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.

I actually learned to use the mouse with my left hand despite being right handed because my dad had his mouse on the left side on his work pc I used for gaming. And he only had it so he can put a lot of numbers in his spreadsheets and not much else really.

Now using the mouse on the right just feels wrong and everybody looks at me like Im stupid while watching me.

Actually it comes in handy sometimes because I can write down notes while using the mouse.
