For those who might want to go the wireless route on the numeric keypad, the Belkin Your Type Wireless Keypad is sold by Apple for around $50 but you might find it for less elsewhere. I did have trouble getting it to work but the solution is simple. Here's what happened for me:
First of all, tits in on the batteries, for what it's worth. After turning it on, I went to set it up and was prompted to press the key immediately to the right of the left shift key. Obviously, there isn't one. I pressed the z key on a wired keyboard and was slapped on the hand by the OS but this got me to a new dialog, previously unattainable, where I hit the skip button. This brought me to a new dialog where I could choose between Japanese, European and American layout. I chose the third radio button and hit OK. Still it wouldn't work. It was certainly recognized and the OS reported it as being connected but it was unresponsive to any commands. Finally, after about a half an hour with Apple support and then another 15 minutes of Belkin support, I was told to turn off the unit, take out the batteries, wait a few seconds, put 'em back in and power on the keypad once again. Poof. It works well and has virtually no latency and, as mentioned in my previous message, does respond to modifiers issued from a separate device. Now, that separate device happened to be a wired keyboard so I have yet to try a modifier from a BlueTooth keyboard along with the Belkin keypad. I do have high hopes.
