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 😞

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.

I was a cashier, then a bookkeeper during the time when both heavily used the "10-key" and got really fast at touch typing numbers. Not as fast now, but I would be absolutely lost without it for spreadsheets, calculations, etc. I wouldn't even consider a keyboard without one!

The fuck do you people need the num pad on your daily driver? Are you all deviant accountants or retro computer enthusiasts typing in code from magazines?

Entering IP addresses for work (mostly network info for printers tbh), and a decent amount of games use it for flight.

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.

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

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

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.

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

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

My daily keyboard's a 40%.

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

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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.

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.

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