Susan,
Unless you substituted a working keyboard for a non-working one, you really
don't know for sure if the problem lies with the keyboard, or with the
keyboard driver in the machine where the keyboard didn't work
correctly. This question may have as much to do with software as it does
with hardware.

Brands and model numbers are a start, but not a guarantee. I was involved in a training once, with 12 identical computer setups. Eight of the keyboards could not do 6-key entry. All the keyboards had the same model number, but obviously the chip was not the same in all of them.
As far as HP goes, my husband and I have owned 6 HPs over the years. All
of the keyboards (including my notebook) would do 6-key entry ... until the
one I got last fall. And of course, it's very possible that if I had gotten another
box with the same model or a different model, the keyboard would have worked.
As the saying goes, it's a crap shoot. You buy, you try, and you return it if necessary.

One of the best keyboards I have found is manufactured by Compaq and you can purchase them at Radioshack for less than $20. In fact, the last time I bought one it was only $15. Marjorie Arnott
