How often do you use your keyboard's Numpad?

[Kerplex]

Curious to see  

 

I myself don't really use it at all, since i mostly just game on my computer.

[Breakdown]

I never use mine. I'm just stuck with it because I have a 15.6" laptop.

[TechSage]

I have a tenkeyless

[ixi_your_face]

love the numpad! cant use the damn number keys up at the top for the life of me

[Kerplex]

I have a tenkeyless

I saw your post in Razer thread and that's what got me thinkng.

So rare that I just went and bought a tenkeyless.

I type numbers a lot faster with the numpad, so I find myself using those a lot.

[Giddyguy]

I use the keypad a lot, and never use the top row of numbers.

I kinda wish the keyboard only had symbols on the top row so i wouldn't need to press shift to activate those.

When I'm doing CAD/CAM work I use it all of the time on my workstation.

 

But I'm also used to not having it, like on my laptop.

Someone needs to revamp the modern keyboard as we know it. Or, you could just reconfigure the keys.

I think they should get rid of the number row on top and replace it with the symbols so you don't have to press shift for the !  $ @ # ( ) all the time!

Also, we use : more than ; and " more than '. We also use ? more than /.

Way more than I should probably but I use it out of many years of habbit so going to the num row for number intensive tasks would be quite hard. I like having my numpad to the point where I switched to the TKL form factor instead of the ultra compact HHKB style just because I could program the hom cluster and arrow to work like a numpad.

I have tried this because i thought it would be better especially for coding but not having the num row was problematic when typing since I use the it when im typing 1 or 2 numbers as its far quicker.

I use mine all the time xD  It is very handy, and I miss it when I'm on my laptop.

Also, we use : more than ; and " more than '. We also use ? more than /.

true with the colon and the question mark but I use the apostrophe much more than quote marks.  

Most sentences have words like: 

 

I'll, don't,  can't, won't, he's, they're and you're

 

but not many sentences have quotes.

This also.

Haha after posting my earlier comment, I tried KeyTweak and SharKeys but they dont allow you to remapp 1 -> ! :(

Anyone else know a solution?

 

If we could do this, it would surely save my pinky from all those extra presses!

[Emperor_Piehead]

I use my numpad in some strategy games.

[1funnygame]

holy cow i just noticed i had numpads thanks!

[techswede]

i use it every time i need to input numbers. im so used to it by now that a tenkeyless would completely mess me up :P
and i use it for my abilities when im playing wow^^ it's pretty handy to use the normal 1-5 for party members and numpad for abilities when you're a healer

[JordanMac]

i never use the numbers on my top row, always my numberpad.

[Charger]

i never use it so i made a keyboard without it

basically a diy deck 82 made form a keyboard used in a cop car made by decks parent company

really? what happens when you have to type a lot like when writing a paper, coding, working, or writing wall-o-text posts on the forum (like me)?
