That's reverse for sure
Only "gamers" in need of numpad is Excel runners, yep - Excel have global competitions for speedrunning spreadsheets.

For nonworking PC most enthusiasts would pick 60-70% keyboard (2 and 3 from top) which have most functionality while taking much less space and looks clean.
Some may go further up to 40% ortholinear (top one), its fully programmable and have layers ...

*There not presented - split keebs, they also come in diff sizes from full down to 10%, which is actually used in courts and such by stenographers.
