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.
My daily keyboard’s a 40%.
I also use a keyboard with a numpad. And I have a standalone numpad for rare occasions.
I don’t need the numpad. But no function keys? That’s insane.
They just become like laptops with a Fn+# key. It’s not like they are ‘gone’. Same thing with home/end/etc.
I’m not a fan of that, personally.
What about mine
There is no saving you!
ive made that mistake in the past and eventually came to realise that its pretty good if you need a single dongle for mouse and keyboard when playing around with many old pcs and SBCs. so, this expensive mistake has at least some use whilst my two sofle handle the rest
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 !
Upvoted… But I am stuck at 36/miryoku and can’t go less.
This is why I wish “southpaw” keyboards would become more mainstream. If you’re right-handed, having the numpad on the left makes way more sense ergonomically.
My old keyboard was a cheap $30 membrane one, and it was a painted metal plate with a plastic shell on the back for the internals. The edge of it was rounded, but it was still just a single edge, maybe 5mm thick, so I used to give myself bruises trying to flick in FPS games. They were literally just a vertical line on my thumb.
Joke’s on you, I use a trackball.

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.
What is a greater than 100% keyboard?
Me playing modded Minecraft:
What was the disable jetpack button again?
Keeb goes hard ngl
What is that beautiful monstrosity?
That’s a hyper7. If youve got a pathological need for a billion keys and £700 to drop you can’t go far wrong. Although you may have to spend a little more to reinforce your desk and remove a wall to get it in your house lol
I see a distinct lack of F13-F15, assuming 1.12.2 or 1.7.10 (1.13 and newer added F16-F25)
My copy of Keyboard Maestro sent off fireworks when it saw those macro rows
That would be a nice post on !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev
Man, I could have all of that and still be like “Shit where do I put Building Gadget Mode Switch???”
It so pretty doe
You find it and the key is still shared with three other keybinds
Me unbinding the mysterious functions that share the key “I’ll worry about that once I know what that even means”

I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not.

sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.
This post is looking for a war 🤣
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.
A keyboard without a numpad is like a cock without a foreskin.
Stupid as fuck, but some people don’t know any better
That analogy is a work of art. So casually out of pocket
On my desktop, I need that num pad.
On the go, I loathe my laptop keyboard and mouse, and bring a 60% and a mouse. Easy to fit in the bag for travel if I’m setting up shop somewhere for a few days or more. Also a dock so I can hook it up to the hotel TV or conf room display easily if they are behind the times.
part of it is that on 75% the numpad is optional, and it gives you more desk space for other things
So you can pull the skin to reveal your numpad?
Meanwhile on my desk
In love with those media keys.
That’s how they should always be: Deidcated. If I have to hit Fn+something for Play/Pause it might as well not existYes, exactly, layers are for the main keys, not function keys.
I too have a full-size Corsair! I got the K100 Air about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it.
Nooo, where the extra 18 macro keys?? :D
But more importantly – tf is this?
TIL, and tho it’s not for me (I’m not into flats at all) I def want to try the actuation feel.
Yeah, I moved from an old laptop to this. I love the low profile feel in general, and these Cherry switches take that up to 11. They are very smooth and still make a sound, but they aren’t super loud. Then the RGB lighting shines through the numbers/letters themselves, which looks very nice.
This is my first “good” keyboard, so I’m still working on what to use the G keys for. :)
Gg!
Ah! Thanks for sharing those visuals!
Yeah, over 60cN, non-linear, cherry branded, and flatttt (and with fragile keycaps, also that spring can spring out in event of a fall it seems).
With that kind of force and short travel there is no way I wouldn’t constantly bottom-out.
Yes, I have this one with the ridiculous logo they only used for a few months. Some of the switches are starting to feel a bit worn though, and I don’t think Corsair switches are swappable.
Omg, I remember that, but I have the normal logo (on the older non-RGB white led version).
Switches arent hot swappable (but it’s def not a hard job to replaced then, but a bit time consuming).
Tho maybe you just need a bit of lube (I doubt you’ve worn the springs or the contacts).
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 numpad I could do without, but I need my home, end and delete keys.
I got a Glorious that I like a lot. But it has an End key but no Home key??? Wtf, how am I supposed to program on this??? I have to use Keyd on Linux (and AutoHotKey on Windows, but fortunately I don’t have to use Windows for work anymore) to remap it to have a Home key.
Those are still included in TKLs though…
