When using a mouse to the right of the keyboard, a narrower keyboard results in a more natural hand position.
It also helps when you need desk space for things other than computer use, but I admit that benefit is marginal.

- geoelectric 5y agoThis is why I use TKLs. I use a separate Leopold mechanical numpad placed on the left, so that the home row keys are more or less centered in my keyboard tray and under my monitor. Also much nicer for playing Civ and other games that don't use WASD for camera control.
