I really like how tiny a 60% keyboard looks, but for me it's just not worth the tradeoff. The distance from mouse to home keys is a good argument, but a 75% keyboard gives you most of that advantage without sacrificing functionality.
Now my only gripe with 75% is that very few of them have the "home" and "end" key directly above the left and right arrow like you have on yourr layout, and that's something I just can't live without. So I'm basically stuck using a Typematrix 2030 for the foreseeable future.
I love building software stuff. I take a special interest in infrastructure, DevOps, cloud-native technologies, backend systems, and how to automate them.

@nicolus First time I've come across a Typematrix 2030 🤩 - Seems like a hell of an experience :)
Just pasting the layout here for reference:
