I require a numpad - any time I need to enter more than a few numbers, the speed difference is unbelievable. I’d say most analytics focused people will need to do something like this at some point - that, and people who are forced to interact with spreadsheets occasionally.
I just set up my tilde key to change the right half of my keyboard to a numpad when held down, so I'm not missing anything. Seems like a good tradeoff.
I don't get the obsession with custom keyboard with ever fewer keys. If I designed one, if anything it would have at least a few more modifier keys that a standard keyboard.
I don't get why most keyboards available in stores have a numpad. I never use it, and it takes up valuable space on my desk. I wonder how many people actually use the numpad section of a keyboard on a daily basis.
Also I use it for software like Blender for camera controls. (Though this is probably more of a niche use case...)

Pffff. What is this, amateur hour? 20 keys or bust! https://www.gboards.ca/product/butter-stick-limited-edition :P
> With 10mm standoffs this is a snug fit, and it is impossible with the standoffs at full length. Reflow your solder if it climbed up the wire I've never soldered anything before, and I have no idea what this means - does anyone know of a good beginners guide to this kind of soldering?
Kind of knitting for nerds.

I'm waiting for a keyboard with eink key caps because I struggle to remember where all of these invisible keys are.
I also remember owning a Samsung Alias 2, which had e-ink keys so you could use it in either vertical or horizontal orientation.

I use a ten key less keyboard so I can put the mouse closer to it.

Ah, reminds of the Optimus Maximus: https://vimeo.com/4294567 I also remember owning a Samsung Alias 2, which had e-ink keys so you could use it in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
I love small keyboards and am a Dvorak[1] fan, so tolerating such a layout will require some creative thinking.
I've purchased a PCB from SpaceCat Designs[2] and am keen on creating a Dvorak-centric keymap that chords the top two rows like the gBoards[3] Georgi[4], with the bottom rows dedicated as modifiers. Probably will give it a shot using the new F10 flat key profile from SP[5].
