do you have to have a kinesis number pad, or will other number pads work with this keyboard?

The kinesis keypad is sold separately, and yes other keypads should work with this keyboard.

Well... I Use a calulator call Num Pad (very old) I can change if from ten key (which I normally use) to calculator. When I use calculator use it does do what you are asking. Does that help?

Are you referring to using a trackpad? This keyboard doesn't have one. Maybe you need to refer to another model that does have one.

I thought when I read the instructions on mine, it said 4 or 5 digit codes accepted. Yes, order matters. Note that the "keypad" has 1/2 on one key, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0, so really FIVE options, not 10. So, 1-3-5-7-9 is the SAME as 2-4-6-8-0. And 1-1-1-1 would be the same as 1-2-1-2, or 1-1-1-2 or 1-1-2-2, etc.

This works with the standard bluetooth keyboard. Unfortunately, I don't have the USB keyboard with number pad so cannot comment on that...

Yes I miss having the number key pad.... so if I get into heavy numerical typing, I can just plug in my keyboard from my desktop.

Logitech MX5500, SMK-Link VP6220, Macally BTKey, just to mention three Bluetooth keyboards all with numeric keypads. Hope that helps.

Yes all of the home/end. Arrow keys, etc are on the number pad, you have to press nmu lock to switch them. And the F keys require no activation that I've noticed, I'm always able to use them without any other key toggling them.

Since this pad has 1 USB port you can use any keyboard that takes a USB connection. This works well until you need to use the USB drive for something else.

Hi Laura. I just sold my Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard on eBay last month because of my unhappiness with the key action. Yes, it is a long throw and quite unsatisfying. It isn't tactile at all and I expect more from Kinesis than this. To specifically answer your question, there is no way that I'm aware of to shorten the keystroke. I wish there was!

There are numbers across the top of the keyboard. If you want an excellent wireless keyboard with dedicated number keypad, I'd recommend the Logitech K750 which is amazing.

I honestly don't know... mainly because I don't know what system you have. I just looked on the back side of my keypad that failed and got a make/number off of it and did a search.

Hello, I own 4 of these and small fingers can be a problem but the key pad works perfectly. Its a bliss to program.

The USB that is required for this numeric keyboard is wireless and to my best knowledge will not connect up properly with your other wireless keyboard. You can buy a USB extension hub to consolidate your requirement for extra USB connections.

I have no clue, however, I do know you need an adapter to connect it. Mine came with it. After that, its the same as any other keyboard I've used.

There is a ribbon with a connector on it coming from the trackpad area. I unplugged the old keyboard and plugged the new one in. No extra ribbons were required.
