60% Keyboard: Architecture and Design60% keyboard: BenefitsWho Should Buy a 60% Keyboard?Frequently Asked QuestionsFinal Thoughts

Now, fast forward to 2021, you can even purchase a wired/wireless keyboard with the color of your choice.

When gaming was in its early stage gaming keyboards were getting bigger and bigger by size but suddenly a trend of 60% of keyboards struck into the Gaming Community.

In the early days, no one would have imagined a gaming keyboard without macro Keys, media buttons, and less complexity.

But it’s possible because of 60% of keyboards.

Do you know why this sudden shift?

Well, because today many Gamers prefer compact and lightweight keyboards.

If you are hearing about 60% keyboard for the first time then you might have many questions in your head.

So that’s why up next. I will be answering all your queries regarding the 60% keyboard. Let’s get started:

60% Keyboard: Architecture and Design

How 60 Percent Keyboards Are Setting a New Trend?
How 60 Percent Keyboards Are Setting a New Trend?

60% keyboard – just as the name suggests, it cuts out 40 percent of a full-fledged keyboard.

Okay, but what is missing from the 60% keyboards?

Well, you won’t see the following keys on it:

  • Arrow keys
  • Function keys
  • System keys, or the number pad.

Since the absence of important function and system keys. These types of keyboards do not even work on some computers.

However, all this does not mean you cannot get a 60% keyboard without these keys.

YOU CAN!!

There is no standard layout of 60% keyboard. And that is what I love about them.

You can get them as per your requirement.

If you look over the web you will find many 60% keyboards with dedicated number keys, arrow keys, or even function keys.

60% keyboard: Benefits

Okay. Now that you know the basics of a 60% keyboard

It is time to let you know its benefits.

Once you know about these benefits, you can decide whether to buy it or not all by yourself.

Let’s get started:

If you are a gamer with a limited set of space, then a 60% keyboard can definitely benefit you in many ways. With no function keys, arrow keys, or even number keys, these keyboards are quite Compact and lightweight in size. So, when you place it in tight spaces, then you wouldn’t even notice that it is there.

Imagine you are eating your food or having some drinks sitting near your keyboard.

There is a high chance that the drink May spill on the keyboard.

To avoid such incidents from happening. What you can do is move your gaming keyboard to a somewhere safe place. But with limited set of space, this would be hard.

The first-ever gaming keyboard, I purchased was a full-fledged one with all the keys intact. Just after six months, I was sick of using it. Do you know why? It weighs near 1 kg.

I don’t know that every 60% keyboard has this but a detachable USB cords can be helpful if you plan to use your keyboard in more than one place.

Who Should Buy a 60% Keyboard?

It doesn’t matter if you are a programmer, gamer, or someone who types a lot in their day-to-day life.

In the end, everything depends on your choice. If you’re OK with lack of arrow, function, system keys, or numpad.

Then go with the 60% keyboard. Initially using it would be a bit challenging task for you.

But with the help of the tactile feel of a mechanical keyboard will make it easy for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I need a 60% keyboard with arrow keys. Can I get it online?

Yeah! You definitely can. In fact, I’ve one keyboard in mind for you. It’s DIERYA DK63 60% keyboard with dedicated arrow keys on Amazon.

Can I get Wrist Rest on a 60% keyboard?

A big NO. A 60% keyboard is known for its compact form factor. So, now it would be foolish to expect a wrist rest support on them. Instead what you can do is go ahead & purchase a dedicated pine wrist support from Amazon.

Final Thoughts

Throughout this post, I seem to be in favor of this new trend of a 60% keyboard.

However, this doesn’t mean that they don’t have any drawbacks.

They certainly have, but

Its benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

That’s all for now.
