The first keyboard we had in the house was an early Dell Quietkey. My first keyboard was a, yes, Dell Quietkey. The first mechanical keyboard I bought to use because it was a better typing experience was a Monoprice one with MX Blues in 2014.
However, when I got my first keyboard, I noticed my newer Quietkey felt different to the family one, and I switched it out. I then picked up a couple Models M and an XT as cast-offs from offices and schools, and, despite not being able to use the XT, quite liked it.
The first keyboards we used in schools were PS/2s; I remember the mice. We didn't have official IBM keyboards, we had knockoffs with the AT layout, so I got used to the numpad as the nav cluster, and, despite not using it regularly for over 20 years following that, it continues to be second nature to me.
Hence, when I discovered that someone made the XT usable on Windows, I moved to that and prefer the XT layout...almost.
I think the ideal for me would be an ANSI modded AT with a split right shift. The XT layout, I just remap the tilde key to return to get a medium ass enter, remap the plus to num enter, and it's almost there.
The numpad set 3 for Ellipse's keyboards is also almost there. I would like a function row on the left ideally.
So I think, give me the Focus layout from an Omnikey or something and dump that nav cluster. That's the ideal.
Anyway, to answer the question - yes. I think my first keyboards I USED in school allowed me to be satisfied with just using the numpad on the right so I can have a compact setup. If I can't get the numpad on the right, I prefer full size, like all the rest of the keyboards I've ever really had. The tenkeyless layout is literally one of the dumbest things I've ever seen and anyone who uses one should be murdered in front of their family.
