It even comes with a grey flannel bag to hold the number pad.
The number pad has a Num Lock button, but I can't see any indicator lights to show which mode it is in. The state is flashed on your screen when you switch modes, so this is not much of a problem. With Num-Lock off, the keys behave as you would expect (except they aren't labeled):
| Num Lock | / | * | Extend |
| Home | Up | Pg Up | + |
| Left | n/a | Right | |
| End | Down | Pg Dn | Enter |
| Insert | Del | ||
What is interesting is the Extend Key. In Excel, you can press this key followed by the arrow keys to select a range of cells. In Word, the key reverts to dash. To get the Insert key to work properly in Word, you need to go to "Options" ==> "Advanced" and select "Use Insert key to control overtype mode". [This is a fix for all keyboards, not just this model.]
[I am awaiting my Microsoft Arc Touch mouse and will add my impressions here once I receive it.]
