If you're wondering why the Razer Huntsman Mini 60% Wired Keyboard has "60%" in its name, it's because it has omitted the function buttons, numpad, and arrow keys of a regular keyboard, so its 60% smaller. Easy.

With this reduced, compact size, the keyboard will free up space on your work desk so you'll have room for more computer accessories like speakers.

Additionally, the extra room allows your mouse to be moved more freely so you can pull off faster and more precise headshots in shooters like Call of Duty or Overwatch, without having a keyboard getting in your way.
