Numeric keys work during initial sign-on, but not after booting up. Posted on Feb 12, AM. This setting is called Mouse Keys, which allows a user to control the onscreen cursor using the number pad on an extended keyboard.
The most obvious indicator that Mouse Keys is the reason the numeric keypad is not working is that when you type a number, the mouse cursor moves very slightly, thus if you try to type a bunch of numbers the mouse cursor on screen may seem to jiggle around a bit in a small area. This is not always very obvious though because the Mouse Keys feature is intended to be precise and allow for fine manipulation of onscreen elements, thus you should always check for the setting when troubleshooting the matter.

That makes some sense, at least, because that key is where Num Lock normally lives on other keyboards. Note: I don't have the same keyboard to test with, but I'm guessing this document isn't actually Boot Camp-specific; it's just a guide to how the keys are mapped under Windows.

Gremlins live in our computers just to challenge us. Thank you again. It not working. I have two keyboards. Second one is good mechanic ANSI keyboard with real numlock. Both of them are not working. The worst thing is Karabiner not works on Sierra. Thank you so much. Having none of the number keys working has been driving me mad for weeks.
Using the pad would sometimes freeze everything so I would have to re-launch the Finder. Now thanks to you, turning Mouse keys OFF has given me back my numeric keypad. Thank you very very much again. I was unable to use the right side of my wireless keyboard 7 8 9 u i o j k l m ,. And you helped me fix the problem mouse settings. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I now have my number keypad back working again.
Thanks for the help here. Thank you Glade. This article is great, I enjoyed reading it and it taught me what I needed to know about finding the num lock and clear button on a Mac keyboard.
Thanks for the odd tip of pressing alt or option 5 times. Why I do not know, but it unblocked my keyboard. Please I need help with my Macbook Pro. My keyboard is working perfect except for the numeric no but 0 is working except for the other numbers. Some problem here. I tried all of the suggestions. The numeric keypad works for all applications except MS Excel, which is where I need it most. The problem started after I used CleanMyMac. I suspect that I deleted a file that was used by Excel.
Any suggestions? Keyboard keypad works fine everywhere but the terminal app. Cannot get it to do anything but weird text like mouse keys — but those are turned off. Very frustrating! Looks like I need to google some more. HEY presto success. Thank you Apple community. When it was set up, the number pad worked OK. When I set up a second logon, the number pad stopped working.
My new keyboard on my imac, the number keys stopped, I tried many , eventually I had other silly problems and shut down to reboot, on startup a suggestion came on the screen regards this and it said to press option key 5 times and it worked. Thanks so much! Thank you so much! Been using the stupid number keys over the top of the keyboard forever, but I love this Logitech keyboard I have.
Now I can enjoy doing my bills at home again…kind of…they are bills after all. My wife had several times this problem in Word only in Word. What did work was deleting the Word preference. Check their site or support forum and see what TF is up? Are you talking about in Windows Bootcamp? I tried shift-clear also and nothing happens. My numpad keys always work no matter what. I just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPad and now my Lodgitech Bluetooth wireless keyboard no longer seems to work with the upgrae.
Can anyone help me? Please Help Me People!!! Funny, I experienced this exact problem very recently. So you can only tell by mashing a bunch of things and figuring out if something starts working.
And speaking of keyboards, this reminds me of the other weird keyboard decision but in the iOS world — the weirdo Caps Lock and Shift key! On an iOS device when the shift key arrow is white and the key is grey you will be typing lower case alpha characters.
Single tap on the shift key to have a single upper case letter.
