive hobby...

Bottom is my first, a GMMK Pro with Gateron ink black V2 switches. And just yesterday I received the Keychron Q5 Pro with Keychron's own banana switches that I'll be using at work

I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but at the moment I don't see the big advantage to anything smaller than a 75%. It makes sense to reduce the length of a board to make more mouse space, but reducing the height (or depth I guess?) doesn't seem as important and removes some functionality. Sure, it looks nice and compact, but form follows function

The main reason I prefer the 65 over 75 is not having to lift my hand to hit the Fn keys. Looks do play a part though as well.
