Keyboard left-hand numpad. (Custom Keyboard?)

I'm currently using a Logitech G710, short of the rubber-dome media buttons, I love it. But I came to the conclusion that having the numpad to the right is very annoying and I don't want to learn using my trackball left-handed. I really can't get rid of the numpad either.

I wonder if you can suggest me either a keyboard that has the numpad to the left or a combo with a separate numpad. Either specific hardware or a manufacturer you made good experiences with.
I'm not sure if a 65% keyboard would satisfy my needs, although it would provide the most centred typing experience. I guess 75% would be the least I could go without sacrificing on functionality.

Here are some things I seek to have on a keyboard:
Has to have Cherry MX Blue switches or compatible sockets. Has to have DIN T1 layout with consistent typeface. Has to have F-keys. Macro keys opposed to home cluster would be nice. Has to have volume buttons or a wheel. Has to have a hand rest.

I know, this is rather specific, but I'd be thankful if you could share some experiences with either similar setups or manufacturers of similar products.
It probably means building a custom one, any suggestions on that front?

Cheers!

you can just get a keypad

the logitech g13 is one of the best, but unable to find one for under $400
all keys can be programmed or macro

That doesn't help in the slightest.
