How to use

To start using the keypad, simply plug the USB cable into an available USB port on your laptop or personal computer.

Digits can be entered independently of the system Num Lock status, and specific software can be used if you wish to program the custom function keys according to your operational needs.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your computer has an available USB port for connection
• Assess your need for a dedicated numeric pad versus a full-sized keyboard
• Consider the wired 1.75-meter cable length relative to your workspace setup
