>>13869786I think numpads are still pretty useful. I use mine sometimes for maths and it's also convenient to be able to do unicode with it and I have a gamer mouse with a bunch of numpad keys on the side when I'm not using a setup that has them as macros.
I think australian money is really devalued so you probably can't get a good keyboard for less than $100 aus. I have a nice one that was $80 Canadian.
as for how I'm doing, it's not very good but I will be better soon and these things happen so I won't complain too much. It gives context to the good times and I like context.
