60% Keyboard recommendation

Hi 

 

There are many 60% keyboards available on the market, and the right one for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. Some popular options include the Ducky One 3 Mini, as well as the Vortexgear Pok3r and the Anne Pro 2.

If you're looking for a high-quality keyboard that is well-built and has a good reputation, the Ducky One 3 Mini is a solid choice. It has a compact size, customizable RGB backlighting, and a range of Cherry MX mechanical switch options.

If you're looking for a keyboard with a bit more customization, the Vortexgear Pok3r is a popular choice. It has a customizable layout and a variety of switch options, and it's known for its build quality.

The Anne Pro 2 is another popular 60% keyboard that has a compact size and customizable RGB backlighting. It also has a variety of switch options and supports Bluetooth connectivity, making it a good choice for those who want a portable keyboard.

Ultimately, the right keyboard for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. Consider the features and build quality of each keyboard, and read reviews to get a sense of what other users think of them before making a decision.

Have you used a 60% Keyboard before? I'd recommend trying one out in a store if you can. 

I have a few 60% but theyre terrible for productivity beyond gaming. Having to use Fn keys for all the extra keys outside of the basics. 

If its just for gaming its fine but if youre doing development, working on it, etc...it can be a PITA. 

 

At work I use my 70% which is a really good balance. I use a Royal Kludge RK71. My RK61 (60%) is just to annoying to access all the keys. 

 

Heres the RK61: https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Ultra-Compact-Programmable/dp/B0731CJ4ZJ

vs the RK71: https://www.amazon.com/ROYAL-KLUDGE-Connectivity-Individually-Functionality-Brown/dp/B0BCFQ7FSL

 

Not a big difference in foot print, but much more user friendly. 

 

Heres a comparison between my 80%, 70% and 60%

I'll be using it for gaming and occasionally programming, the reason I'm looking for 60% is because I have a very limited space but I'll consider the 70% since it doesn't look any bigger than the 60%
