What is the best cheapest, like $60 or under, tenkeyless mechanical?

What's the answer to this if you add wireless to the criteria?

Keychron, same as always.

If you mean like under $70 and you don't want to build it yourself, there is no answer that I know of.

I just noticed the keyboard in your previous answer has a variant with a detachable cable, that actually meets my needs without full wireless.

EDIT: I guess that version can only use “Wraith” switches which AFAICT are Tecware’s proprietary format.

How annoying is the lack of dedicated arrow keys on a 60% keyboard?

If I were looking for a new daily driver I wouldn’t bother with anything less than a full layout, I use the arrows and numpad way too much at work. But this will see much lighter use, so I can afford to lose some keys in pursuit of smallness. Sounds like arrows would be a step too far though (for me, good on ya to everyone who rolls without ‘em). So minimum 65% would probably be best.
