[help] I have been thinking about getting a 60% keyboard, but I am worried about the lack of arrow keys. I am just wondering how you use the arrow keys, and if you find it harder or more inconvenient compared to normal arrow keys?
It requires some retraining of your muscle memory. I find it inconvenient, but then I use a TKL 95% of the time and didn't really put in the effort.
To use the arrow keys, you hold down Fn and press one of the other keys. It might be WASD, IJKL, HJKL or something like that.
You can get a 65%, something like the Magicforce 68 or Leopold FC660.
You could also opt for a 60% with dedicated arrow keys but you're going to have a hard time finding different Keycaps because all the 60%s with dedicated arrows will have non-standard spacing.
u/koduh has a really amazing guide with a list of 65% keyboards as well as 60%s with dedicated arrow keys here:
