Battery and Connection Status LED

The Numpad Pro has an LED that indicates the battery and connection status.

• Battery Status: Immediately after powering on the device or waking it from suspension, the LED will show the current charge level:
  • Green: Numpad Pro is sufficiently charged.
  • Red: Numpad Pro has less than 10% charge and needs to be recharged.
• Association and Connection Status: After displaying the battery status, the device will show the current connection and association mode:
  • White (solid): Successful 3Dconnexion wireless connection.
  • White (flashing): Ready for 3Dconnexion wireless connection.
  • Blue (solid): Successful Bluetooth connection.
  • Blue (flashing): Ready for Bluetooth connection.
  Once the device connection is complete, the LED turns off.

Recharge Numpad Pro

Connect your Numpad Pro to a computer USB port using the included USB cable. While charging, the Numpad Pro's LED will flash green, and its light will turn solid when fully charged.

Connect Numpad Pro

The Numpad Pro can be connected via the 3Dconnexion Receiver integrated into your Keyboard Pro, Bluetooth® (Swift Pair included), or the included USB cable. Wireless communication between the Keyboard Pro and Numpad Pro is always encrypted to ensure data security.

Note: Since your Numpad Pro is factory-paired with the Keyboard, you must first remove this connection before pairing it with your PC via Bluetooth. To do this, open 3Dconnexion Settings, select Keyboard Pro, and go to Paired Devices.

Upon the next device power-on, the Numpad Pro's LED will start flashing blue, indicating Bluetooth pairing availability. Ensure your PC's Bluetooth adapter is active and in discoverable mode. If your PC supports Swift Pair, simply bring your Numpad Pro close to the PC and follow the instructions that Windows displays in notifications. Otherwise, select Numpad Pro from the list of available devices within Windows settings to pair it with your PC.

3Dconnexion Settings

You can access the 3Dconnexion software settings panel via the 3Dconnexion Home icon (on the desktop), the icon in the notification area (systray), or the Windows start menu. The name of the active application is displayed at the top of the panel. Any settings changes are valid only for that specific application. If multiple 3Dconnexion devices are connected to your PC, you can select the desired product to configure by clicking the dropdown button in the top-left corner of the panel.

Advanced Settings

The settings configurable in the Advanced Settings panel are not application-specific but are the same for all applications system-wide.

Keyboard Pro

• Media Keys: Clicking the arrow (➡️) next to a key field opens a pop-up window to assign commands, macros, or radial menus to the multimedia keys (see the "Assigning Quick Macros to Buttons" section).
• Speed: By moving the two sliders, you can adjust the repeat delay (the time interval between a prolonged key press and the start of multiple character printing) and the repeat rate (the speed at which the pressed character will be printed). You can test the changes in the field below.
• Disabled Keys:
  • Caps Lock: Selecting this box disables the Caps Lock key.
  • Windows: Selecting this box disables the Windows key.
  • Insert: Selecting this box disables the Insert key.

Numpad Pro

• Key Configuration: Clicking the arrow (➡️) next to a key field opens a pop-up window to assign commands, macros, or radial menus to the keys (see the "Assigning Quick Macros to Buttons" section).

Buttons

The Buttons panel within 3Dconnexion Settings allows you to assign commands, macros, or radial menus to the programmable 3Dconnexion keys, located on the upper part of the Keyboard Pro or Numpad Pro. The name of the active application is displayed at the top of the panel. Any settings modifications are valid only for that application. While using an application, the On-Screen Display always shows the specific current key assignment. Deselect 'Always show On-Screen Display' to hide the OSD.

Note on recognizing the work environment within an application: some applications feature a work-environment-sensitive key mapping (e.g., Assembly, Part, ...). In such applications, you may have different key assignments depending on the active environment.

Numpad Pro - Decimal Separator

You can decide whether the decimal separator behavior should follow system settings or if you want to manually choose the Comma or Dot setting for a specific application.

Assigning Quick Macros to Buttons

Click on the text in the key field and press the required key or key combination to quickly assign a key sequence or macro to a 3Dconnexion key. When a macro is created, it always sends a press-and-release command. If you wish to assign a prolonged press command (e.g., Ctrl or Shift), you can use the 'Keyboard' command category in the pop-up window.

Assigning Commands via Pop-up Window

Clicking the arrow (➡️) on the right side of the key field opens a pop-up window for that Keyboard Pro or Numpad Pro key. The command category to which the 3Dconnexion key is currently assigned is highlighted in bold. The pop-up window allows you to scroll through or search for commands in various categories, such as 3Dconnexion commands or commands specific to the running application. When you select a command by clicking on it, it is automatically assigned to the Keyboard Pro or Numpad Pro key.

Creating a Macro

First, click the arrow (➡️) to the right of the key field, expand the 'Macros' category, and click 'New Macro'. The macro editor will open, where you can assign a name to the macro and a key sequence in the corresponding fields. Clicking 'Save' will automatically assign the new macro to the button from which the panel was opened.

Creating a Radial Menu

First, click the arrow (➡️) to the right of the key field, expand the 'Radial Menus' category, and click 'New Radial Menu'. The radial menu editor will open, allowing you to assign a name and commands to the different sections. The new radial menu will be automatically assigned to the key from which the panel was opened.

Paired Devices

Since the Keyboard Pro has an integrated 3Dconnexion Receiver, you can connect a Numpad Pro and up to five 3Dconnexion devices from the SpaceMouse and CadMouse lines via the Paired Devices panel. First, click the 'Add device' or '+' button, then select the device and follow the guided instructions. Wireless communication between the Numpad Pro and Keyboard Pro is fully encrypted.
