It shouldn't be related to either OS or software. Anyone USB should be plug and play on Linux. As for customizable as long as keydowns send signals to Emacs as they should if not mechanically defect they are customizable like the ordinary keyboard or any other input device. I have a keypad on my keyboard but I never use it. I think the numbers above the ordinary keys are faster. Perhaps if you'd do some telephone thing, or otherwise would input numbers repeatedly (e.g., social security numbers at a bank), perhaps a keypad would be cool... -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 48 Blogomatic articles -
