Glad to know I'm in the clear with my little 40%. Or is my mental so disordered that its come full circle back to an actual keyboard?

[–] [email protected] 110 points 1 week ago (12 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I downsized a while back due to switching to a smaller desk, and it does feel weird.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I can input lots of numbers very fast without looking down with a num pad. I cannot do that with the number row. I have to look down at some point and it's much slower.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly. For me it's closer to 40 years and I don't think I ever used the number pad more than ten times. Tenkeyless is just better, unless you're an accountant.

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“To use this feature, simply press the F213 key.”

Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

That analogy is a work of art. So casually out of pocket

100% or bust!

Get a larger desk. No way I'm typing numbers not on a keypad

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pulling my separate numpad out when I know I'll be entering a lot of numbers. Or reach over to it when I enter a PIN from muscle memory. Otherwise I toss it to the side.

I don't need the numpad. But no function keys? That's insane.

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week 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.

Long live the numpad!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

I was a cashier, then a bookkeeper during the time when both heavily used the "10-key" and got really fast at touch typing numbers. Not as fast now, but I would be absolutely lost without it for spreadsheets, calculations, etc. I wouldn't even consider a keyboard without one!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I went from a 100% membrane to a 60% mechanical, then a ~63% (think the 60% one but ONLY with extra arrow keys) then to a tenkeyless minus some of the useless keys, now to a full tenkeyless one

Here's what I have. Honestly it's perfect.

The thing I use is the best thing

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I disagree, you see, it is the thing that I use that is clearly the best thing.

Where is my 130% keyboard?

MORE IS MORE!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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 1 week 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!

I have a split 40% because I type for a living and normie keyboards destroy my wrists.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?

The fuck do you people need the num pad on your daily driver? Are you all deviant accountants or retro computer enthusiasts typing in code from magazines?
