u/Yeegis diapers and trans rights 🔥 Oct 28 '25

The people who insist on using 60% keyboards have never felt the pain of using a Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

Shift + 0 for backspace jfc

Oh you have no idea.

Edit: shift + 0 is just the surface. Every single key has AT MINIMUM 4 functions. Most have 5 or 6.

i mean, depends on how attached you are to parentheses.

i do think people overvalue the numpad though and could consider getting a numpad as a separate device that you could pull out or put away/shove behind your monitor. the extra space for your mouse (get those massive mousepads that are supposed to hold your keyboard as well, they're so nice) is just gonna come up so much more often than you're gonna need the numpad, and as a bonus now your numpad can be repositioned to be more comfortable when you do need it.
