numeric keypad

Calculator-style input section

A numeric keypad is a set of number keys arranged in a grid, typically found on the right side of full-sized computer keyboards or as standalone devices.

The layout mirrors telephone keypads or calculator buttons, allowing rapid number entry with one hand.

Also called a number pad or numpad.

I use the numeric keypad for spreadsheet work.
