One decent reason is that it brings the mouse closer, so you can move your hand over more quickly and are more likely to find the right keys when moving the other way.
That’s a fair point, and why I have a TKL instead of full size. The reason I wouldn’t consider the % ones is being able to sit at any keyboard for work, friends, in public, relatives, etc and not worry about typos due to the slight placement differences. It’s quite frustrating.
Yeah, fair enough. I use laptop keyboards so much that I need to get used to a full-sized keyboard, whenever I use one. 🙃
Unfortunately, laptop keyboards are a mess of different layouts, so it’s not either like I can sit down at someone else’s laptop and immediately know where everything is…
its really a matter of personal preference, but I prefer to have more space for my mousepad and coffee, rather than a larger keyboard just for the sake of it. even if I did want a numpad, (which I don’t because I prefer macropads) I would want to be able to move it around separately from the keyboard
nah 75%'s are more popular than tkl right now for a reason, its more compact and gives you basically the same function.
Why do I need it to be compact? Neither my desk nor my fingers are changing sizes.
