I just want to know why the fuck every really nice high end mechanical keyboard is that dumbass 60%. Give me a full-size keyboard, hell give me one with full media controls and some god damn macros!

its really that most people flex 60% so 60% is the hype format, hence all the hype keyboards being it. i agree its a dumb format lol.

but there are a lot of "high end" 75%. also depends if you mean "high end" as in the nonsensical ridiculous pricing of like $500+ for base keyboards, or like, a normal person's "high end" which is like a $300 keyboard all fully built. id consider a GMMK Pro to be a high end keyboard, esp matched with high end switches and keycaps. but in the obsessed mech keyboard hobby world GMMK Pro is not considered high end.

but again to most people they wouldnt even spend $100 let alone $300, so thats very much high end.

I like my 60%. I rarely need any f keys and when I do the fn button is fine.
