10 keyless - Yay or Nay?

[MayorPotatoSalad]

As a 10 keyless keyboard owner, with plenty of previous experience with full size keyboards, I am curious as to what my fellow gamer or just daily computer user (accountant or bank manager aside) uses his or her number pad for, and if they think it is a necessary part of a keyboard. 

[SnafuPossum]

Most of my passwords have numbers in them so there is one use. At work inbetween phone numbers, excel, credit cards, password using only numbers I couldnt imagine a life without a number pad.

[Benjals]

For typing strings of numbers quickly and entering my pins.
Use as a form of control in some games.
Not essential, but I'm happier with one.

[Fictionvl]

I can never not use a num pad

[RollinLower]

i used to have a fullsize keyboard for a while, tough now i own a K65 and i've never been more satisfied with a keyboard before!

i never used the numpad anyway, and now i have lots more room for my mouse.

[FatalityDiablo]

tkl ftw

[Agent181]

quickfire tk ftw 

[epeglab_1_]

YAY

[BallisticPeanut]

I can type fairly fast using the top number row so a number pad is easy for me to live without.  But, a num pad can be usefull for things like hotkeys, which is why my new keyboard is going to be a Quickfire TK.

I will probably move to a 10 keyless for my next board. I rarely use it.

[JebKerman]

there are only 2 things i use a numpad for: piloting in GTA V, and creating symbols, like ° (alt + 2 + 4 + 8) that is why I am looking at the G310 (baby G910)

Numpad... allow more custom key blinding ... and allow me to type quick number pin when i log into window for an example.

I prefer the tenkeyless design as I never use the numpad, really. It makes the keyboard shorter, which is nice. It gives me more breathing room for my mouse movements

[Nup]

I have a num pad but use it so rarely that i wouldn't mind having the extra space that a tenkeyless offers

Nay 

 

60%, even tkl wastes too much space.

[Zambonie]

I have a numpad, though I've never touched it, never. I find the top row of numbers to be much easier for a reason.

[Thony]

NumPad>Top row keys

Its just faster due to the layout of the keys and position (left hand can stay on letters and right hand naturaly on the right side)

I own K70rgb with numpad and it seems pretty small to me already. In fact i was surprised how small and sexy the keyboard is.

KUL-ES87. Solid build quality and you can get it in any cherry mx flavor

[olbaze]

Excel and Calculator.

 

And for games that mostly use a keyboard, I prefer my movement to be on Numpad 8/4/5/6 rather than arrow keys or WASD.

[Thunderpup]

when putting in passwords or the like I always use the number row above the alphabet keys.  Don't know why I just always have

 

but when putting in straight numbers like for excel, an e-mail, calculator, and other things I can't think of at the moment I use the number pad.

 

when I eventually upgrade to a gaming keyboard it will need to have a number pad. I do some of my work at home and I know it will drive me nuts going to use something that isn't there. 

 

if you need to know how much of a problem going keyless will be for you try placing a sheet of paper over your current one and tape it down.

 

That way you will notice whenever you go to use it vs. trying to remember how often.
