FYI: Keyboards without the numpad block are called "TenKeyLess Keyboards" (sometimes it is abbreviated to TKL acronym) or 87/80% keyboards.

In short research, I found they are hundreds of them available on Amazon, Aliexpress. However, most of them have mechanical switches[0][1], some of them have conducted switches (like Topre[2]) and it is very rarely to see cheap, typical office-use TKL keyboards made by companies like Microsoft or Logitech but Matias have at least sell one model [3].

It might be handy to read a short guide [4] of keyboard naming by their sizes, whether you will look for new keyboard in future.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the name when I was looking for one few months ago.

For me mechanical switches are a no-go :(

Happy Hacking used to have cheap membrane "Lite" versions in 80% format. Those were great for the price.
