What do you dislike about gaming and the full size board?

lol I'm guessing........ the size.

Like the fact that the mouse hand is further away also keyboard is less centered.

:) Yes, probably the size. Personally, I have no issues with the full size boards. It feels that my left and right hands are even spaced across the width of the monitor. Typing and using a mouse with a full size board usually feels off-centered, though.

I'm done with full size.  Ducky Shine with thick PBT caps was very very tempting up until I looked at the photos too many times and understood that thick PBT and stock MX Clears were not going to compensate for the numpad :(

I'm using my new KeyCool TKL at work this week, but next week probably back to the TK Ducky.  Damn, now I want another TKL for work - I am actually finding it more ergonomic.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
