Read More »Because there are so many different sizes of keyboards some may not know how many keys are on a 60% keyboard. It can be difficult to make sense of the differences between a 60% keyboard, 65% keyboard, 75% keyboard, TKL, and how to determine which will suit your needs. Taking a closer look at one type of keyboard commonly called a 60% may help provide the insight to make an informed decision. 60 percent keyboards are typically mechanical keyboards and are less frequently made as membrane keyboards. The 60% keyboard is becoming more widely used because of its portability when working from home and working in the office. Because it is so compact it is easy to throw in a laptop bag or backpack and bring to a new workspace. There are a decent amount of options and factors to consider when choosing a keyboard, and this remains to be true when looking at different types of 60% keyboards.

Read More »A typical 60% ANSI-derived (American National Standards Institute) layout keyboard has 61 keys on 5 rows. The top row and the second row both have 14 keys, the third row has 13 keys, the fourth row has 12 keys, and the bottom row has 8 keys. While this is technically 59% of a standard 104 key full-size keyboard, there could be a number of variations in the number of keys if a 60% is a custom keyboard, but generally speaking, an ANSI-derived 60% keyboard will have 61 keys and an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) layout could have 61-63 keys. If you are looking for a 60% keyboard with a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) layout you may have a very hard time as there are not a lot of JIS layout mechanical keyboards currently available, and so the options are limited. In comparison, most full-size keyboards have 104, 105, or 108 keys depending on whether they are based on ANSI, ISO, or JIS layouts. Full-size keyboards contain a number pad, function keys, arrow keys, and a home cluster. Since their frames are larger, manufacturers typically fill the keyboards with additional features for marketing purposes. For example, some full-size keyboards even come with media control buttons. Despite the additional features of full-size keyboards, many people choose 60 percent keyboards because they are smaller. 60% keyboards measure approximately 11.5 inches by 4.25 inches making them smaller than tenkeyless keyboards (TKLs). This smaller size gives typists more freedom in how they choose to position the keyboard.
The short answer to that last question is: YES! It's perfectly acceptable and normal for a pianist to look at their hands while they play. An...

Read More »As the options and popularity of 60% keyboards continue to grow, this form factor has found a home for those who don’t have a lot of desk space, who want a portable keyboard, want more freedom of finger position, or are just looking for a small or programmable mechanical keyboard. For those who need a keyboard that’s pre-built and readily available with lots of out-of-the-box features, a TKL or a full-size keyboard may still be the best choice. While the custom 60% keyboard hobby may become very expensive very quickly, there is a large mechanical keyboard community with lots of information, tips, and ideas for builds. Building a custom 60% keyboard could even turn into an enjoyable hobby that gives you the ability to add a personal touch to your keyboard through aesthetics and feel, and allow you to build a one-of-a-kind keyboard.
