Does that extra size bother that many people It's better ergonomically if you don't have the tenkeys. Otherwise you end up putting strain on your shoulder because your mouse has to be shifted more to the right. | ||

If your keyboard is placed in the right place you don't need a tenkeyless, I only optd for a fc500r because i don't like typing numbers without a numpad, I don't see any strain or feel strain on my shoulders while playing/browsing/working. | ||

Dunno if you've tried, but if you want to do some maths calculations for whatever reason it's a total pain in the ass without a numpad and that alone is reason for me to never get a tenkeyless board | ||

I'm just a bit noob when typing and when my hands get out of position I tend to just look down at the keyboard to make the adjustment on the fly. With the letters printed on the front with this baby, its not quite as easy as it used to be =) I just see it as an incentive to master my typing skills without having to look at the keyboard, which wastes precious time in SC2 anyway. BTW that Corsair looks amazing! I really recommend learning typing with ten fingers. It makes it a whole lot easier to type without looking at the board (at least if you don't want typos). I went from my selfmade type style using 6-8 fingers to touch typing with 10 within a month. Find some program (there's online ones as well as software, some are free) and use it as much as you can each day and you'll probably get a hang of it pretty soon. It doesn't matter if you take it slow in the beginning as the most important aspect is to "deprogram" your fingers usual pattern. You won't neccesarily type much faster but it should lead to less typos and less need to look at the keyboard. Good luck!  | ||

Saves space and works just as well. | ||

Its honestly not that hard to use, if its good enough for IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads its good enough for me. The enter key is to the right of the number pad matrix...its not much different unless you are so reactionary that new things hurt you. If you try it for a week, without already making making a conclusion at the start, its honestly not any different from a real physical numberpad. | ||

Otherwise you end up putting strain on your shoulder because your mouse has to be shifted more to the right. It's also better for gaming because those numbers are so far out of reach for your left hand you are basically forced to waste time moving or use your right hand, not not only that ON THE FLY the dimensions of the keyboard pretty much tell you where everything is. e.g if I need to use the arrow keys on my Leopold brown tenkeyless (for whatever reason) i know they are so close to the edge that my touch sense can figure it out without much though going into it. I don't think i could ever go back to full-size unless i become an accountant, which will never happen. | ||
