Number pads are so comfy, bros.

>>102407940
I use a split keyboard with obviously no numpad, I could program a layer but I still have a dedicated numpad to the right of my keyboard. it goes like this left side of split keyboard, trackball in the middle, right split keyboard, numpad.

I fucking hate those tiny gay faggot keyboards with numpad or even more keys removed.
>hurrr look at my queer as fuck mechanical keyboard with NO BUTTONS
>I only paid 200$ to have NO BUTTONS on this HOMOSEXUAL looking keyboard with LGBTQ colores keycaps
>yes I'm a full time discord troon, how could you tell?
GAY
>>
>>102410187
Paying 200 for a non split keyboard in this day and age is pretty gay desu. These are autistic faggots that get scammed by group buys where they pay up to $500+ to not even get a fully assembled keyboard just to build it because muh metal and sound that normal people don't care about.
All the meme formats are now affordable even wireless minus splits because they are niche and have been expensive since the 90s

I use for non-English latin characters like Ñ
t. done translation work back when you had to memorize altcode number combinations. I guess nowadays you can enable shortcuts to do that by just holding a key

Even for vidya it's useful for gayms with really cluttered keyboard defaults

Yes, you're an exemplary goy, now don't forget to buy these fancy keycaps for 200$

Luckily there are a lot of keyboards on the market and you can buy one that suits your taste! Or lack thereof if you don't like number pads

Grim.

I can touch type 10 digits on the top rows like all the other buttons in the alphabet including special characters, god damnit, just make it stop. It's not even hard, its incrementing, wtf!
>>
>>102407940
it does because i use it
>>
>>102407940
Why can't this fucker be on the left side? It's too far away to use it constantly unless you're doing excel shit or playing roguelikes and is hindering the mouse.

I just remembered my TKL has a numpad layer. Playing roguelikes with it is really weird, but hey it still beats vi keys :D
>>
>>102407940
It belongs on the left side of the keyboard.
>>
>>102407940
I like it because it’s easier to write numbers also I literally bought my keyboard at Walmart.
>>
>>102407940
the color sucks but the numpad is nice.
>>
>>102412388
Or you're fixing PCs/Coding. Entering numbers that way is way faster.
>>
>>102407940
A ton of us learned 10key. If you learned without a 10key you should be faster assuming you type 100wpm plus. Since you dont have to move your right hand around you can do mixed letters to numbers faster. You lose speed swapping from letters to numpad.
T. 10key/numpad user that types faster than i can think.

they should make the rest of the k eyboard like the numpad where the keys are aligned vertically and horizontally
>>
>>102407940
A while ago a modern game asked me to press a key on a numpad and it didn't let me open the settings to change keybindings.

Every decent laptop keyboard is ruined by that.

Numpads are based, ten-keyless trannies deserve to be thrown off buildings for their haram.

laptops can never be good, if I have to use one I attach my unicomp new model m to type laptops are just disgustingly badly designed devices anyone who likes them has brain damage
>>
>>102411469
This.
I require the numpad for ÄÖÜäöüß on a daily basis.
Hell, I even throw a few ëïæè into the mix on occasion for shits and giggles.
Or how about some ?

Arrows! Give me that Alt+24, Alt+25, Alt+26, Alt+27, Alt+29!
>>
>>102424929
There is room in >15" laptops for a standard full 88 key 10keyless keyboard. That is about as good as it gets. Yet no worthwhile OEMs offer than, only their only shitty shitty custom layouts.
>>
>>102424819
That's the worst layout possible. I had Coolermaster keyboard with that layout. It's just another non-standard layout to get used to, one that doesn't translate well when you need to use other systems.

Custom layouts are cancer and should be banned. Either full or tenkeyless, standard layouts, or fuck off.

>>102425478
I disagree, I use a lot of laptops. layout drift is a skill issue only. I can type on anything now, as least anything that uses a western enter key.
>>
>>102420811
I used 10 key almost all my life and only used number pad later in life. 10 key is better for mixed but its also a lot more error prone if you dont have the keyboard visible for whatever reason.
>>
>>102411469
>>102424970
The US International layout is what you are looking for.
>>
>>102407940
It belongs on every keyboard which is used for something besides pure entertainment.
You can immediately deduce that someone is a complete loser if you see them using a keyboard without numpad.

i use it to bind my mounts in guildwars 2
