Numerical Keypad Look out!
No except Lauch knows about my trouble with the numerical keypad on my mac and exernal keyboards on my mac trouble. It has been really frustrating ever since Lauch left and I have had use of his nice shiny Apple Pro Keyboard that I couldn’t use the keypad. It would do all sort of weird things, but never type numbers.. which is the main reason for it. So today when I purchase a nice new and very shiny white Apple bluetooth keyboard, I was argasts that it also had the same problem. This meant it had to be software, but what part??? Every time in the past I have searched for this problem, I have found nothing to help me. So today I was determined to work it out.
The Problem
Apple numerical keypad don’t work properly.
Solution
Don’t be an idiot.. goto the the system preferences and then accessibility pane. Click on the mouse tab and then turn off “Mouse Keys”. Then get a stiff drink for putting up with the stupid setting for so long.
The only reason I worked it out is because I acidently leaned on the new keyboard and saw the cursor move.
