Hi Garry,
Try the Lenovo 33L3225 USB Numeric keypad. This worked for me when I
wanted to get a numeric keypad that I could use for learning the
Numpad Commander sequences in Leopard on my Macbook, and also checked
out correctly for my previous 12" PowerBook, and under Linux on a
ThinkPad as well as under Windows XP on the Windows side of that dual-
boot machine. See this archived post on: "Re: external numpad for the
Mac"
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg25812.html
It links to the original post I made about the USB numeric keypad, and
gives a direct link for purchasing this product that still works.
(That post was made just after this list moved to Google Groups, and
before archiving at the secondary Mail Archive site was turned on, so
it doesn't come up easily in a search; using the Mail Archive search
facilities typically works about 10 times faster for me than trying to
search on the Google Groups page for this list.)
I'll also point you to Erik Burggraaf's post from a month ago on the
KeyRemap4MacBook software linked on:

HTH. Cheers,

Hi,
I've been working on getting both Linux and Windows 7 VMs working as I
want within Fusion. I've of course hit the frustrations of keyboard
mappings due to the lack of a numeric keypad on the Macbook.
Though the work-arounds are probably going to be functional I can see
me getting frustrated during long sessions. So I'm wondering if
anyone has used any USB or Bluetooth numeric keypads with a Mac?
Several are Mac compatible and though I'm pretty sure they'll work
fine for numeric entry I do wonder how well the key codes will be
interpreted if I'm simultaneously using the insert on the keypad as a
modifier along with keys on the keyboard. Even more exciting when
considering this being passed to a VM.
Or do I just say screw it and buy a wireless keyboard that includes a
numeric keypad, though those seem harder to find.
Regards,
Garry
