Snagged a hybrid role in commercial lending and my old Das Keyboard I was using at home had some broken switches (including the numpad + which I need frequently). Used some of my cashed out vacation time from leaving my old job to make the upgrade.

Keychron Q5 Pro
-
Gateron Milky Yellow Pro Switches
-
KBDiy GMK Shoko Clones (going to upgrade when the time is right but needed something for now) - Been eyeing some Osume Dusks but they're out of stock.
-
Bell's Oberon Eclipse beer which oddly ended up matching the caps that came today.
Nothing wrong with a full-size keyboard, but "mini keyboards" didn't really target "gamers" at all at first. Most of the OG 60% keyboards like the KNC Poker weren't marketed towards gamers, and most still aren't (though they certainly work well for gaming use).
Not sure how they are "useless", you can be as productive or more productive compared to a full-size keyboard if it suits you.
