With NumPad: Your Number Keyboard, that overwhelming feeling of loss, loathing, and general sadness disappears instantly, just by switching keyboards. NumPad is a simple keyboard that provides you with a basic number pad function, similar to what you see on a full-size keyboard. I recently bought an Apple magic keyboard with numeric pad to use with my computer, after reading threads online that you can connect it via Bluetooth to a Windows PC. When I search to add a new Bluetooth device, my PC doesn't find the keyboard. I tested the keyboard with my MacBook Pro where I am able to use it fine.

Apple Keyboard With Number Pad
I found the lack of the number pad along with the feel of the new keyboard to be unsatisfying myself, and I'm looking for a good wireless combination. I'm curious if you are specifically interested in a Bluetooth set or just any wireless set. The Apple Store lists a wireless set from Logitech that's Mac specific, but it is apparently not BT. I want to use BT because of it's reliability and range effectiveness. My second mini is becoming a media center system, hence my desire for the wireless peripherals.
