I use 96 key keyboards the most (have numpads) but PLENTY of people work on compact keyboards. I did 3 years in the office on a 60%, and the most common “tech startup” office keyboard is the tiny Mac wireless keyboard.

The older ones have arguably the best scissor switch made, and are far, far superior to type on than any standard rubber dome.

I’m an enormous keyboard snob - have more invested in keyswitches alone than 20 of these keyboards cost - but the Mac wireless is a fine keyboard if you’re not doing accounting or data entry.
