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 was looking to get a mechanical keyboard. 8bitdo seemed to be recommended by some folks, but they don't have the full-sized one with the 10-key here in Japan. Looks like I'm waiting.

I use the numpad a ton at work. But pretty rarely outside that. Same with the function row I use it a ton at work.

That's why I got a nice 96%. And to save money I carry it to work and back instead of getting two.

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.

The best keyboard I managed to find from all keyboards I've ever used (including high end mechanical ones) is.. 96%, keychron q6. Embrace mental disability, it feels so incredibly good

96% gang. Best of both worlds, compact to just slightly wider than a TKL but without any sacrifice.

My daily keyboard's a 40%.

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

I found exactly one keyboard with oversized keys for my fat sausage fingers, no num pad. I emailed the company to see if they were planning on doing a full sized version, nope. Guess I'm gonna keep making typos.
