Newer Tech Bluetooth Keypad for Use on S3P

I purchased this keypad because I wanted a Bluetooth option rather than a USB connection. The key pad works excellently on my Surface 3 Pro. Its thin perfect angle and the unit is very solid. Have been using heavily the past few days and its worked flawlessly, no lag in numbers being entered on spreadsheet. I had a problem at the beginning. Pairing worked as advertised. The keypad would not work as there is no NUM LOCK on the S3P. I called chatted with the Newer Tech Technical help line, and they told me that the driver was not good on the S3P and it would not work with Windows 10 as they had not tested with it. This consumed a better part of 30 minutes and the tech support in my opinion was far from good. There were long periods of no response to a simple question. I did an internet search and found out that there is a way to have the NUM LOCK set on the S3P.

WIN + R
Type OSK
Enter OK

On the screen will appear an On Screen Keyboard with a Number Key, touch or click the NUM Lock and you are in business. I am not a Techie an if I could spend 20 minutes doing a search the Newer Tech support should have known this right up front.
