higginsdj Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Has anyone worked out how to access the numeric keypad keys on a Surface Pro 2? I can get the on screen keyboard to display but the 'number pad' is simply the number keys and not the numeric keypad keys.....

pixelplucker Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Did you try getting a 3rd party num pad? I use a laptop sometimes and it doesn't have a full size keyboard and missing the numpad, picked up a Targus numpad for around $25. Has nice weight to it so it doesn't slide around. Works well with my cd version of AM on the laptop. Uses a full size usb port. I did notice that the touch/scribe Wacom enabled surfaces don't turn off the touch when using the pen. This causes smudges if you rest your hand on the surface if you draw in paint programs. Until they fix that tiny but stupid oversight I'm holding off. Amazes me how Microsoft can overlook something so obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 12, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'll note that you can create a custom toolbar to make an onscreen replacement for the Numeric Keypad... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsdj Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 A Targus USB Numeric Keypad does the trick - just plug it in and it works just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ya, easier than trying to retrain the brain for new keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
