Hello friends, thanks to Kalrand, I was finally able to acquire one of these for myself
I have two main issues, hopefully someone more knowledgeable could help:
I've read and realized that the Deskthority states the numpad cannot work in standalone mode without a keyboard connected to the numpad.
Have people found a way to make the numpad still work without the main keyboard plugged into it?
Another problem is that some of my computers do not have PS/2 connectors. I've tested the numpad using a native PS/2 connector in the motherboard, and it works great (still not sure how programming works but I'll get to that later).
My main computers do not have PS/2 connectors, so if I were to use an ordinary PS/2 to USB plug (read: plug, not the cube converter that has circuitry built in) to try to connect to the computer, it does not work.
Would getting the cube PS/2 connector work? What are my options for getting this numpad to work via USB?
Right now I have it connected:
Filco TKL (USB->PS/2) -> G80-3700 (PS/2 -> USB) -> USB Port on back of motherboard.
Being able to use the numpad standalone is not the biggest issue, but would love to get it working with USB!
Forgive me for my newbieness, hope someone can help
