Numeric keypad keys without numeric keypad

[Cherry1990]

I bought a Pok3r keyboard and would like to buy, in the next months or years, a tenkeyless keyboard.
My problem is that I use A LOT the "*", "+" and "-" keys. How I can simulate these keys in a compact or tenkeyless keyboard?

Please, don't tell me to buy a separate keypad...

And, no, the keypad keys are not the same of the main keyboard...

Thank you!

P.S.: Ok, why I want to buy a tenkeyless keyboard? I would like to try to have the mouse in a less uncomfortable position...

If you opt for a programmable board, I'd put them as primaries on PrintScreen/ScrollLock/PauseBreak and have the originals as functions (with an Fn key).

I have no idea if it is possible with software.

I did not know it. I will try, also if the project has been abandoned...

I thought the Pok3r was programmable but I do not know how to program keys that do not exist...

You do have a point, but I had a TKL in mind!
Don't get a Poker! Get a truly programmable keyboard. NerD60 is great although a bit expensive. Fits Poker cases just fine and has a nice GUI for programming.

Unfortunately I already bought the Pok3r... It is built very well and it is a pleasure to type on, but the layout is not for me.
I will check for the NerD60, thank you!
