Question Are there any keyboards that don't have the extra numerical keypad on the right? I never use that and it just takes up space. Also I like the ergonomically shaped boards. Thanks for your help.
Answer None that I know of. I doubt you will find one since the 10-key configuration is so integral to so many applications. I am sure you could probably arrange with some tech service store to configure one for you but it probably would not be worth the cost.
If you are that intent on eliminating the ten-key pad, just pull up all the keys and affix some flat piece of plastic or cardboard over the spot and use the space for something else.
