So I have a Ducky keyboard and don't have access to the num-pad numbers.

There is a game that requires me to specifically use these numbers but I can't do it because the 1-9 i have do not work as it has to be the num-pads numbers

Is there a way around this?

There is a couple of options.
Use windows built-in onscreen keyboard. Not really practical.
Buy an external numpad.
Or use a hotkey software to reprogram keys. Though this could be against TOS in some games.

I have the same issue with a keyboard I bought.
I bought a cheap attachable num pad (for when I require it) and it works perfectly.

I bought the 60% board out of popularity and didn't realize how much I actually needed the num pad.

Darn it.
Seems to be the only solution, let's see if I can find one

Yes sadly the popular option is not always the best for everyone.
I even prefer a 100% keyboard with a single row of macro keys.

I'm all for it if I can make it work a 100%
The problem is I need to make sure that in-game (no window size available, just fullscreen) that I can press the NUM-keys

To activate a certain map you need to press and hold left shift, left ctrl, left alt + type in 4 numbers on the numeric key pad.
The shift, ctrl and alt is no problem on my keyboard but the numeric keypad is what screws me over.

I tried doing shift,ctrl,alt plus normal numbers on my keyboard but it just doesn't work.. it has to be the NUM-keys for some reason..

If the game you're playing allows AutoHotKey, you can use that program and run a script that will let you press a button to toggle your numbers 0-9 to simulate you pressing the numpad.

Here's the script:


If you aren't comfortable with that, or the game you're playing doesn't allow AHK, I definitely recommend buying the external num pad like the others in the thread are suggesting.
