Meme/Macro Some Mfs out there using a 0.1% keyboard?

I don't even want to talk about the widget that Eats up 8 GB of RAM

The main benefits are speed and efficiency. There's a learning curve but you will become faster if you can do the same actions with fewer keys.

At the extreme end we have stenographers (the people who type transcripts in courtrooms) who are able to type 250+ words per minute.

With things like CAD if I didn’t have a full keyboard it would suck to do anything

I originally got mine for extra mouse space, but I also just like the vibe. There's also the bonus of literally no one else knowing how to use it lol

speed of what? how having less keys would benefit speed in any way?

Typing speed. The time it takes to press multiple keys simultaneously is negligible compared to moving your hands to press a distant key.

I hope you reinvest those 40s saved on moving hands per year into self-improvement or other hobbies.

Of course. It leaves me with a lot of extra desk space to play Magic the Gathering.

Nice, happy for you. Though I would be more strategic with this space and leave it for Dorito crumbs to form a strategical reserve for a rainy day.
