Long live the numpad!
Ergodox EZ checking in...
The 96% actually looks reasonable
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've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.

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!

"He said the truth", but they hated him.
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 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.
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.
peep the horror
Ah yes, the klingon keyboard. Goes on the armrests of the captains chair.
Nice Mizu

Calling a 96% a mental disorder says more about you, OP than a friggin keyboard.
sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.
If I could I would have two tiers and pedals like an organ master
No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?
Beautiful! Thank you!
I'll save y'all the search an tell you it costs about 950€ plus shipping for a 5 kg behemoth of a keyboard. And plus any tariffs, should you live in freedom land and tariffs are currently applicable.

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.

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
65% is too cramped. Buttons need double functions and the FN key works overtime.
75% or TKL is the way.
I literally will not ever daily use a keyboard if it doesn't have a number pad.
Any time I'm forced to temporarily use anything without a num pad I feel like I'm driving a car that's missing half it's steering wheel or something. It just feels wrong.

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.
