Compact wireless keybaord but with seperate pgup/pgdn/home/end?

I'm looking for a wireless chicklet keyboard (either bluetooth or RF) which is compact but has separate page up, page down, home and end keys. Most seem to have either no cluster at all for these keys (and instead rely on a function key with the arrow keys) or are a full sized keyboard including the numpad.

The keyboard needs to be fairly compact and small, hence not wanting a numpad. But I hate having to use a function key with the arrow keys to achieve navigation.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Do a search for bluetooth mechanical. There are a few options out there that fit the bill.

Something like the Varmilo VB87M?

Trying to narrow it down. Something like that but not mechanical, more like laptop / scissor action?

Logitech K360 wireless, Rapoo E9070?

Thanks both. I do prefer typing on a mechanical keyboard at home. But I wanted the laptop style keys (yes scissor action) for this one as I suspect a mechanical keyboard will be heavier and noiser. I want this to be portable and it may be used in an evironment with other people.

I've recently moved to a laptop again as my main machine and it may be used with it. But equally importantly we're moving to hot desks at work soon and I don't particularly wnat to use communal mice and keyboards. So a small portable and light keyboard to use there too would be ideal.

Thanks for the Logitech K360 suggestion. I did take a look at Logitech as I've liked their keyboards in the past (I have a full size K750) and didn't see the K360 for some reason. It seems worth a further look, as does the Rapoo E9070. Thank you.

There seems to be K360 ISO and ANSI layouts. Typically, I prefer ISO, just something to keep in mind.

Thanks, will do.
