Look, I’m not an accountant, I don’t need a numpad.

I worked retail in the late 90s-00s, and whenever I have to type in a string of digits longer than three I regret my tkl.
My cat, however, enjoys the extra real estate on the desk.
Ah yes, because all people need to enjoy what I enjoy
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.
The 96% actually looks reasonable
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.
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.
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 😞
My daily keyboard's a 40%.
I also use a keyboard with a numpad. And I have a standalone numpad for rare occasions.
Sorry I have a TKL with a separate numpad that does not get much use.
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 !
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.
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.
Why smol keyboard?
More space on the desk for 143 empty cans of monster.
Because when i was a consultant i had to bring my laptop to clients. A big keyboard didn't dit in my bag, but a TKL was still preferable to the laptop keyboard.
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????
"He said the truth", but they hated him.
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
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.
I hate my 60%, you can only use the question mark or arrows at one time. And unfortunately, I use both of them frequently
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.
For my own mental health I can only see the full and the tkl.
