Is there something you're missing from time to time? Like arrow keys? Or dedicated delete key? F row? If so, in what situations? Or is everything golden?
I'm looking for a keyboard more compact than my current TKL, and a 65% layout looks best to me, but there are simply so many more 60% keyboards available so I'm starting to consider one, but I'm not yet convinced...

When I first got a pc (A couple of years ago) it came with a 60% keyboard because the pc was prebuilt. I used it for a little bit, but quickly switched to a 65%, and then later a 70%. The size difference between a 60% and a 65/70% isn’t that much of a difference and I would much rather sacrifice a little bit of space for the f keys and extra features like a volume dial or something. I would love any input to the benefits of a 60%.
I just finished building my PC and I have a really old mouse & keyboard. I’d love to upgrade to something nice preferably with a backlit keyboard. Does anyone have some recommendations that won’t kill the bank?
I have just ordered a mechanical 60% keyboard.
Waiting it to be shipped, I was curious to see typical usage experience, so I looked for some videos on youtube. But I did not fine anything! A lot of reviews, where they press only few keys, just to hear the sound. Anyone know about a video with "real life typing" on a 60% keyboard?
That's the one I bought.
Hello All,
Am about to jump down the rabbit hole :)
Looking for a 60% Keyboard to start (Second hand, or new).
Ideally a board that is the most 'universal' custom wise, so that I can play with switches, layouts, keys, etc... until I find my favourite feel, and eventually move on to another board.
Use: Mainly Typing and writing, no gaming mostly.
Must have:
Mac Os Compatible
Good Quality and trusted brand (Respected by the community, good support or doc available)
2.4ghz and wired. Good Solid Minimal Body (Clean Look, wired/wireless switch outside the body?)
Compatible with Via (This seems the way to go?)
Switches - Comfortable (not too much pressure), smooth?
Sound Profile - Rain sounds good indeed, but comfort prevails.
Keycaps?, is Cherry the way? (I guess this relates to board profile, etc)
Am thinking of starting on the lower profile side for comfort? Are round edges more important for the case?
your recommendations are welcome.
Been using apple keyboards for the last 20 years ;)
Many thanks!
Y.

Recently I’ve been hearing people say that they hate 60% keyboards for some reason and I’ve been looking around on the internet recently from posts and YouTube videos I’ve not seen any post using them. Personally I like the fact that it’s very small and has all the keys that I use. Do people no longer like 60% keyboards?
Why are these better than the TKL or full size keyboards? I have kind of fallen in love with the pok3r RGB but it is expensive where I live any other good TKL or 60 presents
Hey everyone, I just recently got an Aula F75 with the graywood v3 switches from amazon. Absolutely love the keyboard, and especially love the way it sounds and feels. Only thing is, I really like the 60% form factor and was hoping you guys could guide me in the right direction. I'm basically looking for a 60% equivalent to the Aula F75 in terms of sound/feel. I know they have the Aula F65 but I'd still prefer a true 60%. Appreciate any help in advance!
As someone who loves their full keyboard, I'm curious as to why so many people use 60% or smaller keyboards.
Smaller keyboards have all sorts of benefits. More desk space, easier to carry around, less hand movement while still being able to access all the functionality, aesthetics, the list goes on.
because
-
i like my mouse to be right there where a 100% has it's numpad;
-
i like being able to bring my keyboard with me everywhere and it's so much easier if it's 60%;
-
since i've learned touch typing i hate everything that would make me take hands of the main position;
-
i'm not an accountant;
-
i've dreamed of using ijkl as arrow keys since... well, seems like forever;
-
keycap sets are a bit cheaper that way (wink);
-
i like compact, minimalistic stuff doing more with less;
might have forgotten some of less tangible "becauses" =)
I want to get a 60 percent keyboard for Christmas and i was wondering what good keyboard a suggestion i got from my friend was the wormier k61 and the gamakay k61 i wanted to know what you think about these ones and any suggestions you guys have for a keyboard i should get
Your budget and personal preferences would be the main drivers to your selection. I would suggest getting a board that allows “screw-in” stabilizers and “hotswap sockets” just so you have the option to try out different stabilizers and switches down the road.
I have personally never really liked the smaller keyboards as the keys are smaller and I have the tendency to hit the wrong buttons and the FN keys where awkward placed. But steelseries made a version with normal sized keys and a good FN layout that works great for me. It’s really great and my typing skills are not hindered.
Unfortunately it is quite expensive and it is not something the community really fancy here. I think it’s great and personally would recommend. I bought mine on a discount and not full price.
But my key takeaway (pun intended) is that you need to think about how the secondary keys or functions are placed and if the keycaps are the right size for you. You will be using the FN key and shortcut a lot since it’s a small keyboard - so maybe try some of them out before buying?
So I recently got super into laptop gaming, I had the nitro and recently upgraded my whole setup. I ended up buying a 2024 m16 r2 Alienware.
Anyways I wanted a 60% keyboard. So without doing any research I went and bought the Logitech pro x 60… and it’s not a bad keyboard…it honestly feels cheaply made and there’s no customization. Plus for the price… after using it for awhile and watching lots of YouTube videos on different brands. I was super unhappy with it. Idk if Wooting, ducky, keychron, Corsair are what I should be looking at but I definitely wanna get into an actual pro gaming 60% keyboard.
Now that being said I’m willing to spend around 200$-300$ and I want customization. Volume knobs/dials, Metal cases, custom switches and key caps. I just don’t know where to start 🤷♂️
Bluetooth or wireless dongle isn’t super important but i figure most keyboards nowadays that’s kinda standard.
This is my first Reddit post so hopefully I explain everything right!! Thanks for the help!!
I am buying a new keyboard and im stuck between 2 main options. I have a <100$ budget My 2 main options are the Aula F75 or the Razer Huntsmen mini(getting it for $80)
need a advice doesnt need be wireless
Hey r/AskConsumerAdvice, keyboard newb here needing some guidance from the experts! I've been researching smaller form mechanical keyboards and really like the streamlined look of the 60% size.
However, there are SO many different brands and models of 60% keyboards out there. I'm feeling kinda lost trying to determine which one has the best quality and features for the price.
What would you all recommend as the best 60% mechanical keyboard to buy for under $150? RGB lighting would be nice but not 100% necessary. I'd mostly use it for typing and occasional gaming.
I see names like Royal Kludge, Ducky, and Anne Pro 2 thrown around a lot but not sure how they compare or which is best for a first-timer. Any advice would be hugely appreciated! Thank you!
I wanted a 60 percent keyboard to free up some space on my small desk for gaming. I prefer red switches and rgb really isn’t necessary but appreciated. I was looking into the Anne pro 2 but I’m not a fan of wireless. Any advice? My price range is around $100-120.
you can still use the anne pro 2 wired. other options are the pok3r rgb and ducky one 2 mini
The Pok3r is a super solid board for the price. Quick search suggests it's a bit out of your budget but you could get a used one on r/mechmarket for <$100. In fact that's how I got my first board - a Pok3r with MX Clears for €60.
You could also get the non-RGB version with PBT caps for cheaper.
I was wondering if anyone had experience in using a 60 percent keyboard in. Programs like blender photoshop, unity, visual studio etc and weather it lowered your productivity by using a keyboard with less buttons. And if so what type of layer set up do you use. Thank you
