Use case I hadn’t thought of! Best of luck on your smol keeb journey!

I did see the split in owl but not the 40% lol

I’d be careful throwing dork around in keyboard sub. None of us have a leg to stand on in that respect.Haha I’ve never seen a pro player use less than a 60% board, but I’ll take your word for it. I respectfully disagree that the ergo is better, but neither is it better when CS pros play with their keyboard rotated 90 degrees vertically or with their eyes 1 inch from the screen. At the end of the day, To each their own. That’s the beauty of this whole hobby.

I’ve been playing competitive FPS for 20 years. In my experience (which i realize N=1) I can’t see a way that this is an ideal board for a shooter. The ergo is wrong. The space bar is too close to your movement keys your hand will be cramped after playing for any extended period. Your number row is ever so slightly shifted so weapon swaps will be clumsy. Left shift, which is pressed constantly, is much smaller and you will miss it with your pinky regularly making you miss critical movement and losing you the fight. I will admit if you trained on this board maybe you could overcome the quirks, but why? All I can see forcing that issue is losing games or picking up an injury. It’s a sweet board, but it’s the wrong tool for the job. This is an xl macropad. In all seriousness if I’m missing something here I would love to learn what it is. I’m always open to learning something new, especially if there’s a new wave of people using boards this small and playing at a high level.

You’re getting downvoted but you’re 100% correct.
