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 !

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.

Southpaw TKL FRL is where real beauty at

My daily keyboard's a 40%.

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

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.

I will ask this here maybe somebody got an idea.

I currently have a Corsair K95 with the macro key row to the left, I really want to use a TKL keyboard so I dont bump into it all the time with my mouse. At the same time I would also like to have a numpad are there any keyboards that combine those two things so a row of macro keys and a numpad (southpaw) on the left?

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

I love my Moonlander. I'll never go back.

laughs in K95

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

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.

75%er here. I'm content.

I went from 65% to 60% and am very happy!

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.
