Numpad is essential if you use software that takes advantage of it, like Blender. I made a split keyboard that put the num pad in the middle since that space is normally wasted, but it wasn't very nice to use. Neither of your hands appear from your gut, which is where it would need to be to use the number pad comfortably (and that's why traditional keyboards put off to one side). I just chord to get the number pad keys now. There are probably keyboards that put the number pad on your left. That might be the perfect match for a right-handed mouse user. (Left-handed mouse users have been happy for decades, I bet.)
