How often do you use a numpad for gaming?
>>
More than zero, so it's worth having.

Only in two games.

Often.
>>
often enough that I will never even consider buying a tranny keyboard
>>
never, most games don't even use them anyway
>>
any time I have to type numbers
>>
Every day. I use it to switch between classes quickly in tf2.
Also, Blockland was ass
>>
>>730693603
about 3-4 hours of gametime a day.
>>
Never, but you still can't have it fucking keyboard kikes.

I use it for typing numbers not for games

i use it for emulation and shit like RPG maker etc.

use them for every h rpgmaker game pretty often
>>
>>730693603
we used to use it for three players on one keyboard back in the old days
>>
Not often, but I like knowing it's there for me.
>>
Msdos games
>>
>>730693603
I use it for fighting games
>>
>>730693603
I need it for Uplink, the greatest game ever made.
>>
>>730693603
I use an MMO mouse so most of my keybinds are through the numpad even though I don't touch the actual keys themselves.
>>
I play many roguelikes so a lot
>>
>The old Exile games were made during that terrible timeframe in which you can't play them anymore without certain windows emulators
>Numpad controls won't work because of this
Nobody understands my suffering.

Every damn day

Why the fuck did blender build their whole UI around it?
Tempted to get a USB numpad for it
>>
>>730693603
I haven't had a numpad for around a decade
>>
>>730693603
Depends entirely on the game. Most M+KB games don't need it. Some games are more like KB+KB, and that's where the numpad gets a lot of use.
>>
>>730693603
Why is your numpad upside down?? 789 goes on the top row.
>>
Any time I do basic math. I hate keyboards that don't have a numpad
>>
>>730693603
Whenever I play a GTA game since it's the default controls for flying
>>
>>730699396
You can pop they keys out and rearrange them. I thought everyone knew this.
>>
>>730699524
That doesn't change the orientation of the arrows printed on the keys though
>>
>>730693603
All the time, that's how you fly on GTA.

When I'm too lazy to use a controller for my emulated games. I map all face buttons to the number pad, kind of like a Sega Six Pad layout. Secondary Shoulder Buttons sit on 7 and 9. D-pad on WASD.

Got one of these the other day
Pretty good

>>730693603
I used to use it to enter my PIN when I logged into windows and occasionally for hotkeys in other applications while I was gayming
It took me about 3 days to get used to not having one when I bought a smaller keyboard and now I value the extra space for my mouse more

I'm left handed and quite autistic.
I love how everything on the right side is neatly grouped.

Here is a generic example for how I setup every game
>>
>>730693603
>>730700386
I have more options for hotkeys too because the 70% I bought is programmable and the function button is way more useful that way, which is pretty much the only reason I didn't downsize sooner lol
>>
>>730700439
I would be interested in seeing someone who's used to that layout play a game with it, I feel like it'd be really useful in some games

I use both but for different games

>>730700235
I don't always have a controller handy when I have my laptop. Sometimes I'm too lazy to find a USB cable for my controller or unpair it from my living room PC, my laptop or my main rig to use it on another computer. That and I still have a lot of original hardware, so if I want to use a controller, I'll bust out the real system.

Oh neat. Never considered using it like that, thanks anon
>>
I wish I had a separate numpad
it's gay how overpriced they are targeted at keyboard autists tho
>>
>>730693603
My keyboard doesn't have one so never. It's never been prohibitive not to have one so I'm good without.
>>
>>730693603
I play a ton of muds, actual dungeon crawlers and actual roguelikes so about 75% of the time
>>
>>730699109
why not just get a non-tranny keyboard that's actually made for productivity
>>
>>730700235
turn based rpgs feel better on a keyboard
>>
>>730700817
There's a difference between being in the mood for some Megaman and being in the mood to have a Super Nintendo nostalgia kick.
>>
>>730701014
It's great for productivity, if you're a programmer, which is my day job
It sucks for Blender which is my hobby
>>
>>730700439
It's awkward for a left hand unless you put your keyboard way off to the side. And the big gap in the middle is basically wasted space. Arrow keys, Num0, Num., and NumEnter are the GOAT left-handed hentai RPG layout though.
>>
I used to use it when I was into MMORPGs but nowadays I just use it for accounting since I'm used to dialing up numbers on a calculator.
>>
Loadout quickswitching in TF2 and for playing SFX through soundpad
>>
>>730701102
This is true anon, you're right

1 to select courier/7 to open shop on dota2
and ultra scuffed multiplayer on snes emulator with the cousins using a single keyboard.

You do something that is not playing vidya with your PC, don't you, anon?

All the fucking time in Warframe and Elite dangerous.

Also for side scrollers.

I often use it for typing numbers and it's a fairly good place for binding different actions in games
>>
>>730693603
Basically never. When I used to play ARMA/DayZ everyday. That's why I keep it on the left-side of my keyboard or don't have it at all.
>>
>>730693603
>bri'ish numpad
Cringe
>>
>>730693603
Its pretty much essential when I play Mech games or Roguelikes. Outside those two genres not much.
>>
>>730693603
I've only ever used that shit for mods. Lately, I'm only using it to control the free cam for the sf6 ultrawide mod.
>>
Keyboards without a numpad are a shitty fad
>>
>>730693603
everyday, free extra keybinds
>>
>>730693603
I only ever use it when I need to type a bunch of numbers for any reason. Not really for gaming
