tbh you can live just fine without a numpad for work-related stuff unless you're a data entry slave, but i need them for classic DOS games

i use it for any type of number entry, itd feel really weird to use the top row

maybe an ergonomic keyboard would help more, or changing how you are sitting.

i dont think a mechanical keyboard actually reduces pain, but i have robot hands so i wouldn't know

I have this mouse http://www.dmttexas.com/images/Labtec1.jpg

it does not match my keyboard in looks or color and this is driving me insane

Mechanical keyboards are cool but there is definitely something to be said for ergonomic if you're actually typing for a living. I'm using a HHKB2 right now and honestly its poo poo for ergo and is starting to hurt my hands. I don't type that much so can manage it but if I was really doing work I would insist on a split design and would prefer something like a Kinesis.

yo echi have you found anywhere that'll ship a barebones keyboard (cherry blue, preferably) to our part of the world that doesn't cost a loving arm and a leg? everyone i've seen wants like $150US+ which is like $200AUD at the current terrible exchange rates

I've got two WASD boards. solid boards. the code one rings the non code doesn't . get the world wife impression they are solid but perhaps a touch pricey. the LEDs are small and as subtle as it's gets.

but reds?? wtf???

no

you might e lucky and find a local retailer but I was just very lucky and got a key cap less WASD board for $100 off nz version of eBay. I watch every week and it turned out I was very lucky. got code clears at similar price in similar way [no caps]

hope you find some luck too

it's $100 for the barebones board and $50+ for shipping, all in USD so it translates to about $210 here. as echi said, he got super lucky with the cost. i have a wasd board from several years ago when the exchange rate was at par but it's got browns and after using a keyboard with blues recently i would like one with those instead.

i can get ducky keyboards for a lot cheaper from local companies but they seem to have a bunch of extra lovely keys i don't want and i don't know how well they work with macs.
