    NGL, sometimes I want a TKL, but with a hexadecimal numpad (I’m a programmer).

      TKL is good for karpal tunnel (or it was for me), much place for the mouse suddenly.

      FWIW you can get bluetooth numpads and stick it anywhere you’d like!

        Or a southpaw layout! Numpad on the left. Its what I transitioned to, and I love it. E.G. keychron q12

      Some custom keycaps and a custom layout definition and that should be doable. The numpad has 16 keys.

      Have you considered an ortholinear layout? Can use the whole keyboard as a numpad if you like (I’m a programmer too and specifically went for a 40% ortho for this reason.)
