I bought the smallest keyboard I could, but I regret it
Having spent the better part of five years in the mechanical keyboard hobby, I pushed myself to try smaller keyboards in pursuit of where the compactness and efficiency gain curves intersect. I hoped to find the perfect middle ground between a full-size battleship that has a key for every imaginable function and a tiny Pain27 keyboard that has all the letters, a Spacebar, and nothing else. The world of sub-40% keyboards has always been a siren call, promising ultimate desk space savings and reduced finger travel. The philosophy is simple: move your fingers less, get more done. But as with most things in life, there's a point of diminishing returns, and I think I've found it with one seriously regrettable purchase.
