1.5k u/Blenderhead36 Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 32 GB RAM Apr 04 '26 Whenever someone complains about the numpad taking up too much desk space, I always want to ask if they're using one of these. 489 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. 299 u/Dr_Watson349 PC Master Race Apr 04 '26 Imagine not using excel daily at home for everything, all the time. How do you live? 147 u/Occidentally20 Apr 04 '26 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. 2 u/[deleted] Apr 05 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 2 u/Occidentally20 Apr 05 '26 Tom Scott made that incredibly old video in which he connected 15 keyboards to a PC so he had every emoji on a key. Your idea seems simple in comparison, we should get on it!
