Numeric keypad

A numeric keypad, number pad, numpad, or ten key,[1][2][3] is the palm-sized, usually-17-key section of a standard computer keyboard, usually on the far right.

[4] As smaller keyboards such as those found on laptops often lack a number pad, many companies sell separate numpads that can be connected to a device by means such as USB; some of these may include keys not found on a standard numpad, such as a spacebar or a 00 (or 000) key.

Numeric keypads are useful for entering long sequences of numbers quickly, such as in spreadsheets, financial/accounting programs, and calculators.

The minimum required speed for many data entry jobs is around 1200 KPH with good accuracy.

Numeric keypads are also used for playing some oldercomputer games where the player must control a character, such as roguelikes and Sid Meier's Pirates!.
