==Types== ;Cluster :The standard numeric keypad is a cluster of keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard. The exact keys found in this cluster varies between computer types; in addition to the digits 0β9 and the decimal point (or decimal comma), "calculator" keys (+, /, - and *) are typical, along with an additional [[enter key]]. ;Embedded :An embedded, or integrated, numeric keypad is an implementation of a numeric keypad as a [[layer]] mapped to the right-hand side of the main keyboard cluster. Typically, this is arranged such that the primary and numeric keypad layers share the 7, 8 and 9 keys of the number row. Embedded numeric keypads are a standard feature of laptops with a dedicated numeric keypad cluster. Typically with integrated numeric keypads, they are toggled with [[num lock]] and only provide numeric entry. In some cases, they are instead toggled with a [[pad lock]] key, and num lock switches between numeric and navigation entry as it does on a full-sized keyboard. ;Standalone :Numeric keypads can also be found as standalone units. These are designed to supplement laptops and [[tenkeyless]] keyboards, and have an advantage that they can be placed on either side of the keyboard. This allows the user to have the advantages of both a numeric keypad and a tenkeyless keyboard.
