okay so i searched this. and it's not really all that techinical- so its here.
so which number pad key set thing do you use on you keyboard- this eliminates all those laptop people sorry. i use the one to the right of my keys- that are in a big square because i just find them easier to use. but i see some people use the one in a row above the keys. so which set do you find easier to use? |

On the desktop, I usually do the number pad to the right, because I feel it's easier, and I type with them quicker. But on the laptop, I have no choice but to do the top row of numbers.

I use the one on the right, usually. I'm used to both, though.

I'm a labtop person, but at school I spell out numbers generally... I have small hands so I have a hard time reaching the number keys and hitting the space bar all the time... yeah.

I use the top row. When I try to type out number based things on the right side, since I'm so use to the top row, I forget what number I'm trying to type. It's odd. Oh well.

I like the numpad so much more than the row. I always press the wrong number in the row because I don't look at the keyboard.

If I'm using a full-sized keyboard, I usually use the number pad; but most of the time I use a laptop, so I only use the top row.

Good question :) When I used my father's computer, I got used to using the number pad on the right, but since then, I've gotten a laptop, so just the top row for me now :)

Eh.... the top row most of the time - unless I have to type a lot of numbers, then I use the number pad.
And I always forget to "Num Lock" so I finish typing about 20 numbers in and realize that not one of them registered on the screen. Darn it. |

I use the number pad. The little set of numbers above the letters are so irritating at times; or maybe it's because I have bigger fingers. Idk, but either way, numpad's the way to go.

When I learned typing, I actually never used the ones on the right. Yeah, they're be easier if I had learned to use them, but now I'm used to the ones on the top. Yuck.

I've always prefered the number pad - if I'm using a laptop, that's one thing I really miss. I guess you could always get a USB keypad, but to me that seems a little overboard.
