thesawtaHuh? This is not a 60% keyboard. There's tons of 60% keyboards around, even here on massdrop. The whole point of this keyboard IS the arrow keys in a small form factor.
What you are observing are not quirks, it's a 65% keyboard and unfortunately there are too few of them. Most compact keyboards with arrow keys also have function keys (tenkeyless category) and most keyboards without function keys lack arrow keys (60% category).
There's very little available for people that want arrow keys but no function keys row, so don't bash a keyboard that's a actually one of the best in its category.
You are looking in the wrong category, go here instead if you want a 60% keyboard, it's still active: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/v60-mini-mechanical-keyboard Massdrop has had drops for other 60% keyboards, such as the Poker, the Pure, and others.

sordnaAh, thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that 65% was a thing. I was looking at the V60 but I really am not a fan of backlit.

WaddleIt just seems a bit silly to pay for a feature that I have no intention of using, you know? I suppose I could de-solder them but it just seems like a bit too much effort for the end result.

I really want to get a 60% keyboard but the little quirks on this one just seem like they would drive me crazy...I'm sure it's a good board, but if I'm going to invest that much into a board I want to make sure it's EXACTLY what I want. Maybe next time!
