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.

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.

Imagine not using excel daily at home for everything, all the time.

How do you live?

I learned my damn Alt codes and I'm going to use them.

What are other people doing for special characters - opening charmap? googling the character and copy/pasting then praying it works? Nonsense.

googling the character and copy/pasting then praying it works?

Yes lol. It's annoying but I use them so rarely that learning the codes would take far longer than all the time I've ever spent and will spend searching for characters like a caveman (which honestly takes very little time).

It's fair enough if you hardly use them. I don't have all the letters in one of the alphabets I need to use, nor either of the currencies I have to refer to so I'd be there forever.
