I'm a big fan of 75% keyboards. The layout retains nearly everything from a full-size keyboard except the number pad (i.e. there are F-keys, numbers, arrows, Escape, Home/PgUp/PgDown, etc.), but compresses it all into a single rectangular block. For me, it's the perfect balance of compactness and usability. Fits snugly in my backpack but allows me to use my preferred set of keybinds since all the relevant keys are there. Here's a site with a rundown of most of the popular sizes: https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2017/08/full-size-tkl-60-and-more-a-guide-to-mechanical-keyboard-sizes/ https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2017/08/full-size-...

Mostly I prefer 40%, but when something conventional is required (Blender, TES Daggerfall, as examples) I too like 75%.

Hahaha—that binary keyboard. For me, I'm a happy full-size user—at home and at work. Work: The discontinued Apple Magic wired (like: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/9/16872204/matias-apple-mac-keyboard-wired-backlight-rgb-ces-2018 https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/9/16872204/ma...) Home: Logitech K840 https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/k840-mechanical-corded-keyboard https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/k840-mechanical-corde... I find both fantastic. Having learned to use the numpad by navigating speedily through old hierarchical menus on a DOS-based POS system, I don't think I can let them go.
