Does anyone actually use a 60% or less for programming work? (lemmy.world)

I'm more interested if any of you actually do work on a 60% or below, I see a lot of 40s and a lot of lemmings are devs so do you guys use that for personal or work? No arrow keys? F keys? Home/end? Are you really holding shift+fn+d for end?

The largest keyboard I use is a 65% and I regularly use my smaller 60% also.

I used to have a Vortex Core 40% that I used as my daily driver. Took a few weeks to get used to the extra layers, but once I practiced with it, I became as natural to type on as any other keyboard.

I think 65% is my favorite size, or a modified 60% with arrow keys. Once I went tenkeyless in college, I could never go back. Smaller and smaller is my life now.
