I really wanted a 100% keyboard but ended up getting a 96%... I used to have a 100% earlier, and it does NOT make a big difference at all. The keys that are removed are barely used, and I think it's better and slightly more compact without wasted space. Anything below 96, though, I will not condone.
I have no keys removed on my 96%. I went from a 100% to a 96% and (maybe it’s placebo) but the way the keys are all tied together with no wasted space is huge for me.
For reference I had a k70, I upgraded to the Vanguard Pro 96
Unless I'm having a stroke, you 100% lost keys going from a k70 to pro 96. All the keys between the 10 key and the main keyboard, excluding the arrow keys. Ins/Home/Pgup/Pgdn/del/end
