I used number pad a lot. So I can't and never will go with a 10-Keyless.

I used to think that TKL boards were stupid and that I'd never buy one.

 

Then I bought a Poker II and never looked back (a 60% board, even smaller than a TKL). So far I've really liked it, and the lack of numpad has been rough for a while, but Im just going to buy one of the ones on massdrop.

The only reason I would go to a 10-keyless, would be to get my hands/arms closer together (which I have considered). For some it would be more natural to have their arms closer, putting less strain on the elbows and neck. Yes i probably coul live without the numpad, but it's just so much more convenient when doing the whole onine banking thing.

I can/have lived without a ten key since I never use it for anything but I recently made one since I use it as a buy menu in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I also keep it on the left of my keyboard since I'm lefthanded but I have still not used it as a tenkey for anything. lol

Nope, I sort of need a number pad for blender :) Anyone who video edits as well I think can agree with me

I use my numberpad for loads of stuff, so I could never buy a TKL.

I use the numpad but I feel like I'm stretching out my shoulders too much when reaching for the mouse. I prefer tenkeyless and a numpad to the right of my mouse.
