How do people feel about the keyboard number pad.

I've always had full sized keyboards on my desk.
Only time that I don't have one is on laptops or "mobile" keyboards (BT ones for tablets 'n the like).

I'm starting to wonder how much I need the number pad for desktop use.

If I were to replace my current keyboard (Logi MX Keys) with one without the number pad - would I regret the expenditure?

I wouldn't have to reach so far for the mouse, and the keyboard could be properly central to my body.

@bigcalm I've preferred keyboards without numeric pads for many years now, starting with an old IBM PS/2 model intended for server cabinets. They're widely available these days, described as "tenkeyless". On the rare occasions I have to go into the office, I find myself bashing the mouse against the side of the keyboard where I expect the numeric pad not to be.
