To turn on num lock on Logitech wireless keyboard, locate the Num Lock key on your keyboard's number pad and press it once. If the number pad still does not produce numbers, press and hold the Num Lock key for five seconds to activate it.
How to turn on num lock on a Logitech wireless keyboard
Most Logitech wireless keyboards with a dedicated number pad feature a Num Lock key, typically located above the '7' key on the number pad. Press this key once to enable the number pad. If a single press does not enable Num Lock, press and hold the Num Lock key for five seconds. Some keyboards include an LED indicator that lights up when Num Lock is active, but not all models have this feature; you can also turn on number lock on Logitech keyboard models that lack a dedicated key by using the on-screen keyboard. Compact Logitech keyboards, such as the K380 and K400 Plus, do not include a number pad and therefore do not have a Num Lock key.
Get on-screen num lock status notifications
You can get a visual indicator of Num Lock status on your screen if your keyboard lacks a physical LED. To get on-screen num lock status notifications, install Logitech SetPoint, Logitech Options, or Logi Options+ software on your computer. Logi Options+ is the recommended next-generation customization software for supported Logitech devices, as Logitech Options has reached end of support and is no longer maintained. For keyboards like the K800, Logitech SetPoint software provides on-screen notifications for Num Lock status.
Fix num lock problems in Windows
- Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I) and go to Accessibility (or Ease of Access).
- Select Keyboard from the left menu.
- Ensure that Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys, and Filter Keys are unchecked in Windows Ease of Access settings if the number pad is not working as expected.
- Scroll to the Mouse Keys section and confirm that the "Mouse Keys" feature in Windows Ease of Access settings is unchecked, as it can disable the number pad.
- Check that the correct keyboard layout is set in Windows Language settings. Incorrect keyboard layout settings in Windows can prevent the number pad from functioning correctly.
- Note that by default, Num Lock may be disabled each time Windows 10 boots up after a shutdown or restart, which is a setting controlled by the Windows operating system.
Fix num lock problems on a Mac
On a Mac, Num Lock is toggled simply by pressing the Num Lock key on your Logitech keyboard. No complex system setting changes are needed. If you are using an Apple keyboard, use the Clear key to toggle Num Lock instead. Unlike Windows, macOS does not have system-level settings that disable Num Lock on startup.
Other troubleshooting steps
- Replace or charge the batteries in your wireless keyboard.
- Test the keyboard on another computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or your system.
- If the problem persists, contact Logitech support for further assistance.
