Editing 60% (section)

==Design==
60% keyboards omit the [[numeric keypad]] of a full-size keyboard, and the [[navigation cluster]] of a [[tenkeyless keyboard]]. The [[function key]] row is also removed; the escape key is consequently moved into the number row. This leaves the area of the keyboard from the number row down to the space bar and modifiers row, and from tab on the left to backspace and enter on the right. The arrow keys are sometimes squeezed in, as with the [[Filco Minila]] and [[KBT Pure Pro]], but in most cases they are omitted.

Access to all the missing functionality—especially function and navigation keys—is achieved by way of one or more [[Fn key]]s.

The compact layout allows for virtually all the keys to be within the reach of the typist's fingers, removing the need to reach for specific keys on other areas of the keyboard. The small size also results in a far more portable keyboard; as such, they are also more likely to feature a detachable cable.
