Fedor, I have no doubt that you want the directional pad. You know its
there and that's great for you. But for someone who just bought this
keyboard and does not know it is there turning the directional pad on by
default can only cause confusion. If someone buys this keyboard and his
numbers don't work he is not going to know to hunt around for a num lock
key. There is no visible num lock key and no arrows on the keyboard that
would indicate that this is expected behavior. It will only seem broken.
Honestly I wish I could put a sticker on everyone's clear key so that they
know it is a num lock key and the directional pad can be on by default but
we can't do that it's out of our control. What we can control is making the
keyboard behave as expected for the majority of people looking at the
keyboard. I don't honestly think that people are going to look at that
clear key and say that it must be a num lock key because it is in the
location normally occupied by the num lock.
