Does this print numbers when numlock is off? I have a laptop where some of the keys are unuseable while numlock is on.

It does work while Num Lock is off, yes. On my keyboard the Num Lock light will flash on per keystroke of this Targus keypad when Num Lock is disabled.

I don't have the number pad handy, but I believe it does work with numlock off as I've never given numlock any thought before I've used the number pad.

Yes, 890, UIO and JKL double as the number pad if you have numlock turned on. Just press numlock to turn it off. Once done, reboot into your computers bios and turn off the auto numlock switch. This will stop it from turning that feature on every time you boot. Either that, or you can get used to turning it off via the keyboard every time you reboot. Up to you.

I'm running windows 7, but I've run it with Linux systems with no problems. As the previous user commented, it sometimes loses the keyboard connection on startup (at least on windows 7; I'm using a PS/2 keyboard with an adpater), but a restart of your machine or rescan of the hardware usually fixes this.

not sure about the keyboard, but try disabling "numlock on startup" in your computer's BIOS

I'm sorry but I have no experience with a Mac and the number pad. Maybe someone else could answer that.

So you haven't used a PC very much? Screen Lock and Scroll Lock do the same as all PC keyboards (nothing). Hold down [Fn] and [ScrLk/NumLk] turn on the 10 key number pad. U becomes 4, I becomes 5, O becomes 6, ect. Don't use it, if you need a number pad get a different keyboard. The media keys on the top row might or might not work depending upon if your OS has media extensions, it varies even between Windows versions.

Hit the 'num lock' key and try the 0 again. The zero key on the number pad is also the 'insert' unless 'num lock' is on. Not sure what's happening with ur ctr keys without knowing what the popup says. But this laptop comes with some predefined shortcuts, so u might be activating one of them - it should give u the option to disable. Otherwise u have to disable it in the control panel.

I am not familiar with this situation, but I can tell you that both keyboards are active at the same time. Any given key, from either keyboard, results in an identical code going to the processor regardless of which keyboard it comes from. Apparently the ASCII codes are identical for both keyboards, so language differences would be specific to the particular windows code that handles key assignment, rather than being differentiated by the specific keyboard.

You can go back and forth between the keypad and all the keys on the laptop. I type on the laptop and use keypad for numbers, but you can use the numbers on laptop also.

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?

I saw this question which is one I had as well. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer elsewhere so I did some tests on a recently purchased Mac version of the keyboard. I connected the Mac version to a Win7 laptop. 1. Where the typical insert key resides (mid-right, next to "Home" and above "Delete"), the key is labeled disk eject. Even though the button is in the same spot as a Windows insert key, it does NOT perform the insert function in Windows. However, the long "0" button on the numeric keypad performs insert as it would on a PC keyboard. Num-lock just has to be disabled. 2. There is no num-lock light. The "clear" key performs num lock, but you don't get an LED to let you know it is enabled. There is only a blue caps lock indicator light. 3. There is no scroll-lock function and no Pause/Break. Where the scroll-lock and Pause/Break keys are located, these are brightness adjust keys for the Mac. Neither key performs its PC keyboard equivalent. So this also means you cannot hit "Ctrl-Pause/Break" to interrupt a process like you can on a standard PC keyboard. 4. If you use the "Print Screen" key in Windows to take screenshots (I do Alt-PrtScr a lot), hopefully there is a way to remap it because the Print Screen key has been replaced by an F13 key and it doesn't do the Print Screen screen grab function in Windows. These answers assume you are just plugging a Mac Das Keyboard straight into a Windows 7 PC with no tweaks. I haven't researched if there's a way to remap keys in Windows to regain the omitted functionality.

Yes, you can turn the print function in or off. The printer will also turn itself completely off after a period of unuse. But you can turn it back on by simply tapping any key.

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

The 2nd key can be disabled with the use of special programs. Try removing all batteries, including the backup, to clear RAM. If the key continues to fail to work, it is probably defective.

It didn't occur to me to try but I would have thought that most of the issues would lie with Android i.e. they would be independant of the keyboard itself. Does android have a key assigning function? I haven't seen one so you migth need an app. Sorry.

The keyboard does NOT have Caps Lock illumination indicator. I agree that is one downside. I do not see a Num Lock button at all.

no you can count your key's not the F key's. Top row is 1-10 so if it say's key 3 you just countin 3 key's and you got it
