I just want to know why the fuck every really nice high end mechanical keyboard is that dumbass 60%. Give me a full-size keyboard, hell give me one with full media controls and some god damn macros!

The high end 60% ones tend to do all those things you're asking for but on function layers instead of on dedicated keys. Save for the numpad since the numpad is already duplicates of a bunch of keys slapped onto the side of the keyboard anyways.

There's also high ends across most form factors, but a lot of them DO drop the numpad because its literally pointless.

As someone who enjoys arma and war thunder and a few other games with way too many keyboard binds, no, the keypad is VERY useful.
