Things to remember when pairing the Bluetooth Calculator Keypad to a Windows 10 device: 1. The keypad will need to be in 'On Keypad' mode when pairing.

Satechi is a known player in the accessories market for Mac. They offer hubs, mounts, chargers, mice, and also keyboards. The Satechi Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard is similar to a couple of keyboards that I already tested above. It has similar spacing in between the keys as Logitech K750 Solar. I had originally posted a temporary fix for the Number Lock Keypad problem where number pads for Windows 10 machines were just not working at all.

I have now discovered the fix for this issue which was actually right underneath our noses.
