Title: Secure Pro - No Numlock
Post by: bbl on Wed, 02 April 2014, 02:38:29

Just received the new Secure Pro and found out the keyboard cannot "lock" the numpad with "Fn+N" while the "N" keycap clearly has "NumLock" printed on it.

It is disappointing given it is a TKL board.
 
As it is a new product and I pre-ordered it, I relied on the photo of the KB on the website.

Have to say what you see is not what you get in this case.

The KB is solid otherwise.  Love the switch.

Isn’t the “numlock” key for (in Windows and perhaps Linux) turning the numpad into numbers instead of navigation? i.e. “numlock” has a well-defined meaning, and it’s different than what you’re implying.

I agree though that having an Fn-lock key (which is what you’re looking for, it sounds like) would be a nice feature.

It may well actually turn numlock on and off, then, but you may not notice that unless a keyboard with a numpad was also plugged in.
