  • I was team numpad all the way, but then I received a 60% as a gift and I have to say, I’m quite impressed with it.

    It’s pretty decent for gaming, you get more desktop real-estate for your mouse which is a huge plus. I’d also hazard a guess and say that the smaller size is more attractive for the average computer user.

    Now that everything seems to take USB-C it’s really easy to swap out your board for something more suitable for your task. So if you really need a numpad, you can just swap your full size board back in.

    Depending on your use case, you might be surprised how far you can get with a 60%. I thought the lack of arrow keys and F1-12 was really going to bite me, but I can use them easily enough for most cases - but not always. For instance, I wish I could still select text with Ctrl + Shift + arrow/home/end, but that’s out of reach now. But for 99% of my usage, it gets the job done.


  • The other comments explains it in pretty good detail, but when I was learning my teacher explained it sort of like a mnemonic.

    1 + 1 = 2 is read “one plus one equals two”

    1 + 1 == 2 is read “one plus one is equal to two”

    1 + 1 === 2 is read “one plus one is really equal to two”

    And you hit the nail on the head, is that === is type explicit while == is implicit.
