I’ve been playing competitive FPS for 20 years. In my experience (which i realize N=1) I can’t see a way that this is an ideal board for a shooter. The ergo is wrong. The space bar is too close to your movement keys your hand will be cramped after playing for any extended period. Your number row is ever so slightly shifted so weapon swaps will be clumsy. Left shift, which is pressed constantly, is much smaller and you will miss it with your pinky regularly making you miss critical movement and losing you the fight. I will admit if you trained on this board maybe you could overcome the quirks, but why? All I can see forcing that issue is losing games or picking up an injury. It’s a sweet board, but it’s the wrong tool for the job. This is an xl macropad. In all seriousness if I’m missing something here I would love to learn what it is. I’m always open to learning something new, especially if there’s a new wave of people using boards this small and playing at a high level.
