Let know that :
There is a strong lack of compatibility with the newly produced USB
Numerical Key pad made for portable computers (which normally reproduce
the rightest part of a keyboard).
.... The key "5" doesn't work - at least with scan code generation - if
"Num Lock" is not selected.
THIS IS NOT A NORMAL BEHAVIOR !!!!
Of course, the key "5" has no recognised behavior - when NumLock is
disabled - for text line editing, such as all the others of this keypad.
But more than 50% of the games recognise perfectly this key, and use it
for different reasons.
The simplest example that I have verified is Combat Flight Simulator
which uses this key to stabilise the flight of an aircraft in the
right-left leaning axis.
So : "KeyPading" or "Gaming", its a choice ...!!!
Hey, you, USB accessories producers : please don't miss your jobs and
try a bit more in depth your products before putting them on the market,
so as to avoid such mistakes !!!!

PS : Sorry for non english-speaking forums, I think it was worth to warn
you too, even in the language you don't use every day.
