Only buy a magnetic keyboard for gaming

I just don't get the obsession with eliminating the numpad. There are tons of interesting looking and innovative keyboards now and they all insist on making them as cramped as possible.

It makes sense on a laptop. But, if I already need to have a clear place on my desk for the keyboard and mouse, I'd rather just use an extra 2 inches to have the full size keyboard with the numpad and arrow keys that are not crammed against the rest of the keyboard.

If you're right handed and use the mouse right handed, the increase in angle of your right arm is a lot harder on your shoulder over time.

My keyboard has no influence on mouse placement though? My mouse is not positioned laterally to the keyboard, it's diagonally in front and to the right or on a completely separate pullout with mouse pad. Not to mention, I almost never use it.
