Phil,
My question was very specific, I did not see the need to bloat the
list with unrelated information.

. . . what if it were true?

I don’t know about that Mister Believer, it might have been a help to any
number of people. It’s not just about you after all. Yes, it was your initial
question, but lots of us read these messages and glean other useful information
from them. Some people might not have known about the USB option.
Maybe you should have mentioned your familiarity with all the USB and other
options out there right up front.
That way you wouldn’t have been subjected to such extraneous and personally
unhelpful information. We’re all bound to get a little chaff with the wheat
when we ask for help on these free forums, Sometimes our questions even go
completely unanswered which is frustrating for some. so maybe overlooking would
serve us better than complaining.
For myself, I will continue to ask and answer any and all Mac related questions
on this forum as I see fit.

It does not help any when people make suggestions that were not asked for.
In this case, I was asking about Bluetooth keypads for a good reason.
I have both of Apple's keyboards, wired and wireless. At the moment, I am
using the wired one with my Macbook so I have access to a keypad when I need
it. I am short of desk space so its rather messy.
Bluetooth devices cna be put anywhere or even on a shelf if its not needed.
USB connections can be problematic what with all the cables and the need to
move items around.
Cheryl, that keypad looks nice. I had skimmed over it earlier today. Maybe I
do not really need an equals key but if remapping can solve that, its a
possibility.
Interesting that Apple males a wired full size keyboard but not a wireless
one.

Yes, I actually have the usb keyboard. It is a nice keyboard but (1) it is usb
not bluetooth) an (2) it is significantly longer than a regular Apple keyboard
and of course much longer than a numeric keypad. Especially if you are using a
computer that already has a built-in keyboard, you may want something with a
much smaller footprint rather than the full usb one. But most definitely, if
the usb Apple keyboard does meet your needs, there's no particular need to buy
a separate numeric keypad. I think the issue is that a lot of people are using
a bluetooth keyboard, not just with iMacs and minis, but also with macbooks,
and often don't want to carry around the longer usb keyboard and have to plug
it into the computer on top of that. Apple used to put out a bluetooth keyboard
that was full, including numeric keypad; one of mine died and the other was
given to a friend but they never worked with iOS devices and I don't know for
sure if they still work with newer Macs though they mig
