Serwiseguy Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hello everyone, I have a gaming laptop and it does not have a numeric keypad. I bought a wireless keypad to bind my skills to. It will bind 1 skill, but that's it. For example, if I put Slot 1 as keypad 1, it will show "NUM" instead of 1. When I switch to slot 2, "NUM" appears again, but disappears from slot 1. I know NUM stands for num lock, so I turned that off. When I tried that, I received "end" for the key selected instead of NUM. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

JediQuaker Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That might depend a lot upon the particular keypad. It could have something to do with a 'driver' - if it came with a driver try uninstalling the driver, and see if it works without it. Or conversely, install a driver for the keypad. The obvious workaround would be to plug a standard USB keyboard into the laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I will likely pull out a keyboard and just use that going forward. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, i play with game laptop as well. Instead of a keypad, i bought an MMO mouse. I think your problem is that you have not set up your keypad first. Besides the driver, you require special software designed to map regular keys to each key/button in your keypad(look for your brand model on internet, you will find one to download). You need to set that up before going to swtor (or any game) to set the keybindings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
