📐 Layout Guide — Is This the Right Size For You?

LayoutTenkeyless (80%)
KeysNo dedicated number pad

TKL keeps arrows, the function row and navigation keys while removing the number pad. It is a balanced size for work and gaming.

Good fit if

  • You want more mouse room than full-size.
  • You still need arrows and navigation keys.
  • You do not use a number pad every day.

Consider another size if

  • You rely on spreadsheet number entry.
  • You want the smallest possible keyboard.
  • You need a numpad for daily work.
