Talk:Numeric keypad

message: The article does not mention the raised bar on the "5" button, it has a raised bar just like the "F" and "J" button does.

message: * Numpad should be worth of its own article. Some applications such as bank teller computers even have a splitted numpad for easy typing.--202.77.13.1 09:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: I searched for "numpad" on wikipedia to find out why the 123 and 789 keys are placed different from the way they are on for example a phone, but this is not mentioned. Nor is it mentioned on the "keypad" page. I believe I'm not the only one interested in knowing why this is so. I will look for the answer elsewere and if I find it I'll add it to the article. If someone else knows/finds it first, please be so kind as to add it yourself. Manos1394
According to the article: However, the arrangement of the numbers is similar to that on the keyboards of calculators.
This is not true, calculators come in both flavors. Removing that sentence (it doesn't add much anyways ;-) Jaho (talk) 14:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was with HP when the HP35 came about, worked at Page Mill Road, and I remember the time when rotary dials were replaced by pushbuttons. We always had long discussions which way to layout the block. Old (electro-)mechanic calculators and even modern oneshttps://www.bueroshop24.de/ta-121-pd-eco-tischrechner-313217 have 123 at the bottom, below often 0, 00, 000, or 0, 00, decimal point or comma. Phones started with 123 at the top, as "normal" people were to use them, not just office clerks. (Sweden started the rotary dial with 0 instead of 1, so all international DDD had to regenerate the dial’s impulses.) And then there was an even longer discussion how to standardize the letters onto the number keys of the touchtone phones, as rotarys had different setups in London and New Yorkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_exchange_names#Europe.

thread_title:  number pad 5 with num lock off 

message: Numeric keypads positioned to the right of a standard typewriter keyboard date back to the mid 1960s.  Specifically, the Singer/Friden 2210/2211 Flexowriter had one.  See the photo and caption here.  This was definitely not a computer keyboard, but rather, an electric typewriter with attached paper-tape reader and punch.  Yes it was used with computers, but it could also operate as a stand-alone word processor. Douglas W. Jones (talk) 21:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too specific to computers 

message: Wikipedia readers likely come across fewer computer keypads, if at all, than ATM machine keypads. It should be mentioned what is the likely ATM arrangement of numbers.
