Editing Compact keyboard

{{stub}}

'''Compact keyboard''' can refer to any of a number of small keyboard designs that are typically smaller than a [[tenkeyless keyboard]]. One of the most common sizes of compact keyboard is the [[60%]] keyboard, which comprises only the alphanumeric area of the standard keyboard.

==Well-known sizes==

*[[75%]] — historically the most common size, and widely available commercially; the term "75%" was introduced more recently, but the design principle itself long pre-dates the term, and keyboards in this form factor are more commonly known as "compact" as a result
*[[65%]] — a 60% keyboard with dedicated arrow keys.
*[[60%]] — probably the best-known size by name, 60% keyboards are a modern development that has also produced a number of commercially-made products
*[[40%]] — ultra-small, usually community-made keyboards. Commercial models are starting to show up. The layout of 40% keyboards varies widely.
