Thanks Nick and Massdrop!

 

I prefer full-size keyboards because I've been using the (original) IBM Model M since I was strong enough to press down the keys. I've never really experienced anything different, and I have a feeling that this is considered larger than today's 'full size'.

I'm also curious about the 120-something key Model M, with 24 function keys...

Thanks to massdrop for providing the keyboard.

 

always go for the full size keyboard because having a keyboard that requires more button presses to execute something is annoying.

[minibois]

My favorite size keyboard is probably TKL (ten keyless) because I just don't use the numpad and I liked saving some space.

I do like having the F-keys, but don't need the numpad.

 

Thanks for the giveaway

[aahrg]

i prefer 80%/TKL boards

 

I've never really used the numpad, but the 60% feels weird because i'm using a fn key for everything

[-TesseracT-]

10keyless because then I have more space for my mouse!

[d3sl91]

I prefer full size keyboards, but have been wanting a 60% for portable use for awhile. 

[prolemur]

I like the ten key-less the most because I rarely use the numpad and it lets me have a thinner stance. Maybe a poker would be good for gaming, but not too sure about daily use as I like my arrow keys and the other function block. We'll see...

[Wauthar]

I think I would prefer a full sized keyboard for everyday use, just because of the numpad. However, I have never tried a 60% keyboard. I might give them a try someday.

[CtW]

I personally prefer the full keyboard layout or the layout that combines the arrow keys and the buttons above it with the num pad. I use the num pad really often for calculations and entering in info that is numbers only. Lack of a numpad is not a deal breaker for me as far as laptops  go, but it is nice to have on them.

[TacticlTwinkie]

I gotta go with a full 104 key layout. I use the number pad whenever I'm doing work on my pc. But a poker keyboard would be pretty sweet for my media pc.

[Ninjadiggs]

I do like full size keyboards just because I'm more used to them. The smaller ones are better for storage and for fitting in a backpack for LAN parities though so that's cool thing about them. And yer I don't really use the mum pad that much anyway

But yeah, backlit keyboards are also pretty cool. I like the RGB onens because you can change the depending on what your build looks like

[Guest]

I prefer like full sized keyboards cause that's all I've ever used.

[TJarsun]

Fullsize suits me better! I do a lot of number input so the numpad is essential to me.

 

Nice to have a worldwide giveaway!

When gaming, 60% keyboards are simply glorious, because there is far more space to move the mouse and it is generally more ergonomic. However in day to day use I can't go without a full size keyboard.

[Winvsking]

Personally I love any keyboard size that is less than 100% due to my rsi a few months back and my ridiculously huge mouse pad that I don't want to be flopping around

[Rundas]

My favorite keyboard is 60%. I like that it is easy to take with me to places and that I have no use for the numpad.

[kachel94]

I could not live with out my 104 keyboard, Using it for work, i have always owned standard sized keyboards but have recently wanted a Vortex poker as i seen it on massdrop a few months ago!

[Avalon304]

I prefer a full sized keyboard, mainly because Ive never owned any other kind.

[ashwinlohar]

i Prefer Full Sized Keyboards. As I Frequently Use The Num Pad

[trtiich]

I prefer full sized keyboards, because I use the numpad instead of the numbers above the letters. I really hate those above numbers.

[MatthewHogan]

I prefer smaller keyboards because I haven't got a very big desk.  

[Gorrilafur]

I prefer smaller keyboards without the number pad due to the fact that it allows me to cram more stuff onto my already small desk while still having a reliable way to type, play games, and whatever else I will be doing. If I can find a keyboard with arrow keys that size it is a huge bonus but it will not make too much of a difference only because I can use a mouse to scroll through pages and WASD or a controller for my games.

[link07]

My favorite keyboard style is a full keyboard; 80% of the time I find a tenkeyless perfectly fine, but for the few times i need that 10 key, it's so great!

(That, and I can laugh at my friends when they find out a game such as GTA V needs the ten keys unless you rebind)

[TallAzzWhiteGuy]

smaller keyboards are nice if you don't have much desk room
