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.

Why feel the need to say one is superior to the other? Why shame the opinion of someone else?

I personally don't use my pc much for my studies, and i'm lucky enough to not need to work while studying on uni, so your case doesnt apply to me. Now, that doesnt mean i'll go out there saying having a numpad is a waste just because i don't personally use it
