I've been using 60% keyboards for the past number of years (Filco Minila (MX Brown) and KBP V60 (Matias Quiet Click). Both of these keyboards allowed me to have the keyboard layout I like - specifically ANSI and to have the Ctrl key to the left of 'a' (- the traditional UNIX layout). This Filco Stingray TKL keyboard has the same option, selected by pressing a Fn+F10 option for 1 second (rather than having to fiddle with dip switches). It also has none of the key layout compromises that the 60% boards have. The key switches are new to me - MX low profile red. It still feels like a mechanical keyboard - the key travel and feel very different from a typical laptop keyboard. It sounds a bit louder than the Matias Quiet Click with a different sonic quality - more of a quiet thud. Its a lot quieter than the MX Brown. In my opinion it is a satisfying to type on as either of these keyboards. It also looks good in an understated way - matt black with front printed legends. It has a bit of heft so I won't be carrying it around much - the V60 was much better for that. As an english speaker, one area for improvement mightbe the instruction sheet. It does have and English section but parts of the sheet in other languages suggest there may be more info to be gleaned. How many instructions do you need to use for a keyboard though? I hope to use this keyboard for some time to come.
