So, I'm just curious. For the numbers on the keyboard, do you use the numbers along the top or the ones on the pad off to the right?

For myself, I use the ones along the top, always have. Though, a lot of people say that the little number pad is better.

Now what about you?

Top, but only because I use the wireless mac keyboard and it doesn't have the side ones. Its the price I pay for convenience lol

It really depends on what I'm typing. If it's a longish string of numbers, the numpad. If it's just one or two, or numbers and letters together, I use the top row.

I don't have a number pad, so I'm forced to use the top numbers. On a normal keyboard, I use the pad.

I'm faster with the num pad than I am with the top numbers, but only one or two numbers generally results in using the top numbers.

I make the shape of the number through multiple letters on the keyboard. Takes forever, but it's worth it.

I had a laptop for so long that I got used to using only the top numbers, so now that I've got a desktop PC again and the numpad is once more available to me I still only use the top buttons. Go figure.

If I need to type a number that has a point, the top.

If I need to type a random string of numbers for whatever reason, like this ----> 23415415, numbers to the right.

My laptop has a full keyboard with numpad. I never use it, though.
What kind of laptop is that? All the one's I had didn't come with a Numpad...
Well, mine has both and is an Acer Aspire 7730.

It depends what I'm doing. Numbers up the top for when I'm typing and there's only a few numbers and the keypad for when I'm doing data entry that requires a lot of numbers.

Yes. This.

I only have a laptop (and its angering me because I can't play the Steam games I bought due to its refusal to use the graphics cards we have), so I only have the top numbers.

Numpad. It is just so much faster, even having to move my hand all the way to the other side of the keyboard. Unlike most, I use it even if I have a single number to type out.
