I own no keyboards with working number pads. Most laptops are not very usable in number pad mode. I am ok with the hjkl controls, though I really would prefer to be able use standard arrow keys in nethack. (I prefer to use "k" to kick down doors.) I have never found a way to do so though, except for using graphical versions that are not as much fun to play. -- see shy jo
