I have 2 keyboard that come in my mind and come in different form factor. 

 

Glorious Gmmk TKL = $115

Or

Kemove Snowfox 61 = $76

These are my country price, Malaysia. 

 

They both are compact and small and idk which one to choose. I don't use arrow keys, num pad, pg up or down etc. Need Help!!!

If you dont use arrow keys or the pg keys, then get the 60%. Even though I use a TKL, I see the large appeal for a 60% because of its size. The only downside would be the no arrow keys, but as you said, you don't use them anyway.

But do you use the F-keys?

If no: get something 60%

If yes: get something 75%

60% then.

I mainly play fps but also MMO too. Doing work from PC as well. I'd really miss dedicated prt scr, del, pgup, pgdw,, home, end, arrow keys, F keys and ESC too. 

TKL saves decent amount of space, even though num pad wouldn't be in the way for my fps play. Still 60% max space saving.

Are you taking it with you most of the time, then i would go with the 60%. Is it mainly at your desk, the tkl one. The tkl has the f row witch is used is some games. Maybe that wil chance your look in to it.

I would go 60% ... the snowfox is quite a nice keyboard ... anyway there's always the secondary layer that you can access with the FN key ... so those key are not lost forever, you just have to press a combination of key.

 

I have the two keyboard you are looking for ... I'm using the gmmk way more but it's because of the arrow key ... and for me those F keys a totally useless and I would like a hot swap board with the drevo calibur v1 layout ... or maybe a 65% ... anyway you can't go wrong with either of those boards
