    I started my comp programming class last week and its really slow typing in all the numbers and functions using the top row. So all I need is a stand alone numpad, wireless would be nice. I looked around online but I couldn't find anything.

    Thanks, looks like I'm going to get this. One more thing though. I already have the logitech lx8 cordless mouse and I was wondering if I could use just the one receiver because they look very similar.

    I don't know if you can use two devices with the same receiver or not.

    I believe you you will need two separate receivers. Both will have to be on different frequencies or you will notice interference.
