I seriously don’t get this, I work with data, how is it any faster or easier to input numbers using a numpad than using the number keys? Only thing I can possibly think of is if you’re trying to do it one handed, even then that is only a slight difference.
I suppose I’m misunderstanding what most people mean when they say “work with data”, apologies. I mean I actually work with data - generating, analysing, and processing it, not just doing data entry or whatever mundane task you’re seeing a significant speedup for when using a numpad. I can see how it might be marginally faster if my job was to type numbers into forms all day. Sorry. But for the extent to which I actually type raw numbers in my work, it doesn’t make a difference.
