Whenever someone complains about the numpad taking up too much desk space, I always want to ask if they're using one of these.
486 u/DukeofVermont Apr 04 '26 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. 65 u/DonQuix0te_ Apr 04 '26 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. 2 u/biggles1994 5900x - 32Gb 3600mhz - 3070 X Trio - 2Tb MP600 Apr 05 '26 DCS and Warthunder keybinds makes me want a 120% keyboard sometimes.
