No you don't
Long live the numpad!
Calling a 96% a mental disorder says more about you, OP than a friggin keyboard.
The 96% actually looks reasonable
I've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.
With the Everest Max you can choose on which side you dock your numpad: https://mountain.gg/keyboards/everest-max/
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 have a full-sized and a 96%. I don't know how people live without a numpad. Even my laptop has a numpad. I don't do excel shit. But at work I have to enter alot of phone and CC numbers. At home I use the numpad for rating photos when sorting and importing them.
I use the number pad for various keybinds in games where there are too many things to control with the keys I regularly use.
"He said the truth", but they hated him.
I’m gonna catch some heat…. But I gotta speak my truth - this is all I need. I game, I program, I have 2 function keys that change the layout and provide access to any keys not physically present.
what brand is this? :O asking for a friend
Keychron. Here’s a link to this one: https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k9-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40471030431833
You do you man. We all got different hands and preferences and physical dimensions, as well as different usable desk space. It's silly to draw lines in the sand about peripherals. Personally, I like my giant gaming keyboard with macro keys and whatnot. I program the extra keys to do things as needed. But I wouldn't force that on anyone who wants a smaller form factor. Hell now we can even get picky on how much actuation force, key travel, and sound of key press. A keyboard for every preference!
I kind of wish Duolingo would create a trainer that helps you practice shortcuts and hot keys. They never seem to stick in my brain asides from copy/paste, new tab, change focus.
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.
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.
peep the horror
Ah yes, the klingon keyboard. Goes on the armrests of the captains chair.
Nice Mizu
This is heaven
If I could I would have two tiers and pedals like an organ master
No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?
laughs in K95
sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.
i have a 65% although honestly i'd rather it be a 75% (which i meant to buy but didn't look closely enough at the keyboard), anyway it's not that bad
i also with the damn apostrophe key wasnt the same as the esc key + fn
65% is too cramped. Buttons need double functions and the FN key works overtime.
75% or TKL is the way.
I use a Lily58 for work, and it's excellent. Obviously mine looks much different than the ones on this product page, but it's this layout.
Me playing modded Minecraft:
What was the disable jetpack button again?
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.
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 dropped my full sized keychron a while back and the pcb got screwed up at the usb c port, so I'm stuck on a 60%. It's nice to have the extra desk space, but I'd be completely lost if I didn't have a macropad. Even still, it's kind of a pain in the ass sometimes. Eventually I'll be not-broke enough to justify getting a new pcb, hopefully, but I'm not even sure how to order just a pcb from them. Giant pain in the ass.
I do like my little Newman board, though. It has some nice linears that I lubed up and I've got a tape mod on it. I miss qmk but it's better than a membrane at least.
Originally I picked it up to use with my phone so I could get work done on the road without slowing my typing speed to a crawl and grappling with autocorrect. Made a decent backup!
