Product Information

Full details

The 3Dconnexion Keyboard Pro with Numpad is designed for professionals in CAD and design who seek enhanced ergonomics and workflow efficiency. Its key benefit lies in the detached numpad and compact keyboard width, allowing for an ideal mouse position and more natural posture, reducing strain during long work sessions. A potential caveat is the learning curve associated with the programmable 3Dconnexion keys for users unfamiliar with such features. This full-size keyboard features QWERTY US English layout, a detachable numpad for customizable desk setups, and 12 programmable function keys for app-specific commands. It offers wired connectivity for secure and stable performance.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the detached numpad?

The detached numpad offers flexibility in desk setup, allowing you to place your mouse or other input devices in a more ergonomic position. It also enables simultaneous use of the numpad and mouse without constant hand repositioning, speeding up data-intensive tasks.

How do I assign custom commands to the 3Dconnexion keys?

You can assign custom commands using the 3DxWare 10 driver software. Open the driver settings, select the keyboard, and choose the specific 3Dconnexion key you wish to customize. You can then assign application-specific commands or macros.

What is the battery life of the detached numpad?

The numpad's rechargeable battery can last for up to six months on a single charge under typical usage conditions.

Can I use the keyboard without installing the 3DxWare 10 driver?

Yes, the keyboard will function as a standard keyboard with basic typing capabilities without the driver. However, to utilize features like programmable keys, custom settings, and the numpad's advanced functions, the 3DxWare 10 driver is essential.

How do I clean the keyboard and numpad?

Gently wipe the surfaces with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or keycaps.

What is the advantage of the keyboard's reduced width?

The keyboard's compact width, achieved by detaching the numpad, allows you to position your mouse closer to the keyboard. This promotes a more neutral wrist and shoulder posture, reducing strain and improving comfort during long work sessions.

Does the keyboard have multimedia keys?

Yes, the 3Dconnexion Keyboard Pro with Numpad includes multimedia keys for convenient control of audio and video playback.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard or numpad not recognized by the computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected. Try a different USB port. Reinstall the 3DxWare 10 driver. For the numpad, check its Bluetooth or wireless connection status and ensure it's within range.

Programmable keys are not working

Verify that the 3DxWare 10 driver is installed and running. Open the driver settings and confirm that the keys are correctly assigned for the active application. Restart the computer.

Numpad battery not charging

Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the numpad and a powered USB port. Try a different USB cable or power source.

Typing feels unresponsive or laggy

Check for any physical obstructions on the keys. Ensure the keyboard's connection is stable. Close unnecessary background applications that might be consuming system resources.

Wireless connection from numpad is unstable

Ensure the numpad is within the optimal range of the keyboard's integrated receiver. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. Recharge the numpad's battery.
