I know where you're coming from, at first I wanted a 100% layout since I was so used to it. I ended up changing my mind and went for a 96%(check out my history for pics!) but I'll have to get used to the small 0 key on the numpad, the lack of spacing between the keys and the shortened right shift.

From what I heard keychron keyboards are very good. As long as you selected the hot-swappable version you'll have a great base to build up on. You can get a new set of keycaps to quickly customize the looks without spending more than 20 mins. If you wanna go a little further I suggest trying the tape mod and foam mod, it's very easy to perform, costs less than 10 bucks but you'll need to dissassemble the board. This will give you a small insight on what keyboard building is like and you'll most likely love the new sound of your board.

Thanks for chipping in and I hope you like your new board! :)

Thanks for your feedback. I have edited the post to be more factual and added the link provided by /u/circle26 as it is a great ressource to really understand how different materials and thicknesses really affect the board. I really had it wrong at first but this is exactly why I made this post! Learning new things everyday :)

Thank you so much <3

Thanks for chipping in! I really had it wrong the more I look into it. That link is a great ressource as it goes in great details about all the keycap materials and thickness (which I have not really mention) that may be overlooked when shopping, I've added it to the guide thank you so much <3

I just looked into it and from different sources I get different information. I'll dig a little more into it and rework that section to be more factual. The way I wrote it might be misleading.

Thanks for your feedback :)

There is already mention of smaller layouts and split layouts in the Form Factor section. I didn't want to make this post too long(lol) so some information was condensed.

Do you rock a 40%? If so, can you explain what it's like to daily a 40% for us smaller brained fellows :3 ?
