Mouse position. I want my main keys centered and a keyboard with a numpad makes it annoying to use the mouse if you're right handed, it's a less natural position.

But just a numpadless keyboard does the same, right? That's what I have been using for over 10 years anyway.

What I, and presumably also the previous poster, don't understand is using the 60% keyboards that remove so many more keys than just the numpad.

I mean, if you're happy with it then great; it's your keyboard. But I just don't understand it.

Depends how big your desk is and how often you use those keys. If you don't use them that much then it's fine having a smaller keyboard.
