Besides being more compact, there is no difference between this version and a full-size keyboard. One rarely-seen version is to include all the keys that a full-size keyboard has, but it removes the space between different key clusters such as the home clusters and the numpad. There are mainly two types of keyboards which are both considered as 1800 compact or 96% size. That is mainly the reason for compact keyboards appearing in recent days.įull Size - 104 keyboard: the standard full-size keyboard (Photo: Ajazz AK35I)įull Size - 108 keyboard: the 108-key includes extra 4 media keys on the top right corner compared with the 104 keyboard (Photo: Niz Plum X108) For those who might need to travel with a keyboard, the full-size keyboard is also heavy to carry. One drawback of a full-size keyboard is that it is taking too much space on the desktop.
#STANDARD KEYBOARD LAYOUT MECHANICAL FULL SIZE#
If you haven't tried any mechanical keyboard before, the full size version is a good choice to start a transition. It comes from the traditional size with all alphabets, function keys, cursors keys, modifiers, and a numeric keypad, which is almighty for both gaming and working. All keys are in the standard size with large 2.25x & 2.75x shift keys, a 6.25x space bar, and all the modifiers at the bottom row are 1.25x, big enough to avoid mistyping. The most common size is probably the full size keyboard with 104 or 108 keys. When digging a little more into it, some might be confused about how come an 82-key keyboard is called a 75% keyboard! Now we are going to sort it out here. When we enter the rabbit hole of the mechanical keyboard in the first place, we can always find some description about the size: sometimes it is an abbreviation like TKL, and some others are percentages or numbers like 65% or 68 (which is usually the number of keys).
