Sorry, I don't vote in overly complicated polls other than the USA Census and only because Thomas Jefferson (on the USA nickel) is one of my favourite presidents and he stuck it into the USA Constitution.

Tenkeyless is what I like. Not TKL.

No case at all is smallest 8-)

Maybe when i have some more time ill even remove that space below the spacebar (where the label sits now) but to be brutally honest it doesnt bother me to the point that im willing to put down the time and effort right now to do so....

This is size-wise about as small as i am comfortable with.... one less column and id lose the position where in my mind the backspace and/or esc should be, and one less row would be even more unpractical to me cuz it would lose the backspace and esc altogether and i kinda need the numbers quite alot.

One more column (making it HHKB-ish size wise) i could live with as it would give me some more buttons to acces layers and stuff (the board you see above is starting to run out of buttons for everything i want it to do)

don't fool around :twisted: - you've got a case on that - although is just the size of the PCB, which is what I meant. ;)
