I purchased a new laptop computer a couple of months ago. It lacks the numeric keypad that my old laptop has. Others offered this feature but were priced much higher than the sale model I opted to buy. I used the new laptop just once before concluding that the number row on the keyboard was a poor substitute for a numpad when performing some of the duties of my volunteer treasurer role. I read articles online about usb add-ons and learned there are two designs from which to choose. Some are like a typical computer keyboard with silicone layers below the keys. The one I selected is a mechanical device. Much like those on an old adding machine, the keys offer resistance and clicking and clacking when pressed. In this way, I can tell without looking at the screen whether I have entered a number.
