Never Use Numeric Keypad on Your Keyboard?

Keyboard-ModsSo do I, except for some games that “force” me to use the numeric keypad. This guy, named Trevor Blackwell, also never use them. Actually, he really hates those numeric keypad keys.

It forces the mouse to be about 5 inches farther away from where I’m typing than it needs to be, which is a lot of unnecessary arm movement over the years.

Finally, he made a bright decision: chop the numeric keypad off from the keyboard!

His victim was the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. At his first attempt, he ended up making 1/3 of the keys didn’t work, because he accidently cut off several wires and components on the keyboard. He succeeded on the second attempt.

If you hate the numeric keypad a lot like he did, you can try to do the same thing. He gives a step-by-step instructions on his website, along with several screenshots. But don’t forget to keep a spare keyboard as a backup, incase you did something wrong :p
