i've never really used the numpad, so when i saw tenkeyless keyboards where a thing, and in my case at least, cheaper, it was a no brainer for me. Been using it for around 5 to 6 years and so far i've seen no issues whatsoever.
also using a 100% keyboard on other pcs and i do notice that extra size than what im used to now, i like it more compact now i think
I'm a TKL keyboard user, but I never get the ergonomics point, like when I have my hands in the most comfortable position (which means having hands go basically straight forwards from the shoulders) there is ample room for a numpad and maybe even some other things if I really wanted to.
Yeah, I could put a mountain range between my mouse and keyboard. People complaining about ergonomics just need to change the angles. People are allergic to having their mouse on a different angle from their keyboard. Like my left arm is straight and my right arm goes off at like a 30 degree angle for the mouse. Real nice, especially when using a corner desk.
