How many keys does your ideal keyboard have? What's your favorite layout?

183 or more.

The perfect keyboard only needs 5 keys.

tenkeyless is fine, thanks

Ideally 75% but anything below 80% since I use a laptop
>>
>>107719043
129 and a half.
>>

Looks pretty useful, but a lot of keys are in stupid places.

80% + separate matching numpad (so I can put it on the left side)

Anything over 42 keys is bloat.

After finishing the edit I realized I might as well have just drawn it from scratch, but I want something like this I think. Might have to try and fail to DIY it myself eventually.

I have typed on a lot of keyboards.
I have used full size, tkl and 60% keyboards.
I have typed on the weird split keyboards with 32 keys.
I have typed on the ufo looking as keyboards with curved keywells.
Every time I came back to the HHKB after a few months.
There really is nothing else that I like quite as much.
I'm thinking of buying a couple more in case they company making these goes out of business one day.
>>
>>107719043
No reason to not use a full sized keyboard. Still not sure how they managed to scam so many people into accepting it as the new default.

If your keyboard being like 5-10cm longer creates issue with desk space. You should focus on moving out of the tiny caravan you live in instead of wasting money on keyboards.

for me, it's 61 keys. no reason to use a full size keyboard other than "that's what we always used". it's very comfy if you manage to control your computer and applications with those keys only. also any laptop keyboard will immediately feel like home

I use 50 keys and heavily rely on layers. This isn't my build (built my own) but I've been using it as a daily driver at work/home for about 5 years now. I use the Colemak layout as well.
>>
>>107719043
like anyone browsing /g/ around 2018 I got psyoped to by a 60% keyboard. Then after years of suffering I finally got my hand on a 100% 102 keyboard and I found bliss and peacefulness at last. If you don't have enough room to have a big keyboard, than reconsider your life. Desk too small ? By a bigger desk. Room too small ? Buy a bigger room. Money too sparse ? Buy more money. Simple as.
>>
>>107719043
The 75% would be great if it had some separation for the F-keys and the arrow keys.

60% for me :3

I like ~75 and ~65 percent. If I need a numpad I like it on the left.
>>
>>107719560
Split keyboards are the only thing that will have a significant impact. Mentally masturbating over 96% boards vs 87% boards is pointless.
I'm using a Silakka and building a Konrad now.

>>107719863
>>107719877
Model F is better in every way.
>>
>>107719043
104. Unless you're retarded, you're gonna use the numpad all the time.
>>
>>107719903
Split, no row stagger, thumbs employed is the way. Like holy shit, let go of the hundred year old typewriter mistake.
>>
>>107719043
Anything less than 100% is a tranny indicator and enough reason to execute the owner.
>>
>>107719211
yeah the letters aren't even alphabetical
>>
>>107719918
>Model F is better in every way.
that is why every keyboard was modelled after the Model M not the F
>>
I realised I don't rly type numbers much, so TKL is good for me.
I use standard layout, either ANSI/ISO is fine.
>>
>>107719043
the standard 60%. Its just the best for our modern times

Visually I really like tenkeyless, but it makes zero sense since my shoulders are already wide.
I don't gain anything from having my mouse hand closer to the letter keys. While functionally 100% makes more sense.
>>
>>107719043
100% standard ANSI layout. I'm not a hipster and the extra size isn't an issue unless your desk is literally a TV dinner tray.
Even if you don't usually use the numpad for number input, it's damn useful for macros and miscellaneous keybinds.
>>
>>107719918
>>107720048
Don't agree that it's better in every way, obviously depends on the model of Model F, they have different layouts, but Model F is way higher quality then Model M, literally no corners cut while Model M is already a mass produced "chip of corners for cheaper / more profit".
