Getting a (read: multiple) 60% keyboard really changed my life. It makes a lot more sense for not offsetting the mouse way to the right or the keyboard to the left (as you would with a full size). As well, not having to strain my wrist to hit arrow keys got rid of any pain I had. It's awesome having everything under my hands. I'll definitely follow this 40% project.
- woliveirajr 7y agoThis. Ater having a "centered" keyboard without all those numerical keys, I began to wonder how keyboards still have the same layout even if not everybody uses those nubers on a daily basis.
- toastal 7y agoRepeat this to all laptop manufacturers. I'd rather have better grill speakers and a centered layout than a number pad and speakers under the keyboard.
- kranner 7y agoSame here but with a TKL (80%) keyboard. Using a full-sized keyboard with a mouse had offset my right (mouse) hand enough to give me sharp neck pain after a few hours of use. Switching to a TKL has completely eliminated this neck pain.
- geowwy 7y agoI had the opposite experience. My 60% keyboard ruined my hands with RSI. I strongly recommend Xah Lee's advice to anyone suffering from RSI: http://xahlee.info/kbd/ergonomic_keyboards_index.html http://xahlee.info/kbd/ergonomic_keyboards_index.html In my opinion the ideal setup for people people with RSI is a 80% keyboard, a seperate number pad, and a programmable keypad for commonly used shortcuts.
