Noob here so if it has been asked before please point me in the right direction. Search was not my friend on this one.
So I use my computer for a lot of different things. Most of the time I do not use the number pad so it is kind of in the way and would love to have the mouse close by.
But every once in a while I do use it and would like to have it (data entry). Being left handed, I also love the idea of having it on the correct side.
Here is the analogy I have in mind:
I have a vision of the number pad being a trailer to a car. I am not hauling gravel daily so I really do not need a pickup truck, don't want to park a second vehicle and drive the extra weight. A trailer allows me to be flexible when I do need to haul gravel.
Question: Is it possible to have a 60% keyboard for 95% of the time and then use a separate number pad just when needed (5% of the time)? How does it work in terms of USB ports.
Thoughts? Pros/Cons?
Any of you have this setup?
Pictures?
Thanks!
