It is a PC keyboard extension, and as a consequence the annoying NUMLOCK behaviour will not change. Note the top left key is labeled NUMLOCK, and it really is. It will provide you with a PC style keypad if your (laptop) keyboard doesn't have one. With a "normal" PC keyboard that already has a numeric keypad on the side, it adds no value whatsoever. /Wilm ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:13:09 +0200 From: G?ran ?hling <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Simh] LK keyboards, anyone? Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Try http://www.lk4xxkeyboards.com/ Please don't fall into the pitfall believing COTS USB / PS-2 converters will cope with the "extra keys" of a DEC keyboard. If your computer has USB only for keyboard - go for a true USB LK-keyboard. I even tested a PCI card with PS-2 connectors. It showed up to actually be an USB PCI adaptor combined with a USB - PS-2 simple cheapo... Please be aware that even if your current computer has PS-2, that might not be the case with your next computer... And I agree totally, PC-keyboards really sucks if you want to operate for example the EDT-editor... Besides, my fingers like the style and shape of true LK's before flat PC-keyboards...
