10 keyless or Full on Linnmon desk?

[Paytend01]

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39932562/ That is the desk im probably going to get soon (More suggestions would be nice under like 100 usd) and was wondering if the 10 keyless keyboard like this ( https://pcpartpicker.com/product/d3yxFT/corsair-keyboard-ch9110010na ) or get a k70? I know the post is a mess, sorry

I ALWAYS prefer the number pad. It comes in handy quite often.

tbh ten-keyless is fine for most people, I like my numpad for pins and credit cards and stuff but unless you already use it a lot you shouldn't miss it when it's gone

I never use it to be honest, thanks

If you use the numpad at all, get a full keyboard, otherwise, 10-keyless is fine.
You could also go for 10-keyless and an additional separate numpad like this one: https://www.amazon.com/V7-KP1019-USB-4NB-Low-Profile-Numeric-Keypad/dp/B017YOXL82

K65 Definitely, I like the switches better than the K70. Also, nice profile picture, I've been addicted to that game the past few days lol.

Its a great game i have been going through burnout lately and might quit lol. The Division is my game right now

K70 is amazing, its usefull to have the Numpad because there are games that use it and its nice once you get used to it

I hate a keyboards with a keypad now. After upgrading to a tournament edition razor from a regular razor black widow and then to a k65 rapid fire I can safly say that I won't miss hitting the keyboard with my mouse again ?

Hey, how is that I3? I was thinking about getting one

[manikyath]

i'll put it like this:

 

you can live without a number pad, but every time you need to punch in more than 2-3 numbers (see, i just used my numpad there) you'll miss it since 2-3 (without a numpad ) took me significantly longer to type, times the amount of character s needed, equals time and annoyance saved

 

there's also *some* games (the ones that are coded terribly) where some features are hardcoded to the numpad, and cannot be "emulated" with a tenkeyless. in my opinion desk size is not really an argument for not having a numpad, because in terms of a desk it's *really* not the big space saving, and if you're one of those people who prefer to play games with pencils jammed under their armpits you can always try alternative keybindings to move your hand more to the right.

 

i'm sure someone of the opposite opinion will come in and prove me wrong, but it's eventually all up to you which side you pick.

some games and software use the numpad(Blender for software and G-mod for games just as examples) and seeing as those use the num pad there is no way to use those shortcuts or features without  a program that remaps your keyboards layout like Sharpkeys and seeing as i have both used Blender and palyed a couplle hundred hours of Gmod i for one NEED the numpad, TKL is fine for most people because most people dont have games or software that utilize the numpad but buying a TKL keyboard is like cutting off a bit of what you can do with it so i always go full unless i need a portable keyboard

[Aytex]

Ever since I used TkL its honestly been awesome, if games need more buttons i bind it to my mouse, no worries as long as you have a macro able mouse you should be fine

 

Also get gerton desk or TORNLIDEN

 

Gerton is solid wood  

 

Tornliden is particle/fiber board D:

Should i get the k65 and a numpad for when i need it?

well, see it like this:

 

for gaming the numpad is 17 extra keys to put bindings on (minimap adnd UI stuff on the keypad is amazing, it's out the way of accidental presses, and organised for the moments you actually need them)

 

and in mapping keys, the arrow keys are more or less the most useless keys on your keyboard, last time i manually mounted something to the arrow keys it was a UI element i only needed every so often "in cases where time was not of the essence"

 

actually, home/del/end/pgdn make better arrow keys than the arrow keys because of the potential other keys you can reach with that hand.

i would get the K70 but if you think you will never do anything that will use a numpad then go with what you think is the better product, for me without a numpad can be a pain, i dont use it much but its nice for when im doing calculations for price and stuff as and when as i said i use software or play games that need one

1 at the moment, but it should be fine if i get this and mount the monitors to the wall ? like with a vesa mount or something

If the budget allows just get the gerton its a full solid board and it wont bend like the linnoman's particleboard or fiberboard's will if too much weight is applied on the middle

 

If you vesa to the wall it should lesson the weight if you want to get a liinnoman though

you can fit two monitors on a 40 freedom unit desk, but it's less than ideal
