tenkeyless have embedded numpad?
« on: Sat, 10 October 2009, 06:42:08 »
Do the tenkeyless boards have an embedded numpad?  I don't think I see an Fn key in the pics.   I don't ever use a numpad qua numpad, but I occasionally use it as a quick on-keyboard mouse, via Mouse Keys.  Mouse Keys isn't expressive enough for me to complete avoid the real trackball, so a compact keyboard that allows easy access to the right is still preferable to a board with a actual numpad.

Hmm, I see a NumLock on the Realforce tenkeyless pic, but not on the Filco.  Filco tenkeylesses don't have an embedded numpad?

The TypeMatrix handles it best. You can use the Fn key to access the numpad, or you can use the Num key to toggle it on. This is all separate to the normal NumLock function, so you can use the embedded numpad for numbers or navigation - which is actually useful for Mousekeys.

sorry for the bad info
