I have this numeric keyboard but I have to tell, that as professional Datacernter we have one very big problem with this Microsoft keyboard, because on the beginning, when you type the fist number, the keyboard don't type the first numbers, like it is in a "wake up" mode. So we have all the time to check, if the keyboard Insert the first number. The next we will try the Lenovo numeric keyboard. For private user it's a useful gadget but not for professional user.

Hi Church420, yes I totally agree that Asus Duos are great laptops. Asus has been around for decades and their way of innovation is very impressive. Yes, this number pad works very well with my Asus Zenbook Duo, pretty sure it should work with your Zephyrus Duo too.

Hi, Just got the number pad after seeing you review. It's great but the major draw back is that it doesn't have a tab button which I will need for my extensive use of excel. I've tried to program the key through the Microsoft mouse and keyboard software but it doesn't have a tab option. Do you have any suggestions/ tips? thank you

Ya if we don't switch it off it won't do anything, which means it won't waste battery too. I usually can't be bothered to switch it off. And when my computer keeps repeating typing lots of 0000000000, then I know I forgot to switch it off and something in my bag has accidentally pressed and held down the zero button on the number pad. 😄

Not sure, are you asking about how to enter ASCII character by holding down the Alt key followed by the ASCII number of the symbol? If we have a keyboard and this number pad both paired to a computer, then we will have the alt key to perform this key command. Haven't tried before, so not sure.

It's the second time I read this. This would be very inconvenient for programming. Can someone else confirm that if you don't use the numpad for a while and then type on it, the keypress isn't transmitted instantly but after one second or so? It might be doing this to save the battery?
