You have all these keyboard manufacturers competing to make products better than the others. So here's a good tip. Put your numpad on the LEFT side of the keyboard. NO ONE does this.
I don't know who needs their left hand while using their right hand for the numpad.
Whether I pay bills, enter numbers into excel sheets or whatever my left hand is always idle on the left side of the keyboard while my right hand gotta jump forth n back between the mouse and the numpad.
Select the right box/window/whatever with mouse cursor, move hand over to numpad, type in whatever numbers, move back to mouse to select next thing, repeat.
As an fps gamer I can also say I would LOVE to have that space the numpad is occupying for more mouse space. As an MMO player I can also say I would LOVE to have that numpad close to my wasd movement keys for extra not too far to reach potential keybind.
And again, as someone who uses excel and spreadsheets a lot for work I can definitely say I'd love to be able to use my LEFT hand for the numpad with the RIGHT hand moving the cursor around.
Thoughts? Feel free to use the poll to get some numbers in on what people would actually prefer.
EDIT: Apparently I need to add that Im not looking for makeshift solutions, buying additional standalone equipment and yadida. Neither am I looking for ways to avoid using logitech products on the logitech redditforum...
And I'd love to hear from the people who prefer numpad on the right side of the keyboard as to why that is. I am genuinly curious how people make use of that setup, maybe Im missing something. And to whoever downvotes this post.. why? How is this a bad idea? Or did you just wake up today and decide to be a cunt?
Can you tell help us... Does Apple sell a keyboard ...
CMV: The numpad should be on the left of the keyboard.
Full size or TKL with separate number pad on the left... Thoughts?
Keyboard with the numpad on the LEFT side?
Why would I need a left-handed computer keyboard?
You may have already adapted to using a traditional right-handed keyboard, however some left-handed users who particularly favour their left-hand may experience overreaching and uncomfortable positioning when needing to use number keypads or certain parts of the keyboard. This can contribute to hand, wrist and arm pain, RSI and other issues with the upper limbs.
A left-handed keyboard will help allow for a more natural position of your left-hand, improved productivity as well as advanced speed of typing and keyboard use.
What’s unique about a left-handed keyboard?
Specially designed to increase comfort for left-handed people, left-handed keyboards feature the number keypad on the left-hand side, freeing up space for the user to have their mouse arm in a more comfortable and natural position.
