Or, it could be a handle?
Why does a keyboard need a handle? Its supposed to sit stationary on the desk.

Or, it could be a handle?
I’m barely old enough to remember the glory days of strafing with the direction keys.I don't know man.
There I was playing games on the PC for YEARS and all of a sudden someone decided to change the controls from the perfectly good arrow keys intended for directions to some stupid WASD lettered layout.
Why should I change if they are the stupid ones?
Like the idea of that, but i would prefer slightly larger WASD keys (and positioned more like the arrow keys), with the hotkeys positioned around that. I have even thought about a thumb stick, like the tartarus/orbweaver but not sure if i would be able to get used to that. Plus with these being off the keyboard, it is far more difficult to quickly type in chat.I use this for my fps games and its super comfortable: One Handed Keyboard One-Handed Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB LED Backlit SADES Portable Mini Gaming Keypad for LOL/PUBG/Wow/Dota/OW/Fps Game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6NTPWH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bEf8Cb7VY3W86
That is really stupid looking. Why is there a giant ass hole in the middle? How do you effectively use those top keys? If people are space limited on their desk I doubt they have room for a double-height keyboard. I just don't get it. Also, this fucking line from the article "Keyboards are infuriating, right? With their long, thin layouts require you to move your hands left and right in order to hit specific keys." What? Just, what?
You have to up your game to ESDF.What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. You. People.
Only kinda kidding. Are you too good for WASD?!??
You have to up your game to ESDF.
Because it always good for effectivenss to replace a memorised layout ...
This is bar far at best a niche product and at worst tottaly idiotic
Also moving hands from side to side is way more natural than up and down.
I mean, the position of the keys is exactly the same, so it shouldn't be hard to acclimate to it. Your pinky may be confused at first, but I don't think that is hard to adjust to. ESDF is also keeping your hand in the natural position on the home row.I tried once back in my heyday with WoW. By "tried", I mean I gave it a shot for about 5 minutes, then I didn't feel like putting in further effort. I can see it's validity though, opens up W, Q, and A.

I cannot function on a computer keyboard without a numpad. If I'm gonna have to type in IP addresses, or numbers quickly in general... no frigging way I'm doing it without a numpad.
I use it any time I'm entering more than one or two numbers, it's really convenient (and I wouldn't want to have to pull out a separate numpad just to have a short kb. Which is why I got a coolermaster storm quickfire tk.Obviously everyone knows that but are you really crunching numbers and entering IP addresses that often when you are at home? Unless you play flight simulators a lot I doubt you're using much of the num pad at home.
By far the best solution that i've found and that I use is having a Tenkeyless keyboard and a cheap wireless numpad that I take out whenever I need it (which is incredibly rarely).
I use the Logitech G410 Tenkeyless and this cheap 2.4GHz wireless numpad. A single AA battery lasted me what seemed like a year.

Keep up the good life. I love and support you.
I mean, it's not for me, but someone may wind up liking it.
Personally I am completely tied to the standard IBM Enhanced Layout at this point. You know, this one:

I use an unusual set of controls and keyboard binds in games that dates back to the early Doom/Quake days, and has been tweaked, modified and added to by me over the years such that I use the numpad, arrow keys and the navigation block all based on "touch type" when playing games.
I don't think I could change it at this point, so no condensed keyboard layout could ever work for me.
If anyone is curious, my typical FPS controls look something like this (but are customized per title)
Mouse Y axis Inverted
Move Forward: Up Arrow
Move Backwards: Down Arrow
Move Left: Left arrow
Move Right: Right Arrow
Fire: Mouse1
Jump: Mouse2
Run/Sprint: Right Shift
Duck: Right Ctrl
Use: Enter
Reload: Del Key (on navigation cluster above arrow keys)
Drop: End Key (on navigation cluster above arrow keys)
Aim/Scope: PgDn (on navigation cluster above arrow keys)
Melee/ Instant Grenade: KP_ins
Next Weapon/Previos Weapon: Mouse Wheel
Quick Weapon Selection binds: Keybapd numbers
I remember when everyone started buying those stupid Logitech and razer single handed keyboard devices. I could never get used to it.Z's not old or he'd remember that WASD was the default because the 5150 didn't have an island of arrow keys and the numeric keypad used different scan codes. It's just you whippersnappers that need that kind of crutch!

I still miss my Merc Stealth though, awesome gear, tried using the stupid Nostromo type pads, not happening.I remember when everyone started buying those stupid Logitech and razer single handed keyboard devices. I could never get used to it.
