Picture of Super Mini Compact Keyboard with Embedded Numeric Keypad

Full size alpha keys, efficient layout, quiet membrane keyswitches - an economical compact keyboard.

This keyboard has an 88 key layout with an embedded numeric keypad to offer full 104 key functionality. All the letter keys are full size with a 19.05 mm / .75" key pitch (the space between the centre of neighbouring keycaps) - only some of the bottom row and right column are slightly narrower.

This keyboard is available in black, white or silver (PS/2) and white or black (USB). The French Canadian layout (click to view) is only available in black or white (USB) and white (PS/2).

Summary of How the Embedded Numeric Keypad Functions

Legending: The numeric keypad is legended on the front of the keycap which faces the bottom of the keyboard (not on the top of the keycaps). The navigation keys are legended on the top of the keycaps.

To Activate the Numeric Keypad:
Press and release the Num Lock key once (i.e. a toggle). The green light at the top right hand corner of the keyboard labeled Num Lock will light up. You must then depress the Fn (Function) key and hold it down while depressing the embedded numeric keypad keys.

To Deactivate the Numeric Keypad: Press and release the Num Lock key once (i.e. a toggle). The green light at the top right hand corner of the keyboard labeled Num Lock will turn off.

With NumLock On: The keypad will generate letters only when the Num Lock is on and the Fn (Function) key is depressed.

With NumLock Off: Most computers will boot up with Num Lock off, and in this case, the numeric keypad will perform its normal keyboarding functions. The navigation keys can be accessed by holding down the Fn (Function) key and pressing the appropriate key on the embedded numeric keypad.
