I do really think the smaller keyboards are cool, and i like that they wouldn’t run into my mouse as much. But all my life I’ve had a numpad. I tried a keyboard without a numpad and lasted about 5 minutes before raging. How did you guys get used to it? Maybe I just need to get better at “top row numbering”.

    I’ve spent years with a lovely huge IBM Model M.

    Then I’ve moved to a TKL (no numpad) keyboard: no pain at all, except (sometimes) when in need for Windows Alt-numpad sequences for special characters.

    Then I’ve moved to a 68 keys split keyboard! And I love it, since I (almost perfectly) customised it for my needs.

    And I’m now thinking to go to a 42-keys split keyboard… (see Piantor Pro)
