Great, refined, useful

There are a few other number pad apps out there, but this one is both pretty and more useful than most of its competitors, in that it connects via VNC rather than requiring users to install proprietary software. Bear in mind that it is about 3/4 the size of a normal number pad owing to the smaller screen, so youll have to type with one finger. It also sports the arrangement of arrow keys and page up/page down/etc. I havent tested it on Windows, but it connected no problem to my Mac. I do have a few minor gripes, though:

• Holding a key causes it to repeat after a moment, but theres no way to set the repeat rate, so its considerably slower than the setting on my Mac.
• The decimal key looks at first glance like a semicolon. It makes no sense.
• When the decimal separator is set to period rather than auto, it inputs "v" instead of . because I use a Dvorak keyboard where V is in the position occupied by the period key on a QWERTY layout.
• It might be too small to be practical, but Id like to be able to turn it sideways and see both number pad and arrows at once.
