Staff comments

Since homebrew keyboards often have a compact key layout, many layouts do not have cursor keys or a numeric keypad.
Even so, I think that there are times when you don't mind when entering characters normally, but you still want the numeric keypad for work such as accounting.
I usually use a keyboard that is laid out according to the shape of my hand, and sometimes I think that I can work efficiently by using this NavPad.
Also, since the firmware has a high degree of freedom like a self-made keyboard, it is possible to input complicated mathematical formulas and frequently entered character strings with one key.
