Hi Mike,
maybe i am not the only one who is using an USB num pad to run the shows.
I am placing it on my sounddesk and the Laptop with SCS is standing beside the sounddesk. I am using the big "Enter" Button on it to trigger the Cues, the "+" & "-" Button to navigate up and down in the Cuelist und the "Backspace" Button the terminate the Cues. The number buttons are hotkeys. The standard USB num pad has no spacebar, arrow and escape button. Maybe there is a way to double/alternate the Buttons in SCS? So that GO would be triggered by "Spacebar" and "Enter". So you can use the Numpad and the Laptop keyboard at the same time and keep the "spacebar" and "arrow" buttons on the Laptop.
That would be nice.
regards tocsin

I use almost the same keypad for theatre work, where I have a script in front of me and a regular keyboard is too big. And I can hold the keypad in my lap, or put it on top of the script. I bought 2 of them for $5 each.

I also use something similar - the Logitech version which is wireless (Unifying Bluetooth), so only one Bluetooth receiver (on the laptop) which simultaneously connects to a wireless keyboard, mouse and keypad. The keypad can be reconfigured to suit SCS as required. I can then move around the theatre and trigger cues, whilst sound checking. A simpler and more elegant solution than the Ipad app I created some years ago.
