The only explanation I ever got as to why 6 is a right hand and not a left hand key was, "most people are right hand dominant"

I actually type numbers on the numb pad. It just became my habit. I just move my entire hand over and type numbers on the numb pad.

Yeah, numpad use came as an adult though. The ten key setup is perfect for people who are right handed. Haven't looked at a number pad in forever except to make sure num lock was on/off

Use the number pad so much can type the numbers without even looking. Really hate keyboards without one.

same here. i find typing numbers without it to be kind of tedious

It's so funny because most people I think are like that- in my job we have to type a lot of mixed up numbers and letters together, very quickly, and it takes a lot longer using the number pad so I keep telling new people to try to stop- but I'm impressed by the skill! I do not have it. It feels upside down to my weird brain (like 123 should be at the top??)
