Keyboard with the Numberpad on the left.

[HDTVMan]

Looking for a secondary keyboard and thought it would be great if the number keypad was on the left because I use the mouse with my right. My second desk isnt large enough to move the keyboard over and its looking like I might just get a wireless keyboard and so I can just move it and put a nostromo speed pad instead.

Any thoughts or creative ideas I might have overlooked?

I thought there was some company that made two-piece keyboards (Belkin, maybe?), where the numpad was separate. But didn't you learn to use the numbers with your right hand? You'd have to relearn to type fast again.

http://www.a4tech.com makes some keyboards with the keypad on the left - specifically to bring the mouse closer to the home row keys. The Egg used to carry one model, but I haven't seen it there in a while. And they have a corded one, but apparently they don't import them. It took me a while to find some with froogle - I think I had to play around with the model numbers to get them to come up. Some of the Kensingtons are made by A4tech too.

Logitech dnovo's (spelling?) have detachable keypads I believe.

Unfortunately its expensive, and has very laggy bluetooth technology that has far been exceeded by RF technology. Believe me, I OWN a set of the Dinovos. They suck the big one.

Logitech has a USB version of the diNovo, which can be found for around 100 after rebates. I own the BT one. I'm curious what exactly you don't like about them? from time to time I have to rediscover the mouse after I've gone a few days without using it. And the mouse takes 5 seconds to respond after it's gone idle for awhile. But overall, I LOVE it. The detachable key pad was a huge plus too. my desk's keyboard tray is too small to fit a regular sized KB + any mouse pad that's not microsopic. I have my diNovo + Razer eXactmat in my tray and I love it. Only beef with the diNovo is the keypad's LCD isn't backlit.
