numpad emulator Reviews

This is amazingly EXACTLY what I wanted. The only problem is that sometimes (often) it stops working. You press a key... you can see the key working, but it does not enter anything in the cell. Knocked my socks off, then knocked me down. I am hoping someone fixes it. Win 11, office 365 bus. desktop... on Suface Pro 4.

This is exactly what i was looking for, just wanted a numb pad but didn't expect to find one this customizable, had to replace a key but there was an option for it you can also make the keys as big as you want and with any spacing you want really nice !

Thank you so much for this super useful app! It is the perfect numpad, exactly what I was searching for, having a touchscreen laptop without numpad keys. Deeply customizable in a very easy and intuitive way, it is even better than the classic physical numpad!

That what i was search for. It is wonderful, but if you add the click sound to the buttons, it will be a nice option.

I am disabled and found this simple program very useful. Two comments. 1. It wasn't easy to find I was looking for a virtual keyboard not just a numpad which is a shame because it is a full function keyboard. 2. Not sure whether you can assign combinations of modifier keys to a single key? Could a user confirm?

This is such a useful little program! I have purchased a small keyboard (lack of desk space) and that does not have a numeric keypad. I need to use certain characters, that would require the use of alt + xxx on the keypad fairly frequently. Not only has this program allowed me to assign virtual keys with those characters, but I was also able to assign a whole sentence (again, frequently used) to a single key. I don't know how much time this will save me over course of a year, but it will be a good amount. Mostly, the program can be configured without the use of the help file, but it did provide the answer to a couple of issues. Overall, this is a really useful addition for anyone who uses extended ASCII/Unicode symbols or multi-word phrases on a repetitive basis.

A wonderfully simple app that solves the problem of typing Alt codes on the average laptop. Both of mine lack number option on the middle of the keyboard, but even if they were there I think this would be simpler to use. I frequently need fractions, é for café, and ° for temperatures, and even with an external keyboard with the number block I find it easier to use numpad than to remember the codes to use with the Alt key. And I love the feature where a text string can be added - I have keys for my various email addresses as I'm a slow typist. Somebody commented on it being a bit difficult to start adding keys, and you do have to study the Help section, but you don't do it very often so it's OK. There are many symbols where Mr Google gives hex codes but not an accompanying Alt code so they can't be added. I can live without them and most of them I didn't know existed until I searched, but I wonder why both have to be added. Presumably this is a techie thing. numpad sits on both my laptops, and I would recommend it to anybody. (I've not rated the Support row; I've not called on it so cannot score it.)

Really nice bit of kit. I like the flexability of the layout. And I really appreciate that I able to program buttons with Greek letters that I use frequently when writing statistics exams. Really handy especially with my touch screen.

Difficult without instructions. A helpful reviewer helped a bit but before those instructions would work I found you had to configure the program via the settings (right click the icon) Then click on Additional buttons and then click on Alt, Alt-codes then click apply. By exiting the settings (click on the X on top right hand of that screen) you can then use F9 to show or hide the program. An alt key will appear at the bottom of the program screen so you use that key not the Alt key on your keypad to pass the ASCII code to the program you want the character in. After that it works as the other reviewer stated.

Very nice.

The only virtual numeric keyboard I can use on my laptop. The 14" laptop doesn't have its own numeric pad but have a touch screen! Therefore this software is a must if you need to work with spreadsheets with lots of numbers. I haven't found any other software of this kind. It's design is basic, but it works perfectly. The button size can be adjusted in the options. The one thing missing is some tick sound on key press. That would be awesome.

The program answers a genuine need. I have two laptop computers, and although they both have a function ("Fn") key, I have never been able to discover a way to access some kind of hidden numeric keypad. And, believe me, I have tried. I have read all sorts of articles on the subject on the internet, but they were not helpful for my particular problem. My need for the program is that I use letters and symbols that I access from the numeric keypad (for example, the section symbol § is decimal 0167). The Numpad program works, and it will now be on my laptop computers. However, when I tried it the first time, yesterday, I could not get it to work, and I uninstalled it. The program does not come with any instructions, or at least I could not find any. By right-clicking on the tray icon I was able to find a few options for setting up the program, but nothing else. Anyway, after a second try, today, I was able to figure out how to use the program. Here are the key things: 1. After you open the Numpad program, the program takes away the focus from the document that you were working on. You have to put the focus back into the document where you want to insert a symbol. So click at that spot in your document. 2. Now you can use Numpad. For example, to insert the section symbol, do this: 3. Click ALT. 4. Then click 0,1,6,7. You will not see these numbers appear anywhere. 5. Now click ALT again. The section symbol should appear. I gave the program only three stars because it was not intuitive and did not come with instructions.

Please, add a backspace key to the upper right corner... Add font size and style in settings
