I literally will not ever daily use a keyboard if it doesn't have a number pad.

Any time I'm forced to temporarily use anything without a num pad I feel like I'm driving a car that's missing half it's steering wheel or something. It just feels wrong.

I downsized a while back due to switching to a smaller desk, and it does feel weird.

I can input lots of numbers very fast without looking down with a num pad. I cannot do that with the number row. I have to look down at some point and it's much slower.

Amen.

I've been using a wireless mechanical 100% keyboard for years. Love it so much I bought a duplicate, so I have a spare when it's time to run one through the dishwasher!

You've never cleaned your keyboard in the dishwasher?

Hot water, don't use detergent, and let any washed electronics dry completely before use is the method I use.

i reckon one can only do this with very soft water?

What, you don't want your keys to crunch when you press them?

At the same time you charge your iPhone in the microwave oven at 10% power.

It needs to be ≥ 100% for me

I just learned how to type numbers quickly without a numpad. It's truly a skill issue if you need a numpad lol

Not the same. A functional num pad needs to be in a strict grid pattern to work. The keys need to be column aligned so they can be felt and the num pad used without looking at it.
