I would like a shorter board but am wondering whether I’ll actually need the numpad for game development?
The software I will be using is:
I would be grateful if anyone with experience with this software can tell me whether the Numpad is necessary.
The alternative option to a TKL would be a Hybrid:
I would get one with the numpad.
I personally use it for shortcuts that I make that I want out of the way… And well… It’s nice to have just in case.
As someone who used a keyboard without one for a while… I really love my numpad.
Also… Is that a mechanical keyboard?
My experience in Unreal:
My numpad definitely saves me time when typing large numbers, and for that reason I always get a keyboard with a numpad. My laptop has a keyboard similar to that hybrid, and after using it for a year, something about the arrow key positions always made me want to press CTRL when going for the left arrow key.
It’s way faster to iterate through number values using numpad
