No one I know using a 60% keyboard only uses the 60%. As someone else mentioned, you use things like the fn key.
For my keyboard:
fn + jkli (or fn + wsad) for arrow keys. fn + uo for page up/down. fn + hn for home/end. fn + <number> for f1-12.
I rarely used insert/delete. I never used the number pad. I have my capslock set to be fn.
I was tired of a full sized monster keyboard taking so much space on my desk. At first I tried TKL but enter key placement turned out to be awkward for me, so I switched it out for a 60% since there was going to be a learning curve regardless.

- mypalmike 6y agoYou can just assign the functionality to different keys. Maybe fn with = and -.

- square_usual 6y agoI use a 60% and I find that shortcut easier on the 60 than on a fullsize. I've mapped PgDn to Fn + ; and pressing Ctrl + Fn + ; feels easier than reaching for PgDn with my right hand.

- jonfw 6y agoWhat I really hate about that is that the keyboard isn't centered on my laptop, which means I'm either slightly lopsided on my screen or I'm bending my right wrist at a weird angle
- barkingcat 6y agoI use numberpad extensively, to the point where if you gave me a keyboard with no alphabetical but only num pad, I'd be happy (and use fn keys to get at the rest) It's a change of mindset.
