Should Numpad be in the Base kit?

<< < (4/4)

The Switch Journal:
Doesn't using the average base TKL price introduce some bias?
When a numpad is not included into the base kit, I think that the sets tend to include some keys that wouldn't have been here otherwise because of budget constraints.
I say that because I've been very surprised at seeing the difference for KKB between numpad and TKL base, as it really doesn't match the quotes they gave me when considering this exact question making the kitting for my set.
$4 wouldn't have covered even half the production cost difference (without even speaking about vendor/designer margins), and there would not have been any difference between the full base price compared to tkl base + numpad (though maybe vendors take a bigger cut on these child kits which would explain how it doesn't end up that way on the final price?)
