Hello everybody.

I have a wireless mac keyboard, the one without the numpad on the left. Now i need to use my numpad. is there a way to change part of the keyboard into a numpad? See on windows it's like this Using the Number Pad on a Laptop keyboard is there a way to do this on mac?

Do you have the Magic Trackpad? If so, you can turn it into a Number Pad. I just saw something this weekend in the Apple Store for that - an overlay for the trackpad. Didnt think much of it, as I dont really need it.

There are also USB number pad keypads as well.

Yes, as long as the Windows keyboard is connected via USB (and not the older PS2) it should work. Some of the keys will be different but you can easily compensate for that.

Yes, any USB-based numberpad would work also. The BT add-on is perhaps more elegant but then it's another set of batteries I suppose. :)
