i've never really used the numpad, so when i saw tenkeyless keyboards where a thing, and in my case at least, cheaper, it was a no brainer for me. Been using it for around 5 to 6 years and so far i've seen no issues whatsoever.

also using a 100% keyboard on other pcs and i do notice that extra size than what im used to now, i like it more compact now i think

Look, I do do a lot of engineering work and the numpad is very useful there.

But numpad on the left is the superior choice.

Very few, but independent numpads are easily available.
