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

For my own mental health I can only see the full and the tkl.
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.

I like my 1800 compact
It's only a problem for games like Arma that have a bums for every damn key.
96% gang. Best of both worlds, compact to just slightly wider than a TKL but without any sacrifice.

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!
Imagine the market being saturated with all kinds of keyboards in various form factors and layouts and someone holding you accountable for what you're using.
I used to think I can't do without an F-row. Nowadays I use a bunch of 60-ish boards (a Boardwalk, a Lily58, an Elora) and it's all fine. Even back when I was using a 75%, I was used to have e.g. the arrows on IJKL on a layer (of course it doesn't work well for games, but for things like text editing I'd argue it's even better than dedicated keys). In general I'd suggest to everyone to challenge themselves a little bit with things that don't seem good at first but might end up being useful in the long run.
TKL for the win
