many enthusiast keyboards are “tenkeyless” precisely because the numpad is too far from the home row to be actually useful when you get efficient typing patterns worked out
i have a tenkeyless and use programmers dvorak (which is honestly imo pretty brain dead for its use of the num row and still is “fine” for numbers): you get used to it very quickly, and typing numbers with the numpad as an efficiency improvement is more than made up for by using both hands on the num row, and by it being far closer to the home row
Num row is plenty efficient. It takes some practice but is probably more efficient for typing mixed strings of letters and numbers, which is more common than long strings of numbers. As for flying, I dunno, same way anyone flies. Throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Num pad is much faster for clean numbers than num row because you can use the thumb on zero, allowing you to use all 5 fingers without ever moving the hand.
However the secret to achieve true mad man number typing speeds is to use both hands.
Num row is for the left hand. Num pad is for the right hand.
This can be optimized by positioning your left hand on 1 to prepare yourself for Benford's Law which tells us that a majority of numbers start with 1.
Actual numbers also includes many zeros (but rarely starts with one). The fat zero key on num pad has room for two fingers, just saying.
Eight fingers with both hands vs four and a dedicated thumb for zero? The number of fingers isn't the limiting factor anyway. Like I said, if you're not typing exclusively numbers, the numrow is fine because it allows you to type numbers and letters without repositioning your hands.
actually one of my grandparents was a typist at an accounting firm, and apparently num row is far more efficient for numbers in generally because you use 10 fingers and your thumbs are close to your “new home row” (aka the number row while you’re typing numbers), and whilst possible you’d never use both hands in the num pad because it’d be awkward and probably damaging to your wrists, and you’re rarely typing just numbers so having the num row closer to the home row is part of the efficiency calculation

Find a worse one.
Bat to the head.
Ah, a recursive solution. Elegant!
Well the first step is upvoting it. I'm not sure what the second step is, but just go ahead and start on step one until step two is clearly defined.
TMI, TMI!
Oh thats nasty. A keyboard without a numpad? really?
I really like the idea of compact keyboards but like... I can't imagine not having my numpad, so I guess it just isn't meant to be.
Some keyboards let you hold down a FM key to use some normal keys as a numpad, but not enough.

How do they move diagonally in a roguelike game?
With HJKLYUBN unlike these modern savages with their arrow keys.
How do they fly, or efficiently enter strings of numbers?

I tried it and agree that's that grossest thing here.

Ok but... what the fuck is on the screen?
FNAF Erotica, I think
Nevermind that, what's in the glass? Water? Vodka?
Gin
If this is you, I applaud your dedication.
Nah

You gotta respect committing to the bit that hard...
Incredible. Looking forward to following your future endeavours
the FNAF video on the screen 💀
I have that same keyboard.
Or had. My wife absconded with it.
That would be impressive.

Did Chewbacca get drunk and play with the trimmer?
Strimmer more like.
Sir! Bravo!
