I am looking to hook my computer up to my TV and play on the couch with a lap desk. Will a keypad enable me to do that without needing a keyboard?

If you were just playing video games it would work fine though the cable isn't really that long so that would be something to look at. It won't fully have the full functionality of a keyboard or replace it but it works perfectly for gaming.

You should be able to with caveats. Realize that you have to consider the cord length of the Orbweaver. I don't know the exact length of the cord, ~6 ft.? That may not be enough depending on your setup. Plus, there are over 20 keys that you can macro/program via Synapse, so depending on the game you are playing, you may have enough keys to play the game (or not) without keyboard.

Mouse will work without the keyboard. I use the mouse alone often and it works great.

Yes, I bought a case that included a keypad. The case attaches with a usb cord and works great! I bought it for my granddaughter over a year ago, and have had no problems.

This requires a sperate device like a wireless keyboard and mouse to use it from your couch. You can look at some videos on YouTube.

Just snatch up a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, and even and HDMI cable so you can relax on the couch and have your stuff on the big tv.. It works great. I hardly ever go out of touch myself though

No it is just a keyboard....there is no numeric pad either. A wireless mouse would work just fine in conjunction with the keyboard. That is how I set my thrive up as a laptop.

Do you mean that (after programming it) you plug this into a usb port on your computer and the computer automatically thinks it's a keyboard?Yes, you can map it anyway you like and it the same as hitting that key on the keyboard. You can even map combinations such as atl+F or ctrl+V into one keystroke. Very handy. THIS is for Global Marketing Genovation Model Keyprogrammable Keypad (683-U)search Amazon for the best price,,,,should work better than the g-13,,,,Tj

Yes, in fact if you use a wireless keyboard and mouse, the only cord you'll need is the electric one! It's great.

You have some functionality but it is easier with a mouse. I bought two cheap wireless keyboard and mouse kits from Big Lots for 20$ each, one is connected to my docking station and big screen and the other is kept in my office.

Most computers will be able to work with it. Also I checked it on play station 3. It didn't work with my Samsung TV.It's a remote keyboard and mousepad so useful if any of those devices connected to your tv and out of direct reach.

Hello, I own the keyboard and I dont even use the computer interface to play it. It is useable without the computer and I have put in batteries and played it on my bed even. A very fun instrument using the sound I found,(voice 82 and dsp) and yes you dont need a computer so rest assured. Sincerely, Michael E Litchmore

Yep...that's how I use mine. I also got a Logitech K400 so I can sit on my couch and easily drive the computer. Windows 8 apps and movies are way cooler this way.

Any usb keyboard will work, I personally use a wireless keyboard that had a usb dongle so I can sit in my couch.

No keyboard is required since the TV has a virtual keyboard for necessary inputs. Using your hand you can type in your inputs fairly easily. Otherwise you'll need to use the remote for keyboard input. There are USB ports, but I'm unaware if these support external keyboards, wired or wireless.

Yes, and you will only require one KB and Mouse. Its pretty slick once its up and running. I love mine.

Since this pad has 1 USB port you can use any keyboard that takes a USB connection. This works well until you need to use the USB drive for something else.
