The 100% keyboard , also called full-size, represents the traditional format with its 104-105 complete keys . Measuring approximately 446 x 137 mm, it offers the complete set: numeric keypad, F1-F12 keys, navigation and arrow keys.
Keyboard advantages 100% for gaming
For simulation games like Microsoft Flight Simulator or complex MMOs like EVE Online, the 100% keyboard excels thanks to its essential numeric keypad and numerous shortcut keys. Streamers and gamers using advanced macros also benefit from all available features without the need for key combinations.
Disadvantages for competitive gaming
Competitive FPS players face significant limitations: the bulk (46 cm wide) forces the mouse to be further away, compromising ergonomics and precision. The mouse-keyboard distance also causes shoulder strain and restricts the rapid movements essential for gaming.
Excellence in office automation
The 100% keyboard shines in professional environments . The numeric keypad boosts the productivity of accountants and financial analysts, while the F1-F12 keys facilitate shortcuts in Excel and other office software. Its familiarity eliminates any learning curve.
Office limitations
The INRS, however, recommends compact formats for ergonomic reasons: a 100% keyboard pushes the mouse further away, creating tension in the right shoulder. Its bulk also poses challenges in confined spaces and for remote work.
Comparison with other formats
Compared to the TKL (87 keys) which eliminates the keypad, the ultra-compact 75% or the minimalist 60% , the 100% keyboard prioritizes full functionality over compactness.
Recommended users
The 100% keyboard is ideal for finance professionals, simulation gamers, creatives using complex software, and anyone who prioritizes maximum versatility on a spacious desk.
