The Keychron K4/related (K4 HE here) compact 96% layout is definitely my favorite keyboard layout. Just a solid brick of keys.

The HE keyboards are really great. I have been using the K10 HE for a year and it's the best keyboard I've used.

Why do you like rhe 96% layout? I prefer the full space, recently upgraded to a Q6 Ultra, I’m really happy I can get a wireless version of most of their models these days.

		Wider keyboards (with the space for arrow keys and number keys to the right) put extra strain on your right shoulder when you use the mouse in your right hand. I've been using a narrow keyboard and ergonomic mouse for 2 weeks, and my shoulder pain is starting to go away. I put a number pad on the left and it's much easier to key in numbers with my left hand instead of using my mouse with my left hand.

Second this. I was skeptical because I thought I was attached to the "heft" of a full layout, but the 96% is the best of both worlds.
