Number pads are obsolete. If you need to type more than one number at a time, you should be asking yourself "What am I doing wrong such that I have to type all these numbers out?" We live in an age where every document is digital, and number pads are exclusively useful for transposing numbers from paper in bulk.
They're not even a good design, there's no tab, only enter, so they don't even support putting numbers into a spreadsheet super well.
Enter is on the pinky. Use your left hand to press tab.
If I am using two hands anyways, surely having one set of numbers above the keyboard is sufficient?
I have a custom numpad with one key dedicated to tab for this reason.
I do agree though, that I use the numpad less and less.
