What they also don’t know is that you can make a separate numpad (I did!)

Can you recommend a numberpad kit? Having just gone TKL I do occasionally miss the old numpad for data entry.

I use a 4x4 pad as my numpad. I made this one out of a bm16a PCB and designed the case to match my other 40s.

Not really sure if that’s something you’re looking for but there are plenty of dedicated numpads that look more like a regular keyboard numpad.

Been a while but looking forward to dusting off the iron. Thanks for the recommendation.

I saw someone post this this other day and it never clicked until recently. You can get away with out an numpad on a TKL!

I saw that. To be honest I’m not sure how to reprogram my keyboard or if it’s even possible as it’s not got VIA. Also I’m planning on building a split keyboard soon so this is practice 😊
