    I'm probably going to seem like an idiot, but oh well. I just noticed that my 1520 has what looks like the set up of a number pad thing, mixed into the keyboard. I mean... if you look at the jkluio789 keys, there are corresponding numbers in blue printed on them, set up like a number pad. I tried using num lk to type with it, and just got the normal letters to come out. Anyone know how I would go about using this? I may be missing something seriously simple, but this would be awesome if it worked.

    Use the FN key placed between the Windows Logo key and the Alt key on the left side of the keyboard-Hold it down while typing each number.
