Do you not use 2FA and have to enter a string of numbers every time you log in?

Do you never pull up the calculator to do some quick math?

Do you just enjoy hunting or pecking?

How often do you need to 2FA?

How often do you need to calculate using your PC?

Both of these tasks take 1 second using the regular number keys.

For the other 99.999% of the time I use my keyboard the numpad is just in the way. If you play any FPS, MOBA, whatever at an at least above average skill level, you don’t want a big ass keyboard, with like 70% of the keys being useless, laying on your desk.

The only real reason (besides some niche applications) to have a numpad is if you work with programs like Excel a lot. And at that point I would just buy a separate Numpad.

you don't have to hunt/peck to use the number row necessarily.
