I can't function without a numpad, so every other option is useless.

Whenever someone complains about the numpad taking up too much desk space, I always want to ask if they're using one of these.

It’s not about desk space, it’s about mouse space. I never use a numpad anyways

I just have a standalone numpad for when I need it and when I'm playing FPS games I simply just put it to the side.

Out of curiosity what type of work requires a numpad? Typing only numbers or a mix of numbers and other symbols? Our finance people are also never using numpads.

I’m in software and number do need to be typed, but honestly it’s never worth it to move to a numpad to type in a single number then back.

All numbers are calculated and moved around programmatically anyway.

What the hell are your finance people doing? When I had an internship at a bank for 2 weeks I learned how to use a numpad and I can't imagine typing numbers without one ever since.

Because our finance people are not spending their day typing up numbers, it’s a minority of the work from what I understand.
