Using a numeric Keypad to control mount [EQMOD]

Using a numeric Keypad to control mount

You can use the regular numeric keys on your regular keyboard. However, a more useful setup is a separate numeric USB keypad that is a frequent add-on for notebook computers. This allows you to hold the keypad in much the same way as you would have used the original hand controller.

Keypad information:
