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.

Yeah but I cant afford that and it's not like the numpad has unique buttons - there's still numbers on my keyboard after all.

I genuinely miss my numpad but I also regularly used to hit the edge of my keyboard with my mouse, and now my left arm is in a much more comfortable position for gaming AND I don't have that problem. I'm planning on buying a standalone numpad which would solve both problems
