Same. I bought a full-sized keyboard with numpad, but I felt it put the mouse too far off to the right. I much prefer the mouse to rest couple of inches from the enter key.

- Symbiote 6y agoYou can buy a programmable macropad / keypad (there's a huge range in price). With the most programmable ones (look for "QMK"), you can assign keys to any arbitrary combination or sequence as you choose, and if required make layers, e.g. NumPad layer → IntelliJ shortcut layer → Some game shortcuts. Just an overview: http://xahlee.info/kbd/programable_keypads.html http://xahlee.info/kbd/programable_keypads.html I think the only disadvantage is it's a separate thing, so you have two things to push away from you if you don't want to use the keyboard.
