The number pad is basically the same size as on the standard keyboard, but
I find it inconvenient to use. I prefer the standard keyboard, but have
gotten used to my laptop layout and am fine with it. I tried using a
standard plug in keyboard when I was in school, but there was rarely enough
room to comfortably use it.
As for the keypad, there is software that comes with it and no reconfiguring
was required.
Take care,
John

Subject: Dell laptop and numpad
Hi All
Since this was the first time that I heard of the existence of a "numpad"
keyboard, I have a couple of questions - that will probably reflect my
novice status as far as a numpad keyboard goes:
1 If this is plugged into the laptop, does one then keep keyboard setting
in Jaws to "desktop" and use this little numpad keyboard just as one would
on a ordinary "desktop" computer (to work with Jaws)?
2 Is the size of this numpad keyboard matching that of the numpad block on
a normal desktop keyboard?
3 To users that have practical experience with using a laptop, a laptop
into which they have plugged in an external "desktop" keyboard and a laptop
into which they have plugged in this "numpad" keyboard, which option is the
more convenient/practical and if you do not mind, just for in case you have
a reason for your answer which I am not considering, please motivate your
choice?
Thanks.
Renette
