Thanks for all the testing and research Slau. I think I'll go down the USB
route.
Scott, I've had a quick look around and the Adesso one Slau mentioned is sixty
eight quid on Amazon UK so somebody is having a laugh their. I've got time this
morning so I'll have a more in depth look and get
Scott, this is the closest to the one Slau has on the UK Amazon store. Its a
nineteen key Adesso but an ever so slightly different model. Its a tenner so
I'm going to get one and I'll let you know how it goes when it arrives.

Hi Alan,
Yes, modifiers as in Command, Option, etc. They didn't seem to work across
wireless devices but they do work across wired devices. So, if wireless doesn't
matter to you in this case, the Adesso num pad definitely works nicely.
For those who acquire one, the retracting USB cable is
Years ago, I bought a Logitech blueTooth keypad for my MacBook Pro. It was OK
but I just tried it the other day and it simply didn't work. New batteries in
it, I couldn't get the num pad to respond at all. So much for reliability. I've
ordered a new Belken num pad from Apple which should arrive
Slau,
Thanks for this!
I've been shuffling back and forth with a wireless keyboard in my rig
for the past several weeks, and I've been wondering how I could cut
down on extra accessories but still maintain the ability to easily
edit! Off to order this Asap!

I've been looking for something like this for a long time as well. I certainly
use an Apple Pro keyboard most of the time as I often prefer not to necessarily
have the laptop in front of me but, for those instances where it's actually
preferable, the keyboard is redundant so the num pad is
If anyone in the UK has more luck than I just did in finding a place
to pick one of these up on the right side of 20 quid, please post it
to the list.
Cheers

Hi all.
Slau, could this be the solution to my query the other day? The retractable USB
numpad sounds perfect, although I'm not entirely sure what is meant by the term
modifiers in this case... Is it the issue with using command or option on the
MBP with the numbers on the USB numpad?
Hi Alan,
I'm not Slau, but yep, your understanding of modifiers in this context
is spot on. Should work fine for you if you're not fussed about the
numpad being wireless. I've been big on remapping up until now to keep
the load as light as possible when traveling, but a numpad isn't
exactly going
