So, why are so many mech keyboards tenkeyless or mini? Why does that seem to be more popular than the full sized boards?

ZaavatarI got my ErgoDox amongst other things to have a shorter distance between the home position of my right hand and the mouse. That is obviously not something this keyboard handles in the best possible way though.

ZaavatarLess space, bigger room for mousepad. I know for me personally I want to sell my TK for TKL and get a bigger mousepad because I have low DPI and make fast glides.

ZaavatarIt depends on what you want, "professional" or "gaming". Overall, 60% is probably rarest, then tenkeyless (80%), then full-size with tenkey (100%). If you want a "gaming" mechanical, there are dozens of options, from basically every maker, for 100%-ers. However, a 60% "gaming" keyboard doesn't exist as far as I know (and there'd be no point, basically, it wouldn't qualify as 60% or it wouldn't qualify as "gaming" without more keys), and then tenkeyless is also quite rare (maybe a dozen true models, not just switch differences, and not including the weirdo integrated tenkeys, with arrows on 2,4,6,8 or arrows on 1,2,3,5), but literally, dozens of full-size mechanicals, with Cherry, ALPS/Matias, Topre, whatever, available even at Best Buy. As for "professional", such as Leopold, Filco, etc., I'd say that 100% is still more common than 80%, with 60% a definite presence but still rare. For example, the Egg has 152 mechanicals listed, the first page is fifteen 100% and five 80%, and granted some are just switch differences, but most "gaming" mechanicals will be 100%-ers.
