The Numeric Keypad from Belkin uses USB Plug-and-Play technology to offer notebook users the instant benefit of a 19-key, external, numeric keypad in a compact format optimal for the mobile professional. Product Identifiers. 620030, F8E466-MOB, F8E466MOB, DHF8E466MOB. Description This Belkin YourType F8T067TT keypad works with Apple iMac, Mac Pro and MacBook, along with your existing Apple wireless keyboard, so you can add 28 low-profile, island-style keys to your computer. Bluetooth technology enables wireless pairing.

I use a very cheap external numeric keypad on my MacBook Pro under Leopard, and it works fine. The first time I connected it to my MBP, tthe OS asked me what sort of keyboard it was, I answered ISO keyboard, and that's all.
I didn't notice any problem since. OK, I don't use iCal.

The problem i have (haven't tried it in a while with a {C belkion pad) is that i want both the arrow mode and the keypad mode to work.
There's a freeware called Eukeke http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele that
can edit the keyboard file; it's tough though and i could never get
the belkin to play right.
Does anyone have recommendations for Tiger and Leopard for
'mac friendly' external numeric keypads?

Bam! You nailed it for me. I had an old Toshiba external and that did it. Before the tip, OSX thought it was a full keyboard. Thanks!

I have a macbook with OS X, and holding down the num lock key while I connected the usb cable worked like a charm. It still said that the keyboad would need to be identified before it could be used properly, but I just closed that screen, went to excel, and the number pad worked fine. Thanks for the tip!!

i bought a targus numeric keypad which is just for pc's but the second trick where i held the number lock down for over four seconds while it was plugged into my macbook made it work in programs that it was not working in before i tried. thanks for the tip.

My problem was that I had Mouse Keys turned on in the Universal Access system preferences panel. Once I turned that off, I got numbers again.

I had to sign up to post and say 'thank you' for this tip! I have a new 15' MacBook Pro and was having a problem trying to get my cheapo external number pad to work. The second trick -- holding down the Num Lock key for 4 seconds -- worked the second time I tried it. Also, I had to close the applications I was trying to use the number pad in and re-open them after holding down the Num Lock key before it would work. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I do subtitling and CC's with Swift software installed on parallels. Swift Create uses numeric keyboard and I have been lugging around a huge keyboard because the numeric one wasn't working. I held down the num lock before plugging it in and now it works! Thank you!
