    I’ve been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.

      That’s interesting. What is your advantage moving the numpad?

      I could kind of understand if it’s a left handed thing, though I’m left handed and have always used right handed peripherals. Maybe I got beaten into the right handed world at a young age and never thought there was another option.

      I wonder if my K:D ratio on CS:GO would improve if I assumed with my left hand…

        It gets your mouse closer to the actual keyboard.

        When you let go of the keyboard to get your mouse with a full, you have to go over to the numpad, even though you don’t use it very often. It puts your right hand in a position that’s not very natural, at least to me.

      I’m not sure if I would start sane if the number pad was on the left side.

      I’d have to try it
