beats what I've used, as long as it's not broken so keys activate properly it won't hold you back. good attempt at a joke though (if that was your intent)

[@PaddyGun]

@@kuma_score7536 um well that’s the problem, when gaming many keys get stuck in the activated position and this gets me killed regularly, as a competitivish player this is annoying, don’t get me started on typos

[@sentsuu]

@@kuma_score7536 membrane keyboards tend to actually hold back fast typers and gamers actually - especially rhythm games since they don't have anti-ghosting or N-key rollover.

I recently just bought my first 60% keyboard it’s called a CQ63 it’s not the best and it has pretty bad stabilizers and soldered switches even I think. But I love it, it’s pretty heavy which I like cause it doesn’t move while playing and it feels pretty good quality wise minus the rattly stabilizers it’s smaller and it’s easier to use for gaming and it looks amazing in all white. Hopefully I can get a better one later like a Anne pro 2 or Hunstman Mini.

As a Person who uses a gaming keyboard for Autocad, a num pad is essential for me. But I see why the TKL’s are so popular with gamers. Side note, the topo design goes great with my work desk since I’m in the civil/surveying engineering side of things.

[@kuma_score7536]

although a 60% keyboard really isn't for me I do love how they look. main reason I wouldn't use one is because I like having dedicated macros and I do actually use a numb pad from time to time but for the people who don't need more a 60% just looks amazing and is super portable

[@kevinlin1680]

I have the same problem as you, but I solved it in this way, first I bought this keyboard but 65% and next i bought a mini keyboard that has all the numb apart, and in that way I can put the numb keyboard in the other side of the table and doesn't touch my mouse when I'm gaming

[@kuma_score7536]

@@kevinlin1680 I considered that with a TKL keyboard in the past but I didn't have the USB ports to support it at the time and I wasn't a big fan of the keypad having a completely different look and feel to my main keyboard so eventually I ended up settling for a Mountain Everest max although I'm considering getting their EV60 to trial run some time down the line.
