75% + 4x4 macropad
I found exactly one keyboard with oversized keys for my fat sausage fingers, no num pad. I emailed the company to see if they were planning on doing a full sized version, nope. Guess I'm gonna keep making typos.

I use my numpad to move and resize windows. A lot of Openbox setups I used utilized the feature, and I try to replicate it on whatever DE or WM I use.
I've been using full size my whole life but it seems like TKL is my next logical step because I need more mousing space.
I was looking to get a mechanical keyboard. 8bitdo seemed to be recommended by some folks, but they don't have the full-sized one with the 10-key here in Japan. Looks like I'm waiting.
i love my 60% keyboard. i rebound the caps lock key to be a modifier key that swaps the functions of several keys on the keyboard. i basically have two keyboards stacked on top of each other that i can switch between at will. e.g., when caps lock is held: the number keys turn into Fn keys, WASD turns into the arrow keys, and N, M, < turn into the volume down, mute, and volume up keys, respectively.
i also changed the rgb colors on the keyboard so this is all color coded in case i forget.

I like my 1800 compact
It's only a problem for games like Arma that have a bums for every damn key.
i have a 65% although honestly i'd rather it be a 75% (which i meant to buy but didn't look closely enough at the keyboard), anyway it's not that bad
i also with the damn apostrophe key wasnt the same as the esc key + fn

Imagine the market being saturated with all kinds of keyboards in various form factors and layouts and someone holding you accountable for what you're using.
I used to think I can't do without an F-row. Nowadays I use a bunch of 60-ish boards (a Boardwalk, a Lily58, an Elora) and it's all fine. Even back when I was using a 75%, I was used to have e.g. the arrows on IJKL on a layer (of course it doesn't work well for games, but for things like text editing I'd argue it's even better than dedicated keys). In general I'd suggest to everyone to challenge themselves a little bit with things that don't seem good at first but might end up being useful in the long run.
