I personally have a very difficult time seeing how many keyboards are equipped with a 10 key.  In our ergonomic practice, ironically we usually see petite individuals perform their job on a very large curved keyboard with keypad.

I realize there is a need for people to use a 10 key especially for the areas of finance & for those who rely heavily on spreadsheets.  Thankfully there are alternatives that we will review below.  All of the combinations can work on a keyboard tray, which we strongly encourage.  Four of the five listings are compact, which is perfect companion while traveling on business.
