Using the keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and a numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock,
Windows, function and special keys.

Lock keys and numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by
small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify
the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.
