Another question about this keypad. I’ve often thought I would like to have such a keypad connected to my Macbook air to use the numpad commander. The VO controls assignable to the keypad. Would this unit function like that on a Macbook air?
My thinking is that when traveling I could just bring this smaller keypad and use it along with the laptop to have the VO commander available.
