HI, Sorry to put this in a component section, however there were no ''keyboard'' sections so....

Anyway i'm wondering if I should get a 104 key keyboard or a tenkeyless. The tenkeyless keyboard to me just seems so small and weird when I will be playing games. However, i hardly use the number pad on a 104 key keyboard, however it seems larger which seems more comfortable. I'm wondering which i should get and if the 104 key keyboard is bad for you health (Shoulder wise)
Thanks!

i don't know who makes the best cheap keyboards. I don't really look at them a lot unless I need one and I generally spend as much as I can afford as a good keyboard should last you a long time.

It depends on the games you play I guess, many can use the numbpad as direction keys even though there are arrow keys as well. I used to play mmo and setting numbpad up as run meant you could have auto run, saved holding key down

not sure i understand the shoulder aspect

I had a MS keyboard once that had a detachable numbpad, best of both worlds. I did play it mostly without numbpad so I can see benefits of both. Makes it easier to lean a smaller keyboard on your lap - I loved that KB, was really sad when I couldn't replace it with same one.

I prefer more buttons but my current G910 has too many which I never use.

I would go with the 104 key.
Although you say you don't use the number pad, it really can be useful, say, if you were to install a trainer on GTA 5, then you would have to use the NUMPAD. But the main thing that I paid attention to in your question, was the fact that the smaller keyboard feels akward when gaming. Just try to get the most comfortable keyboard that also is functional, even if it has features which you may not use.
In short, go for the 104.
