I've used a lot of X1 ThinkPads, and if there's any company that can make a satisfying laptop keyboard, it's Lenovo. I used to really prefer having the 10-key available at my desk and on a 15" ThinkPad. Since switching to "TKL" or Ten Key-Less keyboards, I've grown to like the shorter distance for my hand to travel to and from the mouse, and keeping the desk less cramped.
My personal laptop is a MacBook Air 13.6" which is too small for any more keyboard. It already lacks a handful of dedicated keys that I wish it had (Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, forward-Delete). I've adapted well at this point to using the Function key combinations but I certainly don't prefer it. The small size and great battery makes up for these shortcomings.
Those 8bitdo keyboards do have a matching number pad sold separately, so that can snug up right against the keyboard. Some kind of way to attach it to the keyboard securely would have been neat.
