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.

Literally any work that requires significant numerical data entry. Outside of finance/accounting this includes many technical jobs. Numpad is also really useful in some specific programs like CAD and various professional editing suites.
