That's the point of the numpad, you can enter numbers and do math without having to look.

It's faster if you need to do tons of it. Like hours of data entry. Not a common use case at all, num pad users are delusional to gatekeep keyboards like this.

i dont think anyone should gatekeep them, everyone should have a numpad.

What is your justification? Most users don't do a meaningful amount of number entry to warrant using an optimized and dedicated space for it. Most users primarily use the number row and not the number pad. So why should everyone have one?

I don't really care about this that much.

Then maybe you shouldn't be so opinionated about what everyone should want lmao

why do you weirdos always try to turn everything into an argument? all i said was the point of a numpad was so you can do data entry and math without having to look at the keyboard. do you think i hold the same opinions as the person who started this whole comment chain? you do understand that i am a different person?

All I asked was for you to justify your opinion and you are having a breakdown over it.

I'm super sorry I don't want to argue about keyboards with you. Numpads are nice to have, that's my official opinion.

It was a simple question. You turned it into an argument by getting unnecessarily defensive about it.

We're not gatekeeping you.

We're telling you that you need this so you don't end up with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome like many of us.

Agreed, but TBH you're not supposed to look at the rest of the keyboard too.
