Numpad Keyboard Online
This online Numpad keyboard loads the Numpad layout by default. Click the keys with your mouse, tap on a touch screen, or type on your physical keyboard and watch the matching keys light up. Use the language button on the bottom row to switch to any of the other supported layouts.
The Numpad (also written NumPad or num pad) is the compact block of number keys on the right of a full-size keyboard, and the name is simply a short, everyday clipping of numeric keypad - the precise technical term that makers such as Apple, Microsoft and Logitech print in their manuals. Accountants and data-entry clerks have long called it the ten-key (or tenkey), which is exactly why a keyboard built without this block is sold as tenkeyless, or TKL; gamers favour TKL boards to free up desk space for the mouse. Casual users often just say number pad. Whatever you call it, this Numpad keyboard puts the same calculator-style grid on your screen so you can punch in figures with one hand.
The arrangement is older than the computer. In 1914 the Swedish-American inventor David Sundstrand patented a ten-key adding machine (US patent 1,198,487) that gathered the digits into a tidy 3x3 square with 7 8 9 along the top and a wide 0 beneath - a shape one hand could run through faster than any earlier full-keyboard adder. By the 1950s this ten-key grid was the standard on adding machines and cash registers, and when IBM shipped its first Personal Computer in 1981 it carried the same block onto the keyboard, topped by a Num Lock key that switched the pad between typing digits and moving the cursor. The layout has barely changed since.
This on-screen version keeps the classic calculator geometry - the tall + and Enter keys and the double-width 0 - with one deliberate change: in the top-left corner, where a physical keyboard puts Num Lock, we put a Backspace key instead. On a virtual pad there is nothing to lock - the digits are always on - so that corner is far more useful for fixing a mistyped figure. Click the keys with the mouse, tap them on a touch screen, or use the numeric keypad on your own keyboard and watch each key light up.
A numeric keypad earns its keep wherever long strings of numbers fly by - spreadsheets, invoices, bank entries, statistics and, above all, bookkeeping. To put it to work, take the Numpad typing test: instead of pangrams it serves up the kind of running calculations an accountant punches all day - sums, subtotals, percentages and price times quantity - so you can build real ten-key speed.
A unique feature: right-clicking a key types its shifted symbol.

Add Qwertia to your site
Put a keyboard button next to any input on your own website with a single line of HTML. Visitors can type accented or non-Latin characters without changing their system layout.
Drop in this one-liner and Qwertia will add a small keyboard button next to every field you mark up with data-qwertia:
<script src="https://qwertia.com/js/qwertia-input.js" async></script>
<input type="text" data-qwertia>
<textarea data-qwertia="de"></textarea>The value of data-qwertia picks the initial keyboard layout (en, es, fr, de, ru, br, it, nl, ko, ja, ar, hi, bn, tr, sv, fi, nb, pl, cs, el, az, dv, numpad). You can also use data-qwertia-layout, data-qwertia-skin, data-qwertia-size, data-qwertia-theme for finer control.
To bind fields from your own JavaScript - for example after rendering them with a framework - call the API directly:
Qwertia.bind(document.getElementById("login"), { layout: "ru" });Clicking the button opens the Qwertia keyboard in a small popover. Every keystroke is mirrored back into your input through postMessage, so framework-controlled fields (React, Vue, Angular) keep working as usual - both input and change events fire on the original element. The typed text never leaves the user's browser: there is no server round-trip.

The three fields below are bound exactly the same way as on any other site - click the keyboard icon next to a field and start typing:
Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile keyboards are built into the operating system, so they predict the word you are about to type and silently resize the touch area of the keys they expect next. That hidden auto-correction is why you sometimes can't type the word you actually mean - you aim for one key but get a different character. Start deleting and the algorithm pauses for the next word.
It's a mixed blessing: handy for everyday messaging, frustrating for passwords, codes, names and foreign words. Qwertia does no guessing - every click types exactly the character you pressed.
Yes. Qwertia virtual keyboard is completely free and runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for - just open the page and start typing.
Yes. Everything you type stays in your browser. Qwertia does not send your keystrokes to any server. The text area on this page is local to your device, and the same applies when you embed the keyboard on your own site using qwertia-input.js.
Qwertia supports twenty-three layouts: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Turkish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Czech, Greek, Azerbaijani, Hindi and Bengali, plus the alternative Dvorak layout for English and a calculator-style Numpad. Use the language button on the bottom row of the keyboard to switch between them at any time.
It is the one layout here that is not a way of writing a language at all - it is a pure number pad, and its closest cousin is the one device almost everyone carries that gets the order backwards: the telephone. A calculator and a computer's numeric keypad run 7 8 9 across the top row, but a phone keypad runs 1 2 3 across the top instead. The calculator order came first, fixed by mechanical adding machines like David Sundstrand's 1914 ten-key; when Bell engineers designed the push-button telephone in the early 1960s they ran human-factors studies and chose the opposite arrangement. One reason often cited is that seasoned adding-machine operators were so fast on the 789-on-top grid that they out-paced the phone exchange and misdialled, so the inverted 123-on-top layout was meant to slow them to a reliable speed. The two conventions have coexisted ever since, which is why jumping from a keyboard's Numpad to a phone keypad can leave your fingers reaching for the wrong row.
The Numpad - short for numeric keypad, and also known as the ten-key or number pad - is the calculator-style block of digits, a decimal point and the + - * / operators, laid out for fast one-handed number entry. It is the tool of choice for accountants, cashiers and anyone filling spreadsheets, because keying figures in a tight 3x3 grid is far quicker than reaching across the number row. Qwertia's Numpad keyboard reproduces that grid on screen, with a Backspace key where Num Lock normally sits, and the Numpad typing test drills it with real accounting calculations.
Dvorak is an alternative English layout designed in the 1930s by Dr. August Dvorak to reduce finger travel. It has the same keys as QWERTY but rearranges them so the most frequently used letters fall on the home row - the vowels under the left hand and the most common consonants under the right - which lets the hands alternate and keeps your fingers near their resting position. Try it on the Dvorak keyboard or take the Dvorak typing test. Because it is the same physical keyboard, you can switch back to QWERTY whenever you like.
Yes. The Korean layout uses the standard Dubeolsik arrangement, and Qwertia automatically combines the individual jamo you type into complete Hangul syllable blocks, just like a system input method. The Arabic layout follows the Arabic 101 standard and writes from right to left. The Japanese layout lets you type either by romaji (Qwertia converts the Latin letters to kana as you go, with no kanji dictionary) or directly on the JIS kana layout, and you can switch between hiragana and katakana. Each layout also has its own typing test with native phrases.
Live, one keystroke at a time. In Korean every key is a single jamo, and Qwertia keeps track of whether the current syllable still needs a leading consonant, a vowel or a final consonant (받침), redrawing the Hangul block on each press. If a finished block already has a final consonant and your next key is a vowel, that consonant hops to the front of a new block - so 안 followed by a vowel splits into 아 + 나 on its own, exactly like a system input method.
In Japanese romaji mode Qwertia buffers your Latin letters and converts them the instant they form a kana: ka → か, a doubled consonant becomes a small っ, and n becomes ん before the next consonant. In kana mode you type kana straight from the JIS keys and add the dakuten ゛ or handakuten ゜ to voice them. Either way there is no kanji dictionary - what you assemble is what you get.
Yes. Alongside Korean, Arabic and Japanese, Qwertia includes a Greek layout (with the monotonic tonos accent), Russian Cyrillic, and the Devanagari and Bengali INSCRIPT layouts for Hindi and Bengali. On the Indic layouts each key types one Unicode sign and your browser shapes them into conjuncts, exactly like a system keyboard. There are also Turkish, Azerbaijani, Polish, Czech, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian layouts, each with its own accented letters, dead keys and AltGr symbols.
Languages with diacritics use dead keys: press an accent key (for example ´ or ^) and then press a letter to get the accented character. You can also right-click a key to type its shifted symbol.
Yes. Type on your physical keyboard as usual and the matching on-screen keys will light up. This is useful for learning a new layout or checking which key produces which character.
Yes. Add a single line of HTML and Qwertia will place a keyboard button next to any input field on your site. See the Add Qwertia to your site section above for the script tag, layout options and a live demo.
