Hi all,

I am not sure this is the right place, but please let me know if you can help me. I would like to purchase a keyboard with a separate number pad, something like this:



Does anybody know if these detached number pads are compatible with using Windows ALT characters? I use these characters all the time so I don't want to lose that functionality. I also think a detached number pad would be very useful while traveling with my laptop.

thanks
Jane
