Macropad? Numpad? Why not both? For quite some time, I’ve been using a TKL (ten-key-less) keyboard, which, as the name implies, does not have a numpad. That’s totally fine for 95% of my usage, but the 5% hurts when it’s not there, so I’ve been thinking about an external numpad.
In the meantime, I have also acquired a nice mechanical keyboard, in the Keychron V3, which has shown me how nice proper mechanical switches are, and the power of fully remapping every key possible.
In the grandest tradition of programmers everywhere, this post could only have had one title.
So…
Hello World! Now, on to the meat… Why? Why do this?
I like shouting into the void that is the Internet.
And I have recently had some stuff derailing crazily, so decided to document it.
As an example: I have a homelab. Nothing too crazy. I promise. It has sat largely unused ever since I got the hardware nearly a year go.
