Vortex Pok3r Giveaway sponsored by Massdrop

I prefer a 60% keyboard for gaming but a full size 104-key keyboard for work.

60%

[UnknownKings]

Gotta have my 104+ keyboard.

[mosin40]

I prefer a full size kb mostly because i like to use the numpad

[SalmanJunaid]

I used to be into 10-key less keyboards because they looked much sleeker but after getting the K70 as my first mechanical keyboard, I can't imagine a keyboard without a numpad.

[WildSpartanz]

I like full sized Key Boards. I love the fact that in games like Arma 3, Arma 2, DayZ, H1Z1 I can just press the enter key (I am used to it) to change my camera angle! 

[XTankSlayerX]

I've grown accustomed to full sized keyboards, but  they're simply too big to carry around and take to school for example.

 

I do use all the features of a full sized keyboards, but enjoy the portability and size of 60%... I'm torn between sizes D:

[MeltingPoint]

I prefer TKL. Gives me the full key size, spacing and layout of a 104-key but allows me to keep my mouse closer to the keyboard. 

I don't like using anything smaller as my hands are fairly large and I feel cramped.

[BlackMask]

I like the keyboard with the numpad on it because I found it very useful when I have to input a punch of numbers. I don't even look when input a series of numbers and it make everything so fast when inputting number. However I love mechanical keyboard, but couldn't afford to get one because all of them are like above $100, so for the love more than the like I think I will be just find without the numpad on it.

[JgsDragon]

I really like full-sized keyboards with the number-pad (and possibly some macro keys )  I use the number-pad fairly frequently to type numbers or hit enter when my mouse is not needed.

I don't need the number pad...  ;D

[chps8]

Full keyboard, I prefer usability, not portability on a keyboard.

[SoftPoison]

I love TKL and 60% keyboards, but I just can't find the money to purchase one, so I have to keep using my gargantuan Apex. It's still a nice keyboard though.

[Sarge_Dixon]

My favourite keyboard size is 60%. I love that it lets me move my mouse closer to my keyboard when gaming, and don't find that I miss the numberpad or navigation keys.

[deigo73]

My daily driver keyboard is full sized, but I always carry a shorter keyboard in my backpack for onsite work.

[nutral]

I like a full keyboard, especially with dedicated media keys. I use the numpad a lot for blind entry of numers or maths. My laptop doesn't have a numpad and that really annoys me sometimes.

[Zerolessmusic]

Thanks for a chance to win!

 

My favorite keyboard size at the moment is the normal 104 key layout...but I have been looking at 60 percents, I like the idea of saving more space.

[Nonesac]

I've been using a full key board my whole life just didn't put much thought into it but i would like a much smaller key board so that i can see what its like

[Grrizz]

My favourite is a TKL keyboard with a separate ten key pad. I like having a bit more of a central WASD + mouse area with the ten key off to the far right or above the mouse for those spreadsheet days I also don't particularly like the TKLs with overlaid ten key with arrow keys as a substitute for a separate ten key pad because the main time I use my ten keys is when I'm using the arrows so an overlay is annoying

I am keen to try a lefty TKL and ten key pad combo though (60/70% ergonomics with full keyset), not sure if it'd be too weird feeling but if I can adjust to it I see that being my golden setup

[buyung]

I prefer the full-blown keyboard with dedicated multimedia keys. Macro Keys are added bonus. Even my laptop has the full layout. Never bought a TKL and been wondering how it would work for me.

[Huskyman06]

I enjoy a good full-size keyboard because I've become very adept at using them. But 80% keyboards are great for when you need a comfortable keyboard yet it's still compact enough (slightly) to carry around and it has my special fn buttons (I use them a lot). And ten-key number pads aren't always needed but very useful when they are utilised.

[mkdewidar]

Thanks to mass drop and linus media group for the giveaway.

I have personally never tried anything smaller than a full sized keyboard, at least not as a daily driver. I almost always use the number pad when I need to enter numbers though. Reaching out for top keys feels awkward to me.

[Jman1906]

Personally I have always used a 60% keyboard on a laptop. I definitely prefer it on a laptop form factor. But I'm looking to build a desktop system and will probably go with a full sized keyboard so I won't have to press 3 buttons to use the page up key in a game.

[Zackey_TNT]

I have used membrain keyboards my whole life, I could not say what i like but i find on laptops i have around the house that dont have number pads i do just fine

[Quantum]

I prefer TKL keyboards because I don't use the numpad and the extra space is nice to have. I'd like to try 60% one day to see if I'd like it.
