Hello TL!
This is my first thread, if this is in a place it should not be, please delete or move it somewhere more appropriate.
So I lack space on my desk, I'm actually playing with no more than 20cm (7.87 inches) for mouse movement. Being a player that uses extremely low sensitivities, I'm looking for a way to maximize my available space.
The only thing that may work for me is changing the keyboard for a smaller one.
It's kinda easy to find small keyboards, but every single one I've found so far has that terrible "slim" format to it.
I'm looking for something that has the feel of the DAS keyboard (spoilered below), but without the numeric pad.
The DAS Keyboard:

An attempt to show what I mean:
+ Show Spoiler +
An attempt to show what I DON'T mean:
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm really struggling to find something like this. So, if anyone knows any model related to what I'm looking for, please reply!
I have searched for any thread like this one, but if it exists, please delete this one.
In advance, thanks TL!

They're known as tenkeyless keyboards. I'm fairly sure that regular tenkeyless boards shouldn't have the keys all squashed together, they just have the numberpad removed.

Wow, I didn't expect the solution would come out so easily, thanks a lot guys!
My only issue now is trying to find one of those for sale here at Brazil. If i search for "tenkeyless" only stores like ebay, amazon are displayed, and there's no proper translation for this term.
Is there like one famous model from a major brand? Something from Steelseries, Zowie, or even Razer that I can actually find at any gaming store in here?

You are looking to buy the Cooler Master CM Quick Fire Mechanical Keyboard.

none of those make a tenkeyless as far as i know i gave links though... Ducky and the taiwan brands (filco, noppo, etc) do and the CM keyboard make the tenkeyless
edit: you could also just get old ibm keyboard or something

Gosh its like the only keyboard I would ever talk about lol. It's cheap, good, and durable. I'm sad I didn't wait for the cherry brown switches, I got the blue ones in a rush, although I'm still VERY happy with mine. There's some stores in Brazil that sell them.

Oh wow, this one from Cooler Master is indeed the perfect one. And yeah, it's cheap in dollars, but hella expansive in Brazil.
It looks like the average price in dollars is U$ 79,90. By my searches, I can't get anything less than R$ 429,99 (R$ 1,00 = $ 1,98).
Yeah, taxes and taxes, I love my country.
I'm not able to spend more than R$ 200,00 in any keyboard. I imagine that would be like 40 dollars with the taxes kicking in.
Is there any TenKeyLess keyboard under that price? There is no need for it to be mechanical.

Although this might land in your "What I don't mean" category, there is the Microsoft Sidewinder X6. The keys are half height: lower than a typical keyboard but higher than a typical laptop keyboard. Personally, I think it has much better tactile feel than a typical full height membrane keyboard. Images will show the keypad attached: the keypad is removable and can go on the left or right.
It has a strange ghosting problem where it won't register Ctrl + W + R at the same time, however. I don't use WASD however so its not really a problem for me.
