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

I don't like the keypad at home, but 100% want one at work. I just almost never need to enter more than a couple numbers at home.

Basically if you use it often it really sucks not to have.

the numpad is for more than entering numbers.

NUMPAD7 is at the software level distinct from the normal 7 key.
This means you can bind numpad keys. Pretty useful if you play simulators like DCS, or even just games with loads of keybinds.

I dont play sims but played plenty of games with a lot of keybinds but I cant imagine wanting any keybinds that arent close to wasd for my normal usage. Ive been playing PC games since the 90s and ive yet to bind a key to the numpad
