only trannies use numpads now

Maybe in opposite land but in real life they make keyboards with as minimal keys as possible.

Blender users.

>>107163384
nah, the trend right now for trannies is fullsize.
They do it for "productivity" purposes even though the only thing they use their keyboard is, is to google child porn

Normal well adjusted people just use a seperate numpad now if they are CAD, Excel or Blender users

It's just more comfy than the top row, the inclusion of numbers on which was a mistake, it should only exist for special characters

Carmageddon 2 has camera controls hardcoded onto the arrow keys, how the fuck am I supposed to play it without a numpad?

>>107164176
I don't know but Carmageddon 2 fucking rules, it had a damage system a decade ahead of its time.

Me. Because I'm used to it from some years of data entry, and I use blender and play rogue likes, and still have a stack of old keyboards.
If you're not moving your keyboard around a lot I dunno why you'd want a separate numpad. How small is your desk?

>>107164366
NTA but if you compare similar versions the difference between full-size and TKL is literally less than $5

>>107163362 (OP)
More keys = more gooder. Literally the main advantage of being an ESL is that the keyboards in my country have 3 more keys than burger keyboards. Chopped up keyboards are the worst. Keyboards should be getting bigger and gaining more functionality over time.

data entry is vastly accelerated with a numpad.
also, programs like blender use the numpad to great effect.

this, i specifically don't use the numpad for nethack because it hurts my hand to navigate and requires constant back and forth hand motion between all the other commands of the game

>>107163362 (OP)
Carmageddon and MK1.

Blender, more keys for binds in random games I occasionally need, shit like that. Have never had a keyboard-mouse space issue so may as well have it.

Scroll wheel, mainly because I did not know that is what end and home did. Thanks for the tip.

>>107165698
you're welcome anon
I guess I'll drop a few more nuclear tips on you while I'm here
when editing text, home and end more your cursor to the beginning and end of the line, respectively
when editing text, ctrl+home and ctrl+end more your cursor to the beginning and end of the entire text
if you hold shift while doing any of the above, instead of just moving your cursor, it will highlight text too

i work in tax software. when i have to recreate the accountants workflow for testing or whatever the numpad is actually v useful

>>107166238
I've always (since the early 2000s) used the arrow keys instead of wasd myself
numpad is convenient in that you have dedicated diagonal keys so you can't mess up, which can get you killed in roguelikes and such

>>107163366
slice off your dick, slice off your numpad

Wfym "no"? The large one is the price for the special edition, the small one is the price for the cheap version. If you want the special edition of the small one that's $139.99 vs $144.50 for the full size one.

>>107165027
There is no reason to use the US English layout when the US international layout exists btw. It's the same exact layout, except the right Alt key is now called Alt Gr and you get two entire new layers full of ümläüts, currencies (¥), Greek letters (μ), and weird shit like ™®⅘÷±«¿¶n

There are end and home buttons above the arrow keys.
Also page up and page down.

Just use the TKL10LESS code and it's 10% off which is about right. Still, that extra length is just a fraction of the price. The extra switches are like 2 usd, add plastic, even 4 bucks is easily explained.

I use the numpad all the time for excel stuff. I'd prefer to have a keyboard where I could unplug the numpad, but for now I just use two otherwise identical filco keyboards at home and throw one of them under the monitors depending on what I'm doing. I've tried using a separate numpad, but I oscillate between letter keys and numpad, and not having them physically linked with consistent spacing drives me nuts.

this sort of shit makes me wish we just had full 'streamdeck' keyboards. imagine you go into cad,blender,vscode... any program and instead of having a cheat sheet or having the keybind page open searching you just had all the keys light up and change labels depending on context.

that would cut out the tedium of learning keybinds and make going no mouse so much easier

If you like the way the numpad feels, that is undeniable proof that you prefer ortholinear keyboards. Columnt stagger is even better.

>>107171153
I don't like looking at my keyboard, it makes my neck hurt. But I wonder if there is a software to display that.

>>107163782
If I played that game a lot I would just program a new layer specifically for that game and I would assign the keycodes to positions that make logical sense to me, since they aren't mnemonic anyway.

>>107174807
>I don't like looking at my keyboard, it makes my neck hurt.
It's called "looking with your eyes".

>But I wonder if there is a software to display that.
Onscreen keyboard?... Is this your first time?

It's just faster to type, you can use one hand and don't even need to look at it.
If you do office work and need to type long lines on excel it saves a fucking ton of time.

>>107174807
that's why there are lines on keys F and K, you're supposed to touch them and know where the rest of the keys are

It's f and j. I know how to touch type lol, but that wasn't what he was talking about, he was talking about dynamically displaying the hotkeys according to which program is active.

>>107163366
This is true, but not in the way you think. It's because there are a lot of trans individuals in high-end CAD and programming fields that require the use of a numpad. If anything, it's showing how trans people's autism is requiring them to use a full board.

damn i had no idea. im guessing they were way too early to the market . i feel like the current trend of mechanical keyboards took off around ~2010 and before that even most gamers/programmers just bought the cheapest membrane keyboard at the local store.

i feel like today this trend can take off, starting with gamers/streamers and then spread to the rest of the market.initially just having streamdeck functionality in a regular keyboard but later adding support in games and in programs for the keys to chane in different contexts.
>>107174807
well people generally dont do that when theyre experienced with a program and with keyboard use but it would ease normies (and everyone really) into learning keybinds making everyone faster at any program/game. and after you got all that stuff in muscle memory you can put on some fancy graphical effects people love that RGB shit on keyboards.

Yeah, it was really expensive back then. Something like $1K. I think there is some Kickstarter with the same idea.
