Questions & Answers for Mobee Magic Numpad for Apple Magic Trackpad

In the Parallels Application, go to Devices / Keyboard / Click on Numlock. This worked for me.

From what I have seen and read on the Twelve South Magic Wand, is just a plastic piece that will hold the keyboard and the magic trackpad together. I don't see why it wouldn't work with the magic track pad. It would not interfere with the placement or function.

That "easily switch" thing is no longer current. The Mobee software only switches to trackpad mode - it won't go back to numpad (although you can use F6 on the keyboard). I use BetterTouchTool to toggle between trackpad and numpad modes - among many other gestures I have assigned to it (and also to my Magic Mouse and the keyboard - it's magnificent).

But the answer is yes, the Apple commands are active even when you have numpad mode turned on. The reason is that you have to tap and immediately release a number on the 10-key for it to interpret it as a numeric entry.

However, you'll probably want to use the mode in which just under half the trackpad is a regular mouse area if you're going to use the trackpad normally. Note that it doesn't matter which of the three overlays you put on the trackpad - the mode is switched in the Mobee software.
