For those who switched from 100% or TKL to 65% or 60%: How was the adaptation? Do you miss something from a more "complete" layout?

another one here, went from full size to 60%, numpad was useless and hardly used it since the keyboard had the number row, all those keys above the arrow keys that say anything other than delete and F keys are relics from yesteryear that are not useful on modern computers as far as I’m concerned, and arrow keys are fine on a function layer imo.

My first 60% was hhkb, was up and running within a few days with almost no issues, although over time I’ve found I prefer a full size right shift since that’s the one I use.

Agree with the people above, I can appreciate a TKL because it just looks good on the desk and feels so spacious. 60% and TKL are pretty much the only form factors I’ll buy anymore, 65% is like 60% but ugly with random keys on the right, 75% is silly because why would I ever want F keys and they always look way too busy, full size is too big to be ergonomic and has two sets of numbers for some reason, and smaller than 60% is just too much work to remember the layers for me
