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 specifically needed a numpad on my keyboard so I went for a 40% ortholinear. I have the numpad on a layer on the right hand side. With all keys reachable from the home row, I can use it more easily/quickly than on a full-sized keyboard so it’s really the best possible solution.

    I’ve configured the layer button so that it can either be held down for quick use, or toggled with a double tap.
