One decent reason is that it brings the mouse closer, so you can move your hand over more quickly and are more likely to find the right keys when moving the other way.
That’s a fair point, and why I have a TKL instead of full size. The reason I wouldn’t consider the % ones is being able to sit at any keyboard for work, friends, in public, relatives, etc and not worry about typos due to the slight placement differences. It’s quite frustrating.
Why do I need it to be compact? Neither my desk nor my fingers are changing sizes.
