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?

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!

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.

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.

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

[–] rowdyrockets@lemm.ee 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days 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!

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.

The 96% actually looks reasonable

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

[–] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?

Look, I’m not an accountant, I don’t need a numpad.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 55 points 4 days ago (12 children)

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.

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.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 55 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

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.

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 58 points 4 days ago (3 children)

How about the superior 122 key Model F

[–] don@lemm.ee 30 points 4 days ago (5 children)

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

(moves finger around for five minutes searching)

Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)

"He said the truth", but they hated him.

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (2 children)

100% or bust!

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

The thing I use is the best thing

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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

Sorry I have a TKL with a separate numpad that does not get much use.
