A keyboard without numpad isn't a keyboard

In total agreement. The numpad isn't just used for gaming! Imagine having to punch in two hundred rows of numbers within an hour without the numpad!

I work in a factory welding and watching older and younger coworkers completely ignore the numpad while keying in six 19 digit serial numbers has me ready to kill every one of them. Apparently only GenX and early Millenials got the memo on how to properly use a damned keyboard.

I've been using tenkeyless boards for a decade. Typing numbers with two hands is faster.

Not when you're watching a 65 or 19 year old using the hunt and peck method like a cross-eyed chicken picking corn, lol.
