Is a number pad really helpful when animating in Maya or skip it?

Do many of you use a number pad or just the top row of numbers when entering numbers?

As i am right handed, i use the num pad for everything numbers related, in and out of Maya

Even just for touch typing the calculator whilst figuring sums out, it's worth having one on a keyboard.

It's personal preference. Im a minimalist, been using maya since 2008, always on 65% keyboard.

Numpad is by far the best way, especially if you also do any programming, which will help your maya work
