No you don't
Long live the numpad!
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!
The 96% actually looks reasonable
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.
With the Everest Max you can choose on which side you dock your numpad: https://mountain.gg/keyboards/everest-max/
Me playing modded Minecraft:
What was the disable jetpack button again?
Keeb goes hard ngl
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.
what brand is this? :O asking for a friend
Keychron. Here’s a link to this one: https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k9-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40471030431833
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!
Calling a 96% a mental disorder says more about you, OP than a friggin keyboard.
Look, I’m not an accountant, I don’t need a numpad.
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.
sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.
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
No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?
Beautiful! Thank you!
I'll save y'all the search an tell you it costs about 950€ plus shipping for a 5 kg behemoth of a keyboard. And plus any tariffs, should you live in freedom land and tariffs are currently applicable.
(* freedom sold separately)
peep the horror
Ah yes, the klingon keyboard. Goes on the armrests of the captains chair.
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.
"He said the truth", but they hated him.
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.
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.
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.
The thing I use is the best thing
I disagree, you see, it is the thing that I use that is clearly the best thing.
A keyboard without a numpad is like a cock without a foreskin.
Stupid as fuck, but some people don't know any better
100% or bust!
Get a larger desk. No way I'm typing numbers not on a keypad
Over here loving my 60%. It's all about modifier keys y'all. That 60% actually has all the keys your 130% and more all within reach.
I use a Lily58 for work, and it's excellent. Obviously mine looks much different than the ones on this product page, but it's this layout.
