On laptops, I was encouraged off mice the first time that I experienced a Thinkpad with that little rubbery button thing. I was fully weaned when I got an Aspire with a touchpad years ago. The widescreen Aspires have enough width to fit a proper numeric keypad in, too.

I've even been weaned off of mice for desktops, since then. It's trackballs for desktops, now.

Having to hold the #FnKey down all of the time defeats the nature of #NumericKeypads, I find. Part of the point, surely, is not to have to hold a modifier down whilst typing to do lots of numbers.

Although @Jayenkai can argue, at least, that pressing Fn means that one is pushing down on the keyboard on both sides of the knee and keeping things in balance. (-:

Speaking as someone who does not enjoy them, I diffidently suggest that you might not need it even now. (-:

I have a collection of add-on #NumericKeypads . One of these days I'll find someone flogging a cheap Canon DK1000i so that I can add it to the collection.
