I do really think the smaller keyboards are cool, and i like that they wouldn’t run into my mouse as much. But all my life I’ve had a numpad. I tried a keyboard without a numpad and lasted about 5 minutes before raging. How did you guys get used to it? Maybe I just need to get better at “top row numbering”.
When I bought my cheapo “Baby’s first mechanical keyboard” the one with the numpad was more than I wanted to spend so I said “Fuck it, I’ll get used to TKL”.
So I did. To a point that now even on keyboards with the numpad I still use the top row out of habit. You can imagine the look on my coworkers faces.
TL;DR: Just force yourself to I guess lol
