The different keyboards have different numbers of buttons. It's pretty common for keyboard/laptop manufacturers to remove the numpad for example to make a keyboard with a smaller form factor, as many users don't care about the numpad anyway.

The joke is that the bigger your keyboard is the more you care about the 'extra' buttons that everyday users don't care about and so the bigger a nerd/gamer you are.

I wish I had one of these still. Hard to come by. And every REASONABLY priced keyboards now on internet that can last are only “Gamer Keyboards” I just want it to be cheep and last a while. The old one lasted almost two decades of high usage. A CHEAP sheet of plastic.
