Mr Sumlenny said German post-war thinking plays a role too. “They were designed by a generation of German manufacturers that hadn’t seen war, and so tended to overcomplicate the system. “Older systems, designed in the 1960s by those who actually saw war, are far more useful on the battlefield but have weaker armour.”

Yeah but Rheinmetall can’t charge the government megabucks for a simple system can it? They have to justify bumping another 0 on the end of the price somehow, an increase in complexity is the perfect way to do this.

Cowards

Yeah horses for courses right?

I don’t mind numpads per say - on a desktop keyboard it’s fine, I guess. Even I personally won’t be using them, at least they don’t get too much in the way. I can touch type numbers just fine on the top row. I don’t like to move my hands from the home row if I can help it, least of all for numeric input. And I also hate offset typing, feels like driving a car with the pedals off to one side of your seat, bad ergo.

But I guess if numpads on laptops are your thing, it’s great for you.

Why do so many of their laptops have numpads? I don’t want to type with my hands offset to the left I want to type straight on, no numpad, centralised letters.
