There's legitimate preference at play in terms of 40 vs 60 vs 100, choice of switch, etc, but a lot of the fanaticism itself is indeed fashion.
If there's ever a doubt, just check out all the keyboard photoshoots that get upvoted to the top of /r/mechanicalkeyboards
- dhagz 7y agoWithout a doubt, half the reason I use a 40% keyboard is how it looks. I feel that the ergonomics argument is not fully thought out, as holding down a modifier to access other layers can actually reduce ergonomics if you haven't set up your keymaps properly (e.g. to access number keys you must hold down a modifier with the same hand that you need to type the numbers with - potentially un-ergonomic).
