What is your excuse for not having a tenkeyless keyboard?
>buying filco in 2016
haha
>>53564239
i use the numpad every single day.
>>53564239
>for not having a tenkeyless keyboard?
Because they're fucking stupid.
pls no h8
>>53564248
that's a possibility, also, it's a possibility they don't care about keyboards and tendies, or, they use it. numpad is objectively amazing for certain tasks.
open ur mind
If you don't use a numpad regularly, you don't belong on /g/.
>>53564258
you spent 150 on 2 shitty kailh boards when you put it towards one much nicer keyboard
>>53564248
Because having the actual keys centered in front of you without having to set off everything else is stupid?
>>53564239
why should i? i don't live in a box, i can waste those 10cm of my desk on a full keyboard.
>>53564245
Temp work really makes you wish you had tried harder in high school doesn't it?
I have the space for a tenkey.
Plus I don't think they make a tenkeyless buckling spring keyboard.
I’m not fucking poor I can afford a full sized keyboard.
>>53564324
as if you needed a large space to scatter all your hardware and still insist it to be ergonomic
>>53564284
idc but fyi i have 3 shitty keyboards.
I love my Numpad, it brings me back to when I used to play a Pac-Man knockoff on the family Macintosh Performa.
>>53564377
>paying for clutter
>>53564331
actually, i compose shitty score for radio commercials, youtube videos, and on two occasions actual television features, one was a commerical and one was RCG canal 7, a mexican television station. i got the job because my father is a broadcast tech.
when using sibelius, a musical scoring program, i don't touch the mouse, i compose entirely with two hands on the keyboard, and the numpad is used to shift between note durations, and when you hit numlock, you can use it to write intervals. its way better than mouse clicking. its almost like fretting a guitar and pulling strings.
Because I need my number block? What sort of stupid question is this?
I use it to enter every number. I wish the number row would be all symbols by default.
>>53564414
ur wish is AHK's command!
I abuse the numpad to spam alt-codes like ™.
>>53564280
>what are seperate numpads
>>53564324
Have fun stretching your shoulders out and being more uncomfortable sperglord
>>53564239
I have a tenkeyless keyboard.
>>53564306
Simple solution
Use your mouse or trackball with your left hand as it was originally designed.
Or pic related
>>53564258
FABULOUS
my excuse is that i use the ten key pad constantly
>>53564239
because shitty university assignments require me to type up stupid amounts of handwritten numbers because lecturer cannot into 21st century FEA.
Also... why the fuck would i pay more for less features?
>>53565011
b-but anon it's not less features, you just need to use the function key all the time!
>>53565011
this particular model is wireless
that's a feature
>>53565071
No that's a downgrade
>>53564239
What's your excuse for not having a fully programmable, open source firmware 60% board?
>>53565071
Depends on your use case...
If you are fine with ever replacing a battery and getting down on your knees every 3 days when the wireless dongle needs a handy, then get a wireless keyboard.
If you want to plug in your keyboard and actually do work on it rather than obsess over key switches and muh-portability get a decent keyboard.
I like how this thread has had no TKL boards posted.
>>53565370
Except it has
>>53565389
I see two 65%, a 60%, and a left-hand fullsize.
>not having easily accessible macro keys
What's the point of playing video games if I can't shitpost at the touch of a button?
>>53565419
Does tkl not mean tenkeyless? >>53564258
>>53565432
That's what it stands for, but it doesn't mean "without a numpad". It refers to the specific 80% layout of a typical fullsize sans numpad.
Can't afford it senpai
>>53565430
why would i pay more for less keys?? thats dumb
>>53564258
The letters on the caps are too big
but otherwise it's nice
>>53564371
They do, but its $200 at least on ebay.
>>53565792
Yeah no thanks, I could buy two regular ones for that
>>53564239
I need to have arrow keys to navigate through code
>>53565816
80%TKL's.
>>53564239
i already have one

buying a gimped keyboard to spend extra money on an ad-on. you certainly sound like the smart one
>>53564239
because they are shit on anything but laptops

yeah if you shitpost on /g/ all day. If you do some actual work the non gimped layout is far superior
>>53564239

Of course I have one.
>But I sort of wish I got the fullsize version desu senpai
I use the numpad for scripts and hotkeys. But I got one o' dese so I put the numpad above off to the side
>>53566406
If I hadn't already reached the Seventh Circle of /mkg/ Hell I might actually find this setup pretty.
>>53564239
I use numpad as keybinding place... why would I want to drop it?
>>53564258
How do you rate them? I like browns.
I bought one, waiting for the package to come, I bought into the topre meme too, I'm probably gonna regret it.

I like to have a dedicated block on my keyboard for entering captchas and playing roguelikes.
>tenkeyless
Entering numbers on a numpad is faster and more comfortable than doing so on the upper row. Unless you have so little space that you cant afford it, full size keyboard is always better.
>>53564239
I use a vastly superior layout instead.
>>53564239
>What is your excuse for having a tenkeyless keyboard?
FTFY
>>53567290
Don't think I've seen that layout before, I really like it though. What keyboard you got, anon?
>buy tenkeyless
>miss numpad
>buy a standalone numpad to go with my tenkeyless
it's nice being able to have it on the other side of my mouse I guess
>>53567324
Compact SQ
Based off old cherry 1800 layout, but cut down to match a TKL in size.
Unlike OP I do not enjoy the taste of cock.
if you don't have cute keyboards then girls wont talk to you
>>53568574
Senpai
I actually need to use those extra keys.
>>53569265
>2016
>needing two sets of number keys
SSK Model M versions are ridiculously expensive, and nigh non-existent in my 3rd-world shithole, I managed to get a new in box Model M for 10 dollars, and my desk is more than big enough to store all this shit, two monitors, and a laptop.
>>53569300
You'd have typed that 2016 faster with a numpad, faggot
>tfw using my numpad to plow through these address number captchas
>>53564239
I actually get shit done on my computer. Also, I'm not gay.
>>53564239
Because:
- I don't use an American keyboard layout and the top row is useful for a lot more than just numbers.
- I'm in accounting and a keypad makes things easier.
Tenkeyless would be a fucking huge regression.
>>53566432
I've never touched a mechanical keyboard so I'm untainted, still content with scissors. How far is the key travel on mechs? I got that one specifically because scissors keys are slim with little travel (compared to full size rubber dome)
>>53564239
Lol, wtf. No keyboard has a 10 key.
>>53569356
1/10, I actually checked the photo
>>53569354
More travel so you don't need to bottom out and waste energy/strain fingers. Travel to actuation is usually about the same, ~2mm, depending on switch.
>>53569305
>implying having to move your hand to a separate set of keys makes you faster
I don't even
>>53569771
My hand's on the way back to the trackpad after typing my post, the numpad's on the way over.
>>53566140
This. BRB going to play some vim golf.
>>53564733
>marketed to left-handers
>solves the problems right-handers have
I don't know which genius it was who thought putting the numpad on the right was a good idea, but I'm glad to see some people are finally fixing their mistake.
>>53564239
Why would I want a keyboard with fewer keys? Do you use a one-button mouse too?
>>53564239
Because I care about getting shit done more than being a fucking hipster.
The only thing I miss about a full size keyboard is being able to hit the enter key with my thumb without having to take my hand off the mouse.
>>53567215
tome4>DF
Because I like my Das4 to much
Are there really people who don't have the space on their desk for a full keyboard?
>>53565719
no they're not
that keyboard looks fucking disgusting
>>53564239
Because numpad is fucking important, and F-keys are essential to many games, especially the old ones, which i live btw.
You cant even play D2 on your shitty keyboard
tenkeyless = hands can be closer together = more comfortable and better for posture
>>53565430
Couple that with a Naga Epic and you got shaman skills covered. Pre-cata atleast.
What's the keyboard in the OP?
>>53564239
I use one too. I honestly never use any of the keys i abandoned such as the numpad keys. I literally got rid of keys i dont use.
>>53565430
>hold CTRL
congrats you now have double the amount of keys available!
>hold ALT
oh look 3x
>hold SHIFT
4x isn't that nice
need I go on?
holding modifier keys and using the keys your hand is already on is objectively better than having to leave them for those macro keys

Why are you so stupid

Yeah, its very confortable to keep you little finger pressing ctrl all day with absolutely no necessity because you are dumb

Rumor has it Filco is launching a TKL Convertible(USB/Bluetooth) board.
Filco also makes first party Hi-Pro keys.
Bam, you'd be set.
If you don't wanna wait you can get the fullsize version now.
>>53566406
I'd replace my full sized keyboard for one of these in a heartbeat, I remember an old microsoft keyboard I had with this separated layout that was comfy as fuck.
>>53570921
I just move my arms as if playing piano, i dont strap my wrists on the table to play, nor do I have severe muscle dystrophy
>>53570938
Well, I might have get it if it's not priced out of the ass. I'd use it with a separate wireless numpad. Using a non-standard layout and need the number row for different symbols.
pro tools hotkeys and their inability to be remapped.

Compact SQ has no brand. It is a custom PCB made by some Koren dude.

I meant that the keyboard with misaligned out-of-place colored keys looks retarded
couldn't care less about what's in the keyboard

why can't you give actual arguments

Oh, right. I agree with you there, sorry anon

I'm starting to like it here, theres no trap thread, no "lelelele banana epic maymays xD" and a higher avg IQ score, but the edge sure is strong here.
>>53571112
It simply does not take more time for me, moving fingers and arms simultaneously is natural for me and i never needed more speed because i'm actually very fast. Theres nothing to argue scientifically about, its about personal skill, i wouldnt perform as well on your keyboard and you wouldnt on mine.
no reason not to own one

>>53564239
You get 0/10 for effort.
At least pick a keyboard with a layout you can actually type on with human fingers.
>>53564243
Nothing better on the market than a Filco Majestouch 2.
>>53571224
>having empty space on a 60% keyboard
Well I guess the logo has to go somewhere, on my keyboard it's on the bottom, where there aren't any keys.
>>53564239
I have one, but I also have a separate numpad.
Occasional data entry.
>>53564243
My Majestouch 2 is worth more now than when I bought it since they're not sold by Australian retailers anymore
>>53564239
Because the numpad is useful as shit for Excel documents and other number-heavy shit, and since I'm not a "minimalist" hipster using a TV dinner tray as a desk I don't really mind the whole 4 inches added to the width.

>>53572020
I actually enjoy new scissor switch TP keyboards more than any cherry mechanical. The problem is that the plastic wears down and they feel much worse after 1-2 years of daily use. I've had to replace the keyboard in my T60 3 or 4 times now.
What TKL blue switch keyboards does /g/ recommend?
