Hi guys,
I tried to use my LZ Mx mini on my macbook and it's acting weird.
Num lock is impossible to turn off and if I type at my usual pace (around 40 wpm) it will spam way more character than intended (most of them will be tripled or doubled)
Is this a known issue and is there any workaround?

Is it possible you are double tapping the key? If not it may be a problem with the switch or pcb

I don't have either LZ Mx mini and/or Mac but I found this program which might help with your issue: http://www.denvog.com/app/numlock/
If you have spare machines and/or spare keyboards I would try and see whether:
- Mac would turn the numlock on by default when the keyboard is plugged in.
- The numlock can later be turned on/off on the fly when one presses numlock and/or via Fn function. Usually compact keyboards have numlock features enabled via Fn keys for instance.

Ok thanks for the input, not sure that's gonna fix my pb but it's worth checking

On a Mac there is no num lock function it would be F14. In the system preferences-keyboard- use the keyboard viewer to see what the keys register, it might give you an idea of whats going on.
