My keyboard doesn't even have a numlock. Your's is not the correct answer after all.
TKL? That's your own fault for buying a defective keyboard that's missing a whole section just because of aesthetics.
excuse me?
In case you're wondering, it does have a number pad. You just hold down one of the keys to access it.
Haha, I knew I can trigger one of you guys :-)
Jokes aside that's an awesome keyboard, just not a useful one to 99% of users out there and I can honestly say I'm on the opposite end of customization spectrum. I have 2 aliases in my bashrc, but if I need to switch to a new computer I can be up and running in 15 minutes while the rest of the team needs 2 days. And even though I've had the same computer for the last 5 years, I don't work noticeably slower than anyone with a ton of customization on their pc.
I'm a programmer and spend way too much time typing, here's my 2 cents on numpads
If I used a numpad it would probably have to be on the left side but honestly I'll realistically move over to a split setup like the one in the other comment before I get a numpad. Until then, 65/75% keyboards ftw.
I have a split keyboard, but it includes a num pad. To be fair I was mostly kidding. I realize there are as many opinions on the keyboard as there are people. I also write code occasionally for work, but I wouldn't sacrifice num pad for space.
Aesthetics? it's smaller.
I understand, but I'd rather lose the space for mouse next to keyboard than the num pad and I don't even work with spreadsheets.
