Long live the numpad!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I have a full-sized and a 96%. I don't know how people live without a numpad. Even my laptop has a numpad. I don't do excel shit. But at work I have to enter alot of phone and CC numbers. At home I use the numpad for rating photos when sorting and importing them.

I don't know how people live without a numpad

Simple, they don't need to do all those specific things you use yours for!

Me playing modded Minecraft:

What was the disable jetpack button again?

I've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.

I’m gonna catch some heat…. But I gotta speak my truth - this is all I need. I game, I program, I have 2 function keys that change the layout and provide access to any keys not physically present.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

You do you man. We all got different hands and preferences and physical dimensions, as well as different usable desk space. It's silly to draw lines in the sand about peripherals. Personally, I like my giant gaming keyboard with macro keys and whatnot. I program the extra keys to do things as needed. But I wouldn't force that on anyone who wants a smaller form factor. Hell now we can even get picky on how much actuation force, key travel, and sound of key press. A keyboard for every preference!

The 96% actually looks reasonable

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.

[–] [email protected] 109 points 3 days ago (13 children)

I literally will not ever daily use a keyboard if it doesn't have a number pad.

Any time I'm forced to temporarily use anything without a num pad I feel like I'm driving a car that's missing half it's steering wheel or something. It just feels wrong.

Ah yes, the klingon keyboard. Goes on the armrests of the captains chair.

Look, I’m not an accountant, I don’t need a numpad.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I worked retail in the late 90s-00s, and whenever I have to type in a string of digits longer than three I regret my tkl.

My cat, however, enjoys the extra real estate on the desk.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I love this meme, but I feel like including TKL in the circle would be a little more fitting. I know I'm a little biased for being a TKL user, but they really aren't that esoteric. Every key is where you expect it. It just doesn't have a numpad.

If I could I would have two tiers and pedals like an organ master

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Beautiful! Thank you!

"He said the truth", but they hated him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I've been trying a 75% tenkeyless but I do miss the number block haha. I really want to switch to a split ergo though, but it's a bit of investment to learn and configure.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Anything without a numeric pad is specifically for children.

While I love my full-sized keyboard, respectfully - who cares. The whole idea of a PC is the freedom to use whatever you want.

Keyboards, controllers, speech to text, a wii-mote, literal bananas/bread, eye/blink trackers, whatever suits you best. Insisting there's a best device for everyone doesn't change people's minds and just leads to hostility when we should be glad more people are using the device that makes them happy. One day you might be one of them when your circumstances or preferences change.

I spent 30 years thinking someday I'd start using the number pad and then finally gave up. I like having the typing part centered more.

You have left out galaxy brain giant IBM model M. (Not more keys, but thicc keys.)

It's not just the size. It's also the way the sound of typing will bother everyone else in the room.

How about the superior 122 key Model F

Calling a 96% a mental disorder says more about you, OP than a friggin keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Used full sized all my life, went TKL a month ago and love it, probably never go back to full size. I barely use the numpad on my personal pc anyways.

Fuck all the gatekeeping, choose whichever you like.

A keyboard without a numpad is like a cock without a foreskin.

Stupid as fuck, but some people don't know any better
