I've decided to pull the trigger and get a wireless numpad. I got this 75% keyboard and whilst it has been great, I like having the numbers in a tidy square too much.
I think a detached numpad is the way to go because they stick out the side of your keyboard and you don't need them until you really need them. Wireless lets you put it away when not in use and you can put it on either side of the keyboard as well. As a lefty I've wished for a left side numpad for a long time.
I think I'll get the 8bitdo one as it has a screen and can work as an independent calculator as well. Great for not needing to add a calculator window to your screens on top of everything else.
8bitdo is a solid choice, love their shit
My pro 2 has been solid for years. The 3 looks great and whilst no removable battery is a downgrade everything else in it seems solid
