A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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.
Keeb goes hard ngl
What is that beautiful monstrosity?
That's a hyper7. If youve got a pathological need for a billion keys and £700 to drop you can't go far wrong. Although you may have to spend a little more to reinforce your desk and remove a wall to get it in your house lol
While I love my full-sized keyboard, respectfully - who cares. The whole idea of a PC is the freedom to use whatever you want.
Keyboards, controllers, speech to text, a wii-mote, literal bananas/bread, eye/blink trackers, whatever suits you best. Insisting there's a best device for everyone doesn't change people's minds and just leads to hostility when we should be glad more people are using the device that makes them happy. One day you might be one of them when your circumstances or preferences change.
I spent 30 years thinking someday I'd start using the number pad and then finally gave up. I like having the typing part centered more.
100% or bust!
Get a larger desk. No way I'm typing numbers not on a keypad
I'm pulling my separate numpad out when I know I'll be entering a lot of numbers. Or reach over to it when I enter a PIN from muscle memory. Otherwise I toss it to the side.
I use this occasionally when i need to do a lot of number typing whilst using my mouse so i can relax my arm to the side rather than reaching across the KB and straining the muscle behind my shoulderblade.
You have left out galaxy brain giant IBM model M. (Not more keys, but thicc keys.)
It's not just the size. It's also the way the sound of typing will bother everyone else in the room.
How about the superior 122 key Model F
“To use this feature, simply press the F213 key.”

Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)

sorry but I agree. numpad masterrace. say no to degenerate keyboards.
I have a full-sized and a 96%. I don't know how people live without a numpad. Even my laptop has a numpad. I don't do excel shit. But at work I have to enter alot of phone and CC numbers. At home I use the numpad for rating photos when sorting and importing them.
A keyboard without a numpad is like a cock without a foreskin.
Stupid as fuck, but some people don't know any better
That analogy is a work of art. So casually out of pocket
Long live the numpad!
I went from a 100% membrane to a 60% mechanical, then a ~63% (think the 60% one but ONLY with extra arrow keys) then to a tenkeyless minus some of the useless keys, now to a full tenkeyless one
Here's what I have. Honestly it's perfect.
I’m gonna catch some heat…. But I gotta speak my truth - this is all I need. I game, I program, I have 2 function keys that change the layout and provide access to any keys not physically present.
You do you man. We all got different hands and preferences and physical dimensions, as well as different usable desk space. It's silly to draw lines in the sand about peripherals. Personally, I like my giant gaming keyboard with macro keys and whatnot. I program the extra keys to do things as needed. But I wouldn't force that on anyone who wants a smaller form factor. Hell now we can even get picky on how much actuation force, key travel, and sound of key press. A keyboard for every preference!
I have a split 40% because I type for a living and normie keyboards destroy my wrists.
If I could I would have two tiers and pedals like an organ master
peep the horror
Ah yes, the klingon keyboard. Goes on the armrests of the captains chair.
I've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.
I love this meme, but I feel like including TKL in the circle would be a little more fitting. I know I'm a little biased for being a TKL user, but they really aren't that esoteric. Every key is where you expect it. It just doesn't have a numpad.
I'm not even represented. 40 % anyone? nobody?
I didn't even know 40% exists and has to look it up. I hate to say this to you, but I'm not sure this is going to work out between us.
